Don’t come knockin’
If this van’s rockin’
The vans were so cool.
I would say that the wrapped engines may all be for Australia. The two on the flatcars look like new GT46CU-ACe narrow gauge loco's and the last 8 look to be the last 6 QE Class loco's for Qube(QE007 - QE012) and the first 2 for the new Manildra Mills order for 17 MAN class GT46c-ACe Gen II Loco's.
I was starting to suspect that they were Australian models. They had that hybrid shape to them, a cross between American and European designs with the narrow long hoods and noses flush with the cab, respectively. Surprised they're being exported from Newport News, but I don't think there's any appropriate terminals on the West Coast.
Not sure about the narrow gauge ones. Not aware of any orders for those. CBH WA has an order for 7 GT46-ACe standard gauge locos, however they also operate on the narrow gauge in Western Australia. The order may have been varied.
@@stephenodwyer1123 The CBH GT46C-ACes aren't due until 2025, and their Cape Gauge locos are coming from Wabtec (G.E.), not Progress Rail (E.M.D.).
I agree; the last six QEs (QE007-QE012) and first MANs (MAN001 & MAN002), judging by the Cowcatches.
The two GT46CU-ACes are headed for Bowen Rail
It's truly heart-warming to see so many RR zealots (like me) fr around the world! I watch these videos to calm me... it's like self-induced therapy while living in this crazy matrix of a world!😊
WHY? WHY DO we like it so much? IDK, but yeah... I usually have Ashland and/or LaGrange on a 2nd TV when I'm not watching it, and try not to miss any grab bag videos. I don't know why, but I do too
the bucket boat is used for Bridge inspections
I always click on the Grab Bag with a little whoop of glee....
Am I the only one that waves back to my phone when someone in the video is waving.
I was on the russelville cam on the 13th
Yes!😂😅🎉❤
🖐👀
I always wave back...from the comfort of my own living room. 😂
I was at Ashland and Thomasville at 15:55 hello to you 👋🏽
Excellent catching all the trains, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a nice day.
I’m at 15:55 and visited Ashland and Thomasville when I was driving from Fredericksburg VA to Charlotte. Hello all! ❤
*Awesome Catches*
Awesome grab bag with my tankers, my favorite
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Sure glad them Scouts did their good deed for the day …….. sittin on my couch healing; I take it a bit personal and am glad someone takes time out to wave at this old man 👍❤️🙏😃
Window of opportunity with the BNSF geometry train was a nice surprise.
We used to call those vans "baby-makers"!!!
Those white wrapped engines reminds me a little bit in it's shape to some locos from Australia.
I'm not sure, but the outlines of the roofs of some of them remind me of SD-70ACe types, maybe T4 types from the shape of the radiator fans. The cab ends ... you've got me.
Aren't steam engines,in need of enroute watering?? Always a first time,live and learn! Thanks guys,always excellent work! Thank you 😇 😊!
21:26 another brand new NS 4004 repainted AC44C6M Back in 2016 Juanita Shops Altoona Pennsylvania Railroad!!
When I was a kid, the "SAFTY FIRST" signs had lanterns (for nighttime) with blue glass in them.
Nice Richardson switcher.
I have to agree
There is a lot of great train action in this video from several states
especially from my state of Oklahoma and even from BC, Canada
have a wonderful week everyone thanks.🇺🇲🇨🇦🚂🚃🚃🚂🇨🇦🇺🇲
1:12 on July 14th 2024 some things got called off Norfolk Southern workers are NS 1065 Savannah & Atlanta go back to the Juanita Shops Altoona repainted!!!
0:08 CSX 1853, this trains honks in Ashland
0:53 Ricjardson TP90! An newly-built 500hp diesel switcher from Tractive Power Industries, which also made some 3-axle locomotives like this one
1:35 CSX 1976 leading
5:06 Loram grinder
5:53 old Wagner Mills hopper
6:40 warbonnet DPU
7:48 KCSM gray trailing on a UP train
8:52 automated inspection train seen between containers
10:12 new EMD locomotives for export. the ones being moved on their own wheels are most likely Australian locomotives, GT46ACes like what many Austrlain freight operators currently use. I can't tell what the ones on the flatbeds are, but my guess is that they're for Queensland which uses 3ft 6in gauge track
12:23 moPac hopper
12:35 CP 8757 and KCSM 4557
14:14 this mixed freight has a number of unusual freight cars
15:10 triple-heading SD70M-2s with a Providence and Worchester boxcar on the same train
16:46 Winchester & Western hoppers
17:07 KCS DPU gets filled with water. It gets mixed with the coolant
19:32 first time I've seen a Harcon bucket boat
22:35 large mOW equipment attached after the tail DPU
23:19 double stacked trashtainers through Roanoke
23:45 ALC42 306 pulling the Empire Builder, then six vans from the 70s leave the parking lot
great catches and awesome engine on the first train you have..new york central
I always wonder how some of these engines end up so far from home...Enjoyed the KCS de Mexico, the bicyclists, and the little orange doodah in Chehalis, and the bucket boat; I'd never seen one before. Thanks for another great one!
Sweet catch of the ballast machine at 22:40. I didn’t know there were any of those outside of Europe/the UK.
Nice catches
😎 train i used to live a hour from pdc wi and I'd go up there and check out locos now I'm in Madison and walk up the road and check out the rail yard. But only issue here is if you're walking around you might get stopped by one going to gas station or library sometimes they go half way through then back up but usually don't have to many cars on them
EMD Rebuilt SD70 Units ?
Loved VRF Thanks ❤
The first two locos with blue tarp perhaps are going to Indonesia or Tasmania.
you should put the next cam for virtual railfan in norman oklahoma for the next live
Nice to my MTH number 1065 in real life.
This is the best Grab Bag EVER!
7:17 STP riders (Seattle to Portland).
12:54 Another group.
STP is a 200+ mile bicycle ride from Seattle to Portland.
Wow. Just...wow. They have my admiration and respect!
My wife and I moved to Burlington Iowa a few months ago from Toledo, Washington. I delivered mail for 13 years in Winlock. It was a logistical nightmare for us every year. But, ya, I saw the bikes in the Chehalis grabs and knew right away!
4:46 I saw that exact same train in Bay Minette,AL that Previous day except there was not a Transformer on there
Action pack grab bag from VR
The white wrapped locomotives look like they are part of an order for Australian operators Qube and CBH group.
10:22 GT38ACs perhaps?
La Plata PTZ is in wrong location.
10:23 the locos are some Australian GT46ace's
Why emphasis on the changing lights?
SD70ACEe fresh from final assembly in Mexico though beyond that......
Ten engines train
This guess to what only the Wrap Train
At 6:19, those are power transformers, that come even larger with cars split totally to transport them. If not power transformers the equivalent. Does anyone know the manufacturing plant? Is it ABB that used to be Westinghouse located in Virginia, far west, as I recall it was South Boston, Virginia. Has nothing to do with Boston, or is it General Electric in Shreveport, LA. Or is it imported via Ship to USA and moved by rail. All the plated ports on the side are likely the cooling radiators And associated pumps for oil circulation. If anyone knows, it’s been 10 yrs past for me, it might be interesting to some who I am and what we purchased from General Electric Shreveport, LA, ABB South Boston, VA, and ABB Bland, Virginia. Both ABB plants were Westinghouse then acquired by ABB. I didn’t cover these large units, but 350 million dollars, every three years, from these plants. All American. Much smaller units, but trucked from the factories mentioned. Much of the GE plant moved to Monterey, but we refused to purchase our units, only if they stayed in Shreveport, for reasons unrelated to cost, we paid more, there were 450 workers at the plant, half of the business moved, not our network underground transformers and the workers and the plant stayed, very specialized, trucked all the way. But that was 10 yrs ago or so. Others (USA utility companies) purchased too, but we had 90% of their production remaining. The units on the rail cars were others in my company engineering wise, but could be ABB South Boston VA. The ABB plant made much larger units even larger than those on the rail cars. From Purchase Order to ABB, to rail car could be well over a year. To build and deliver. Remember, ABB plants was Westinghouse. ABB is an international Company. ???
Just out of curiosity, why would a DPU need water?
Cooling
Thurst come to mind in heat where evaporation can take place
sooo is the wrapping to keep graffiti off the new Engines ?
no spaces before a comma (in the title) PS- the operator at 13:00 needs to be suspended for a week for such noobness
Chehalis operator needs to quit .
What does DPU mean, again? I know what those are but not the acronym.
Disbuted power unit
