But I have loved ones who fight wildland fire, and I would like to ask everyone to please be extra-careful now that fire season has started. Thank you all for caring and thanks to VRF for another stellar video (the end was amazing as always)!

I could smell that smoke and dry brush and plant growth like I was there in person! Being born and raised in California, I've witnessed and experienced numerous brush fires 🔥 in and around different areas in California. It's also great that thr railroad right away made for a nice fire break!😊

    That New York Central heritage unit (0:30) is an abomination and disgrace, if not an insult to the legacy of the NYC. The New York Central title should have been placed above the lightning stripe (as on the E7) for greater visibility; choosing the correct font wouldn't have been a bad idea, either. But the cut-and-paste approach to the CSX heritage units overlooks the best part: many of the legacy railroads added an extra touch of color and distinction by placing the corporate logo on the nose. You will not find that on any CSX heritage models.
