    What a pair of Darwin's! It doesn't occur to either them that they could so easily trip and fall onto the Rails right in front of the Loco. I'm quite sure the Crews are aware of this and yet they have to tolerate it as well as a undergoing a momentary 'heart in their mouths' situation. However, another great Grab-Bag, thank you.

    0:16 UP MOW well cars.
    0:38 Amtrak 160 "Pepsi" on the sunset limited
    1:34 UP new livery, BNSF warbonnet, and CP red (that got new paint in 2019/20)
    1:42 you can clearly see both BN and BNSF numbers on BN 6704
    2:04 that green Malcolm Steel genset
    2:15 three Ferromex units trailing
    2:53 giant truck loads that wouldn't fit under the crossing gantry. I've come across a truck that stopped before its oversize trailer hit a train bridge.
    5:42 NS high-hood geep
    6:08 Google Street view car running on the rails of La Grange. The imagery is partially live and the last time it went this way was 2018. Did you know that three blocks east of this camera location is a train museum with a British steam engine called the Flying Duchess?
    6:24 quite a few classic cars at Revelstoke. Usually the most I'll see driving around on a day there isn't a car show
    6:59 GECX 2029. Eight years later, and most still haven't found a home
    7:07 another blue GEVO, this one is NS 8098
    7:27 UP 1988 leading through Roanoke
    7:58 the same BNSF 25th anniversary and KCS lash-up on big 10 curve from a few grab bags ago.
    8:42 this guy was cutting it close! Don't see much of the Russelville camera on Grab Bag
    8:57 and another in Elkhart. No horn this time.
    9:26 not even Virtual Railfan can escape Baby Shark!
    10:10 Ski Train car on the Texas Eagle
    10:20 what a BNSF lash-up! 2264 is a GP38-2 originally built for the Frisco, 1755 is a Santa Fe yellowbonnet SD40-2, 2042 is a GP38-3 originally built for the Penn Central and was owned by GMTX prior to arriving on BNSF hence its Smurf livery, and 537 is an ex-Santa Fe B40-8W in H2 but missing its black lines
    11:10 lots of small dumpsters stacked on each other, which the last one decides to split from the Great of the train. It takes an hour until the crew puts the train back together.
    12:43 fast freight trains in La Plata
    13:08 some old freight car liveries
    13:54 Another fast train through La Plata. It must be going about 80 mph
    14:34 Nucor Steel genset (or some other low emissions unit)
    14:46 14-car BNSF OCS with a GEVO at each end
    16:24 Nice to see such a long train on UP in Chehalis. I've seen plenty of BNSF trains that long in Kansas City
    17:48 two SD40-2s sandwiching a slug
    18:05 two warbonnets at the front

      @john stafford As soon as your air lines part the loss of air pressure in the train line will immediately automatically place any and all separated parts of the train into emergency.
      Any cycling of a stop signal to the brake system thru the PTC would lag behind what the brake system has already performed and could do no more except be a redundant back up but might aid in determining WHY train went onto emergency.
