Wow!you have a intermodel train,a mix freight train,and a coal train nice catch.
I love the Strasburg Railway train! Thanks for showing it.
That was a great Grab Bag to start the weekend off with, thank you all at VRF. I liked seeing Executive livery BNSF SD70MAC running at speed thru Austell. I don't know why, but the Darwins at San Juan always look to their left, but never look to their right - and that one, was a pretty close call. LTEX - keep those GP15s coming and good-on you.
Most of all at Paradise, Mogul No.89 (my favourite wheel configuration) I thought that the Locomotive looked fantastic and nice to see the passengers enjoying their journey.
0:14 UP weedkiller train
0:55 Hi-rail truck pulling ballast hopper
1:30 three P42s on the Southwest chief, one of them being 203
1:42 MOW equipment flatbeds at the front of an intermodal
2:09 CSX 1869, the C&O heritage unit as mid-train DPU. The history of the C&O can be traced all the way back to canal companies of the 18th century
2:30 the horn stopped him
2:58 NS 4000 leading with two more AC44C6Ms trailing
3:08 4748 has the return of the DC to AC marking on AC44C6Ms. 4009 does not have them and 9666 is still a DC-powered Dash 9. a wrecked UP AC44CW is on a flatbed behind them
3:30 Amtrak 160 "Pepsi" trailing on the Lake Shore Limited with a viewliner II sleeper used for crew accommodations
4:46 autorack missing doors
5:04 a heavily graffitied UP SD70M
7:00 BNSF towing the Southwest Chief
7:37 CSX Franken-GEVO. It is still DC-powered which is an oddity among modern motive power
7:58 CSX 3440 "Spirit of Ravenna" with five recently sold off dash 8s. 5944 is a B40-8 that had its power cut in half to become a B20-8. It is also an ex-Susquhenna unit. 7313 is ex-Conrail along with 5961 (which has not been de-powered) and 7318
8:50 UP power with the 10-car Rocky Mountaineer
10:20 ATSF yellowbonnet leading a fuselage train
10:38 three brand new ET44C4s on the front
11:38 the start of a derailment in Ft. Worth. OMLX 4467 (Winchester and Western Hopper) and the small covered hoppers behind it had wheels come off the rail, with MWCX 310416's entire truck bouncing on the ties. The whole cars come off after they pass the camera.
13:03 four ALC42s on the Capitol Limited! 327, 309, 333, and 337 along with the FRA brown car
13:45 BNSF 6026 with a giant Northern Pacific sticker on the nose
13:54 BN green SD60M and H3 GP30 rebuild with empty airplane fuselage flatcars
15:40 two GP15-1s sold to LTEX
16:00 Loram grinder at work
17:47 two trains stopped and proceeding very close to each other. I thought the ballast train would have to wait for a clear block to proceed without risk of hitting the covered hopper train in front of it
18:56 Herzog well train putting out some exhaust
19:26 Strasburg 89
20:42 9-unit lash-up with NS and ex-ATSF power
21:14 BNSF 15-car OCS
22:07 UP, Ferromex new livery, and KCS power on one train
22:26 pressurized tanks on flatbeds
22:34 a small string of gondolas pushed by a hi-rail truck
22:52 heavy-duty flatcar carrying a Siemens energy load through Ft. Worth. It's going super slow and people are walking alongside it to make sure it doesn't derail like those hoppers
For people from Australia the one thing that defines US trains it’s the continual use of the horns. But they do sound impressive.
We have a looooooot of grade crossings as regulations over needing horns and bells in certain instances.
Darwin Candidates are everywhere!!!
They're very common too.
Nice flow of trains here love it please more .thanx cheers 👍👍👍💪💪💪🍏🙏🦘🇦🇺
14:37 Theres the proof the pickup truck ran the red light, car has a green light.
Should I ever get t-boned next to railroad tracks, I’m gonna visit VRF for video evidence.
@@joegladstone7739 Psst, get a dashcam
Huge fire risk in Upshur County TX and the Loram Rail grinder is out there tossing sparks. They sure are keeping our Firefighters busy though.
They actually had to come back and spray down one fire, then another smaller one started which got inside a railroad tie and it ended up needing three workers to get it doused.
At the beginning of this video. What was the Yellow train and used for? I never seen this before. Thanks Robert
Yeah! That. What is it?!
Paradise certainly lives up to its name.
Nice shot of CSX 1714. Never seen SD23T4.
So much to enjoy as usual!
*Awesome Catches*
hello virtual railfan it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
great start to the weekend...thanks.
14:33 The fender bender that was mentionned did not involve a train.
16:00 The Loram train doing the spraying.
22:10 Fallen Flag.
That was quite the unusual occurrence in Hesperia with 3 trains on the same track.
I wanted to include more video of it because of its rarity, but attention spans are short (mine included), and one of the strengths of the Grab Bag is to move along without too much attention to one event.
Trains can line up right next to each other going the same way on the BNSF Cajon Sub as long as its past an ABS signal, if it’s a CTC signal then they’d have to get permission from the dispatcher to do so.
Yup what @hlcx2330 said is true as long as it’s an ABS signal and they they slow down to be able to stop in sight distance that can get stacked up like this even passing red indications
very interesting as always keep up the good work
Some railroads had instructions not to couple small short Freight cars with an autorack due to sharper curves which will cause the longer car to lift up the end of the shorter car have caused it to pop off the rails
Those tracks running down the middle of the streets are bizarre😊!
Awesome video!
Nice video
Amazing video
Keep these going
As much as I like the clear sight lines at Deschler, I miss the old depot. More history that bit the dust.
OH COOL! 21:14 I wish if I was at milledgeville to see that come thru! It’s about 50-70 miles from Rochelle on the Aurora subdivision.
I saw a bnsf coal train with a Norfolk southern leader in sulagant alabama last night
I've been in Sulligent before with the carnival that used to do the old fashioned days, and we sat right next to the tracks. Lots of trains through there. That would be a great spot for a VR camera.
@@JohnPingley-op6mq I agree
I had a few questions for the number of powered locomotives when there were 7 to 13 lead locomotives, 3 DPU center, and 4 to 7 pusher/helper locomotives at the end of the train. No one could tell me if all these locomotives were needed. I found the answer myself thanks to cameras and mic's close to the rails. It took me almost a year to watch and listen close to obtain this information. The most lead loco's I have seen powered were 5 if they were 6 axle loco's and 6 powered loco's if there were multiple 4 axle locomotives. Any additional head-end/lead locomotives were just along for the move and not even operating. I have seen as many as 3 center DPU's but usually only 1 or 2 operating, with the additional loco's not powered. And the most pusher/helper locomotives at the end of the train I have seen were 3, with any other locomotives at the end of the train not even powered. There may be additional locomotives powered in DPU configurations, but the hundreds of trains I saw I haven't seen or heard them. There can always be exceptions to the rules. I thought I would share this information. If you decide to tell others, I would appreciate if you mention you got the information from me, and ask others to do the same if they present this information.
I was wondering why the sprayer had so many engines for 3 cars, but seems it does a lot of back and forth. All those powered wheels probably make that much easier/faster.
@@timbrwolf1121 That is a Loram Rail Grinding train. That segment starts at 16:01. The silver frames under some of the cars are the rail grinders. Each of the grinder cars, 5 total, has it's own power which is why you can see the exhaust of the diesel engine that powers a generator to supply electric to the grinding motors. The sprayer is to prevent fires. As the rail is being ground, there are red hot sparks in the 1800 degree F range. That is why it runs back and forth to make sure the area is wet to prevent fires. You can see at 16:29, smoke is starting to rise near a box and utility pole. There are two locomotives, one at each end of the train. The black cars are the water tanks. Also, some of the video is at 3 times normal speed. The Loram train usually moves at walking speed so it is not difficult to move back and forward. I hope this helps answer you questions.
Clip I saw live:
0:56 - Car on rails carrying freight! It also met a train as well, surprised the meet didn't make it in.
7:42 it’s like putting a ford in a chevy 😅
5:07 *UP 4780 Needs To Be Repainted Completely All Of That Illegal Graffiti Destroyed The Locomotive And It's Union Pacific Paint Scheme*
Graffiti literally does nothing to the locomotive all it does is make it look goofy
Given how filthy most UP engines are, it's almost an improvement.
Better than the paint burned off by exhaust fires.
Illegal graffiti? As opposed to Legal graffiti? 😆
6:25 that's quite a sight, it's going to make me dizzy! :)
Nice to see CSX 3440 "The Spirit Of Ravenna" for the first time in a while.
No Comments about the funny looking train at the beginning of the video.....???
Excellent Video!!
🌾🍀🇮🇳🍀🌾
5:05 I caught that SD70M a few times, it was one of the SD70Ms used for locals where I railfan
It’s another Southern mishap in Austell Georgia Y’all !
20:40 is a location featured in “Prr odyssey” the location looks exactly the same as it did when PRR owned the mainline.
nice trains bro
Am curious what was going on at 17:35 in Hesperia. Was this one train that was split in two for some reason?
I don't know, but I'd like to hear the rest of that story as well.
The WB UP was stopped at Lugo for a red signal. The DS allowed the WB BNSF to nose up to and stop behind it. After the EB passed on M1, the UP got the green and switched over to M1 at Lugo. BNSF also continued West staying on M1. They were stacked up on the Cajon sub that afternoon.
This also could have had ABS signals which allow train crew to pass them even on red as long as they reduce to speed that allows them to stop in half of the sighted distance
3:10, NS 4748, Now that's brand new!
Not NS kidnapping UP 😂
Could you guys add some northeast corridor trains like on the Boston to Washington DC route because then you could have stations in between them like metropark Newark baltimore so yea just a suggestion not forcing.😅
There are two locations I know of on the NEC. South Norwalk CT and Davisville RI.
2:09, CSX 1869 the Chesapeake and Ohio locomotive!
17:44 what was that all about? Seems pretty sketchy
Well, I figured it wouldn't take BNSF long to put those new ET44ACHs on other trains besides coal drags!
what is that first UP train used for? looks weird ive never seen it before
17:38 That's Odd! I didn't think that was supposed to happen. 2 consists in the same section at the same time. ??????????????
3:10 is what happens when you park in a no parking zone on ns tracks
Are the California cameras going to be up during the hurricane
Wait there’s a hurricane coming cuz I live in califronia
@patriciatoscano2074 I live on the East coast and I heard on my news there was a hurricane headed to California. That was yesterday
We'll see.
Why wouldn't they be?
@@bennetts-revenge_2 I don’t keep up with the news I just found out thank you
Hello steam 89! :D
7:42 is it me or is that engine really shinny? Lol
Military loads, derailment,MOW work, Darwin, action packed Grab Bag!🛤🚂👍
Starting at 17:39 - never saw 2 trains heading in the same direction - AT THE SAME TIME - before (especially separated by only 100 or so feet)?
Anyone know what's with that EMD (no. 1714) with the huge radiator at about 7:45? Experimental? rebuilld? something else?
I believe NS&CSX should BOTH make a CONRAIL Heritage Unit. One GE, and One EMD. And BNSF should make 2 Warbonnet Heritage Units. One Red&Silver, and One Blue&Yellow; And again One EMD & One GE.
Derailment is at 11:16
What's the specialty train shown at the very beginning?
I actually saw CP 7014 in Las Vegas
Hello from the UK, from where some of your American trains look rather weird. So many apparent lorries (road trucks) adapted for running on the railway track. Looks a bit like road traffic that is wannabe trains.
17:39 Interesting sight. Probably not a problem if the crew is not dead tired...
It's not the first derailment I recall on that spot in Ft. Worth. What might be the cause?
I've seen the UP Spray train before (first clip) but never seen the first 2 cars behind the locomotive before what are they?
I wondered what that unit was for Tks
Spray train? As in trackside defoliant?
@@joegladstone7739 it sprays weed killer on both sides of the tracks
Seems like there's quite afew derailments there in the Tower 55 interlocking.
3th derailment happened at ft. Worth at 11:38
What is that yellow train at the beginning?
They had a derailment in that same area last year .
3:09 the damage gets progressively worse.
I'm sorry, where is the DeRailment?
How often are the grab bags posted
@2:52 I know the focus was the light, but can we appreciate the patina on those Milwaukee Road boxcars?
Anyone have an idea as to the Siemens Energy component transported on the "high and wide" in Ft. Worth (23:11)?
How 'bout a transformer for a power utility substation. Alot are moved like that due to weight.
Small steam engine with 8 on is at its limit for grip.
Where those CR Dash 8’s going?
how can you have two trains on one track in the uk at least two sections between trains
3 words: automatic block signalling
Sometimes I think UP locos sit around a lot. Gives the taggers a lot of time to do their dirty work.
Why do they get so many derails on this stretch of track?.
That derailment area seems popular! I saw another video of a train derailment in the same location about a year ago and just gotta admire that wonder Darwin candidate 😅 stupidity runs wild.
What was with the non-Amtrak engine pulling the Amtrak in Kansas City, MO (c. 7:00) and wherever it was at c. 21:15? Does that happen often?
I have a feeling that one of the engines broke down.
The Amtrak train at 7:00 most likely had one or both of the P42s die, so they had to get help from BNSF. The train at 21:15 is actually a BNSF train. They have their own set of passenger cars for special events.
@@everettrailfan I never knew about the BNSF passenger cars. Cool!
3 wide for fmd IA
And once again another example of why you have to pay attention at all times in austell
16:45 what is that train spraying?
2:30 let him run ...
16:00 What is going on here?
Rail grinder set the grass on fire.
A rail grinder?
@@Av-vd3wkThe head of the rail wears out over time, and can develop flat spots, surface cracks, and other defects. This special train goes along at about 5mph and grinds the railhead with abrasive wheels to restore it to the proper profile. Naturally, this shoots out a lot of glowing-hot metal particles (I've seen one at night, it's very impressive), and as seen here, they are hot enough to light dry grass on fire. The black tank cars are filled with water, and there are both fixed sprayer nozzles and a big nozzle operated by a crew member at the back, to take care of this.
@@SynchroScore Wow!! Thanks for the explanation, I never knew this!!
@@Av-vd3wk You're welcome. I volunteer at a railway museum, I end up explaining things all the time to passengers.
Wish you provided timestamps of events
The track machines used to drive down to their next destination but sadly now they just get a ride
Well, hauled on flat cars they can move much faster, and you need only one locomotive crew, rather than a driver for every vehicle.
Sprayeth the rails
21:18 I thought all the circus trains were retired
That's the BNSF business car train.
@@SynchroScoreI think that's the joke, but I'm genuinely not sure lol
@@everettrailfan You know, that is a good point. Considering how bad customer service and labor relations at some railroads have gotten, the executives and management could be mistaken for a clown show.
Wow, I cant believe anyone said first because when people say that its annoying
Does anyone know if the Freedom train still runs?
Bruh the last time it ran was in 1977 lol
@@threepea1151 I thought it was still running
The title of the video is uh, something
What happened at 19:27?
The wreck was fault of truck driver. Look at lights.
Auto rack coupled to a two-bay covered hopper, of course it derailed. This PSR nonsense is causing more problems with bad train makeup.
I hope the channel owners are sending a copy of the recording of the fender-bender, as well as the recording from the incident in Elkhart which was (understandably) not included in the grab bag, to the authorities who are responsible for investigating these accidents. There's no reason anyone should have to go through a prolonged investigation when it just happened to occur right in front of a camera. Not that it's "lucky" to have it on camera; "lucky" would mean not having it happen at all. But given that accidents do happen, better to have it clearly recorded than not.
train
Wait fr?
Timestamps would be GREAT for these videos
You mean like the ones that appear at the top in every one of these clips?
@@KG-xt4oq No, timestamps added to the video description.
@@SynchroScore Oh yeah that makes sense...duh...lol.🙃
@@KG-xt4oqIt's pretty easy to do. Just type the time, minutes:seconds, in the video description, followed by the text you want to title that chapter.
@@SynchroScore So why don't you or mikeyRavens do it then if it's 'pretty easy to do'?
Enough of these sped up segments. They're annoying and if nothing interesting is happening, just cut it out or let it play at normal speed.
Don’t stop the videos every few mins it’s annoying
Been watching a long time. Its professionally and expensively done. But the waving people are a distraction and not interesting to anyone but themselves. How about featuring them all at one time each week or two from all locations after the real show? Enough of interesting and non-interesting segments together. Good luck ……..
Everyone finds different things "interesting." I think it's fun to see people in different places enjoying the rails in person and waving to those enjoying online. I've been both, and I like both, not just when either one happens to be me.
@@trishoconnor2169 What possible interest can anyone have in a stranger interrupting the show they like to watch ?. VR has a big investment in their PTZ national system I think and those souls cost VR money and us our time. Its important on FB to stay online for better pay I think. I know the wavers often cause channel changing here as It breaks concentration.
