Can’t believe you did not show the rest of that Tropicana juice train. Was it a dedicated train? Is it back? How many juice cars? That would be exciting if it was back!!!
I think Virtual Railfan should do a location in Marion Ohio. It's a great place for railfanning the fact that trains average to come every 20 minutes and there are eight diamonds! Also the NS Sandusky District crosses over the CSX Mount Victory Subdivision and the CSX Columbus Subdivision crosses over the CSX Mount Victory Subdivision. So there would be an east camera and a west camera for two viewing points on all eight diamonds. There is also a museum, a caboose, and a watch tower there. Overall, Marion Ohio would be a great place to put Virtual Railfan cameras.
0:32 I'm amazed that Galesburg was able to function at all yesterday, during a heat index of 130°F. Gotta feel for anyone working outdoors in conditions like that.
The guys and gals I feel sorry for are the ones laying asphalt on road jobs They’re right on top of the hot asphalt which is around 200*f and then the heat index plus the hot engines of the machines…whew!!!
That MOW machine at Skykomish looked interesting and also, I wondered if the Boxcars at Chehalis with their open doors, were making a last journey? I thought that CSX 8137 looked really good with her classic 'this is exactly as I was built' Workhorse appearance. But I loved the slight wheel-slip of No.89 at Paradise. She is a very nice looking Locomotive.
So at ~21:25 I see this thing come into view, and think "They are moving that wreck on the main?" Thin I see it is some type of ballast machine. "Never mind." 😁
0:13 8-unit lash-up 0:38 this ex-CMQ and CEFX units have been sold to NS.

It has a European-style horn
Is it just my imagination, or does BNSF spend more time than the other major railroads shuffling around blocks of locomotives from one terminal to another?
Many other roads often include dead-in-tow locos being transfered in regular freight trains saving the need for a separate move. BNSF chooses to use a separate move which does not interfere with a regular trains make up and operation.
CSX still with their Half-Arse Heritage paint (B&O, Chessie, L&N) etc the just won't go the whole way they just have to put their Yellow CSX nose etc on them !!! UP and BNSF have the money they should do Heritage units right like "Norfolk Southern" did, they did it Right and they didn't worry about the cost and still repaint them when needed !!! 👍
And the Darwin candidate of the year is 😅 id actually like to see at least one of them caught by the police trying this dangerous stunt! The one with the bicycle got warned by getting hit in the head. Would have been just karma with the train would have left with his bicycle still on the train!
How many phrases entered the language from railroad talk? Can't make the grade. Slipping my wheels. Off track (well, that may be hunter talk). p.s. I do believe Kingsley Inn lens needs a good polishing.
Well the stream Is BEHIND the drivers on the way out. Any moisture on track on back up was probably already dried/evaporated in the heat and in any event that is what sanders are for. The main thing the injector is working to keep your boiler water at the proper safe level, the primary conern.
@@kennethhanks6712 if we had a railroad system on par with America’s standards, that cyclist would have been able to cycle down through an underground tunnel for pedestrians and cyclists.
@kardondo The thing is if you consider the thousands (likely hundreds of thousands) of grade crossings in the US and the cost in multiple (often 100s of millions for a single major crossing elimation) there simply is not funding (hundreds of billions at least) available from any and all sources to remove them all in next many lifetimes. For such minor traffic volumn crossings as this one the general public simply has to exercise a little patience and good judgement (just like at many minor road intersections where stop signs make more economic sense than much more costly stop lights.
Rather than continuing to LA the train was terminated at Tucson and passengers were taken west by bus. Amtrak switched ends for the train to run back to New Orleans as the Sunset #2. There was storm damage to track somewhere between Tucson and LA.
I think your lawyers would be nervous when you do the Darwins... People have gotten lots of $$ for less than these making fun of them... These are strange times we live in VRF. Be careful!!!
People use bad judgement all the time, but we don't call them Darwins. And natural selection, which is what the Darwin Awards (i e. Darwins) refers to, has nothing to do with the gene pool or intelligence. This is a wonderful channel with awesome railroad action but we shouldn't mock people's bad judgement.
I wonder if this channel would do a compilation of all the Darwin candidates from this year.
Making "it" a yearly event. Has my vote, YES!
Yes
Yes and with goofy bonk sounds
An we could vote for the best or dumbest one
I like this idea, and what would even be better is to hear the lame excuses....lol...Robert
Just love the black and white of the steam from Paradise scene. It puts you back in time! Thank you Virtual Railfan for putting this together!
Thank you for showing us waving at Roanoke VA. Much appreciated. Our family got to see it.

SF warbonnet in Roanoke VA 👍,nice shot of the relay case in Chattanooga, good video!🛤🚂
I like the view between the trees in Fort Madison.
Saw a CPKC autoloader near Bristol, VA a few days ago. They're definitely moving fast with the re-branding.
Why does it seem like half of all bnsf traffic is a power move
Poor management?
Extra horsepower and tractive effort.
It's because it's interesting enough to be shown here, so that's all you're seeing
Not enough crews running them everywhere and wearing them out !
Because it's documented more.
Is it just my imagination, or does BNSF spend more time than the other major railroads shuffling around blocks of locomotives from one terminal to another?

What was that symbol on the front of the light blue loco in Galesburg? clearly the badge is painted over.

*Awesome*
hello virtual railfan it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
Be nice at some point if you coukd start adding annotations to each clip. Im not super familiar with trains and some clips are shown with no idea why.
Amazing video virtual railfan
Handlebar hits his head @12:15

How many trains a day and what line?
What was the SF steam locomotive 🚂?
I actually was the one who Caught BNSF 730 going through Ohio. Just happened to catch it when I heard a train going by.

Nice Video
can you do it in miles too?
idk metric''''''''''"
oh I gotta get those extinct grain elevator cars someday in HO!
0:50 Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?
Re. Paradise: Doesn't help with the wheelslip when you're watering the tracks with the injector overflow.
Well the stream Is BEHIND the drivers on the way out. Any moisture on track on back up was probably already dried/evaporated in the heat and in any event that is what sanders are for.
The main thing the injector is working to keep your boiler water at the proper safe level, the primary conern.
3:01 you would think RR LM would have mastered load and power calculations in this day in age, but nope, they continue to waste time and money.
Where in Covington is that located?
A lot of American train movements and the loco crew would be banned in the UK and Europe because of health and safety.

TY, I just could not get that.
@@joepeach997 it’s. Class 3 railroad in NY. The main off is 45 minutes from Fairport NY.

At the time of the footage (Aug 22, 7:19PM), the heat index was 106
You say that like the economy completely crashes when it gets warm outside 💀
@ 13:38 He's been drinkin to much hytest kerosene gotta switch back to some low test heating oil get evened out ,LOL.
Anyone have better guess than me? Does those engines at Fort Madison @4:36 say NS on them??
Yep. NS recently bought multiple of those for power. Not the CEFX, just the ex - CMQ.
@@RH1N0______13 ah ok makes sense now! I did not know that thank you.
I don’t think it was a Google street view
The color was white so it had to be apple maps
You are correct, we just found out about it. I'll try to get a correction in the next GB, thanks!

Wish you'd of showed on screen why the engines did a run around the train in Tucson.
