Our VRF Grab Bags (GB) videos are compiled from content from our cameras as Mods and fans spot something neat while watching our cameras. In the GB you will, of course, find a variety of TRAIN content, special trains, maintenance, steam, diesels, interesting rail cars, cool paint schemes and more. You will also find fun people, city events, boats, planes, cars (sometimes going wild) and nature. Thank you for taking the time to sit back and enjoy these highlight reels that we call "Grab Bags"!
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Heritage Units, electric transformers, train meets, an adorable bird chirping, CSX military train in Folkston, Georgia, and so much more, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a wonderful week.
New York Central tribute engine, more memories of my bestie and I hanging out in his New York Central room filled with memorabilia from his dad putting in 30 years with them. Thanks so much for your astounding work!! The picture of driving the last spike was wonderful!!
@ 24:30 - What could be more authentic than Civil War reenactors taking photos with their cell phones? LOL.
Technology was really advanced back then.
Never thought I would see Civil War Reenactors doing a reenactment of the battles that took place in Pennsylvania on a railcam.
Very classy 'Central Pacific' "Promontory Point" Observation Car. The appearance of the 'P&LE' CSX Heritage Unit was a delightful surprise the other day. Strasburg re-enactment actually not too far from Chambersburg which was sacked and burned by Confederate forces during the War Between the States as retribution for Federal's destruction of Southern facilities. The black and white photography added an almost Matthew Brady touch to the scene. Great Grab Bag
I was thinking that it must have looked a lot like that: the beautiful day, the gunfire...but not the cellphones!
Nice catch in Folkston with mixed manifest and Military loads and power running long hood forward, SF warbonnets meeting 👍,nice video!🛤🚂
We rode the Strasburg RR 2 days before the re-enactment with another hardcore RR buff from Fairport, NY. In the early 70s to the mid 80s I used to run RR crews all over NY and PA for the D&H and Conrail with my home base in Binghamton NY, taking crews as far as Buffalo, Allentown, Corning, Albany and a bunch of other cities when I drove/dispatched for Yellow Cab out of Binghamton!!
Finally a train i see on the railcam is in a grab bag
8:32
So glad I made it to the grab bag again! Was at 21:38 wearing the vest!
Yea man! We had a good time for sure.
24:30 LOL! Lower right corner: "Lemme get your picture...look deader!"
New York Central hu and CSX 911 in the opening clip! 😁
You know it's going to be a bad day at work when you have to call the Hulcher Auto Club to come and change a flat on your Tank Car...
They should get an extended warranty
Hiring Hulcher to do a wheel changeout in the field has to be really expensive.
@IowaGrandpaTrain probably so. Even more of a hassle is the delay in service for the cars coupled to it, and any trains that are stacked up on either side. But in the grand scheme of things, it's probably a lot cheaper than to repeat a situation like what happened not too long ago in Ohio.
I’m sure they thought it was worth it.
Excellent Grab Bag as always. You guys are great!
Civil War Reenactors! Definitely different and cool!
Very poor taste.
@@Bill5071 Why??
@@Bill5071 How so? I like seeing these things.
@@Bill5071 So, why is it poor taste?
@@Bill5071 I don't know why people working to preserve history is such poor taste on your end.
Railfan Gone with the wind. Who woulda thunk. ..Good stuff. Thanks.
I inherited my Dad’s pre World War 11 Lionel train collection. Over the past 30 years some pieces have been gifted to other family members. Boys Clubs and a neighbor who loves Lionel as much as any train collector, however the New York Central four Engine unit has stayed with me on a shelf in the family Room. The Lionel flashing light crossing gates and signal towers have been modified to turn on with a switch thanks to my handy husband. I remember the days when the big Irishman ran the trains all year round with his half dozen girl crew. I was the conductor, now I am the caregiver. My grandsons prefer Lego battery trains, pure sacrilege!.
How much does one of those wheelsets weigh? That was a really cool changeover, but I have a feeling that it's not as easy as they made it look. I loved the robin and the sparrow in Cumberland and the gorgeous new CPKC engine, and that ending is going to haunt me for a while. Thank you!
Wow, those two Darwins in that ATV were lucky they didn't hit a big rock or large object and tip over to the right on to the tracks.
I died laughing at that Peter Griffin picture
*Awesome Catches*
Love the Unimog at Folkston, Ga!
4:01 At CPKC, we'll leave the doors open for ya!
With a different kind of e bell.
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Hey all, at 14:20 the box cars with the tarps for roof, what would they be hauling? I was in Memphis last week and saw similar cars and was curious.
Garbage Train. And boy they stink if you're on a bridge when it passes under you on a warm day!
Thank you for the information!
good day when vr uploads
Mercedes Unimog🥰😍
0:10 wow, CSX 1853 and 911 together along with two GP40-3s
0:42 CSX 1982 leading (again at 2:12 and 16:28 and 21:00)
1:40 NS 8104 and five other locomotives behind it
2:27 boxcar on a flatcar and a large transformer. A Herzog locomotive is with the tail DPU
3:12 CPKC local job. I noticed that more Canadian Pacific locomotives now work around knoche yard
3:53 CPKC 9375 and KCS 4858. When 9375 was on display in KC, I wrote "sub 2 MrBNSFtrain" on the dusty fuel tank's left side.
4:22 DODX boxcar between autoracks an intermodal well cars. It probably transports some sort of fuel judging by the lack of large doors
4:38 WAMX 1702
5:18 Promontory Point private car. I've seen that car a number of times over the past 15 or so years
5:38 long-hood-forawrd CSX ET44AH being the only power with military tanks
6:33 Patrick Henry private cars. (again at 18:54) I've also seen these numerous times as they tend to stay in kC
6:55 dune buggy races a train
8:40 smoky exhaust and a West coast Express F59PHi
8:47 Peter Griffin spotted in Fokston, Georgia! "This is worse than the time I was on Virtual Railfan!"
10:13 interesting to see wheels changed on a main track
12:35 Mercedes Unimog! Although common as fire trucks, snowplow trucks, off-road racing, and even moving train cars in Europe, only about 200 were ever sold in America
13:20 I've never seen a UP local job in Chehalis before. this one has an SD70ACe and SD60 (now upgraded to SD62 specs)
15:18 WOW! warbonnet 692 as DPU passing warbonnet 669 on a local job
16:07 tank car on a flatbed
16:44 Cotton Belt gray GP60
17:02 containers with doors all over
17:38 BNSF 8-car OCS
19:43 northern sky private cars (again at 21:45)
19:58 two people climb between stopped train cars, five minutes apart!
20:23 ex-Citirail unit on a CN train through Elkhart
21:13 the same West coast Express F59PHi on a different train
22:12 different horn on BNSF 5052
4:25 - This rail car does not exist. Move along, citizen.
DODX = Don't Ask, Don't Tell. You saw nothing.
I have surmised that the Santa Fay engines are BNSF heritage units. BNSF saved on the cost of painting that way.
BNSF's idea of heritage locos is to put some sticky labels on the side of a normal pumpkin colored on.
It’s Santa Fe not Fay
2 harrittige units on one train thats crazy
Anybody know anything about the machine at 5:59 and 6:24? If I had to guess, I would say it unloads or loads a tank from a railcar and transports it to a ramp or dock and vis versa. Looks like it has railroad wheels and looks like it might also be capable of changing its height.
That is a self-propelled modular transporter.
Straussburg civil war battle awesome
I wonder what cell service was like on Little Round Top.
Tank car: Ho hum, Hulcher's work is never done.
What is so great about this train going down the middle of the street. The site seems to play a lot on VR>
How many trains do you know go down the middle of a street?
There's not much that goes on with the normal traffic. I just love the encounters they face with low-brains individuals in cars, waiting for the train to swerve around them. That's what usually makes the Grab-bag. I think this time it was a Heritage engine, but with CSX's heritage paint, you just about miss it unless you're looking at the side of the engine, which is difficult with these cameras. Head-on, a heritage locomotive from CSX looks like any other CSX locomotive. But they had to be different!
@@devtrash Dozens, actually... I've worked on a couple of them. Columbus GA and Clearwater FL. And there's lots more. This one just happens to be a CSX main line with 20-30 trains a day.
@SD40Fan_Jason More like 10-15 since CSX worked trackage rights deal w/LOU & IN from Lou to Seymour, IN then old B&O Cincy.
8:45 why does CSX have a F59PHI trailing
Being delivered to commuter authority from Progress Rail shop near Waycross, GA.
At 22.44 is that an EMD b unit?
Yes. Former Santa Fe GP60B. There were 23 of them built. All are in service.
Is That Peter Griffin from Family Guy!?
When is bnsfgoing to give some of those Santa Fe engines a fresh paint job??
That’s what I am thinking too I’m so glad I model the 90s
Never they gonna scrap it once it start having engine trouble
@@leonardovalladares4315 at least have one saved and preserved
20:56est. Used obvious BNSF wants the War Bonnet Santa Fe's to just fade away.
BNSF needs to buy.2 of Amtrak’s old P42s for they’re OCS train and make 1 p42 into the Santa Fe heritage units & the Other p42 into the Burlington heritage unit
Single locomotive hauling 31 tanks.
13:57 Never expected a UP SD70ACE to have a rare K3HL, as much as a BNSF AC44CW with a rare P3 at 22:13.
Reminds me of the SP and CNW days
Goodness why is it that nearly every Santa Fe engine I see in your videos are in desperate need of a paint job??
If I were working for BNSF which I will eventually I would be a train painter and I would paint one of those engines back to Warbonnet colors
Since BNSF merged in 1996, those units are over 28 years old. It is a shame they have not been repainted.
@BC-fx6ud exactly I agree it looks terrible and my goodness I know everything is about the dollar but a nicely painted and maintained engine says everything about the company running these units in my opinion?
Yup, that's a train
2516 is a gp30 right
Rebuilt as GP39Es from NS high hood GP30s with spartan cabs, and lacking the 36" radiator fan.
Does anyone else wave back to the people that wave at the camera?
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
uh who is she that greeted
8:50 PETER GRIFFIN!
Peter griffin : I am a Railfan and I play trains
12:48 tf is a unimog doing here??
1st
Its not an accomplishment
@@VWdabug 🥰
I don't like watching these guys who edit their film clips, I personally like to count the cars on various trains, I understand that they want to show as much as they can & that it is all about the engines & not what they have behind them, but still I have been counting the cars since I could count, now I'm 80 yrs old & still like to count
So... what you're saying is that you can't count on this guy?
E
18:42 what is this?
Electrical substation transformer.
I did not expect that horn show did you
Also 9:34 the 5x watermark begins but the video remains in Real time. Probably intended for the 10:13 mark instead.
Lets stop the train and block all crossing to get wheels change
they didn't block all the crossings, just a handful. There's plenty of other ways around. Meanwhile the tracks belong to the Railroad, they were there first in most cases.
Agreed; they blocked 4 or 5 crossings for a little over an hour while changing out the wheelset. Strange thing is, there's 2 sidings just ahead (I think, but I'm not from the area) to set out the car. I have never seen this procedure ever done on an active main line. Very unusual repair at that location...
@@railseast It seems like they really needed to do the job on the spot, doesn't it? PS: Even longer than that. That is the same train at 13:20 and it's finally starting to move!
21:16 what is this engine doing?
It is going back to Vancouver, BC.
GP60 b unit at 22:45
Rare to see B-units anymore. Slugs, sure! but not an actual B-unit.
@@SD40Fan_Jason once in a great while they appear in Flagstaff or through Chelalis.
I don't think there were any cell phones back then to film the battle!😂 Great Grab Bag as usual! Love the Robin singing!😍
I split a gut watching the 2 ‘Darwin Candidate(s)! 😅😅😂😂❤
"Promontory Point" was not the site of the inset photo (Promontory Summit of Golden Spike fame).
At 4:55, an interesting top-down view of a singing American Robin. His friend appears to be an immature House Sparrow.
Such sweet music it made!❤🐦⬛
@@TinkerTailor4303 It's the only American thrush, and all the birds in that family have lovely voices.
0:58 The livery races of 2024 are heating up. 😂
Love Your Videos! My Best Train Viewing, Was Driving A Truck From Oklahoma To California. Entertaining Even At Night, Watching The Engineer Open The Throttle Thru The Desert.
Amazing, I did not know they had cell phones during the Civil War.
I was on the amtrak train with the white and blue dome car
There’s me at 21:39 in the blue! Glad to be in it.
Peter
Excellent footage, enjoyed every minute.
8:55 🤣🤣
Hey Lois remember the one time I went to Folkston and got on the virtual railfan grab bag?
