Wow! Excellent catching all the trains, especially the CSX locomotives in Chehalis, Washington, adorable birds in Deshler, Ohio, the Heritage Units, and so much more, I like them all, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
That Little Red CF7 No.50 at Chattanooga was nice to to see again. At Gt. Plains, Wichita, for once it was not the WAMX Loco's exhaust that were responsible for the smokescreen. Most of all at Chehalis, BNSF SD70MAC 9687 - OTP and fantastic to see, thanks VRF.

Ooh, I loved that ending--the Hesperia meet was also great. The night footage in Rochelle was beautiful, and of course I loved that beautiful dove and all of the starlings and sparrows. But what the heck was up with the rubber chicken?
4:38 That blue and pink color scheme on the locomotive looks like the old Florida East Coast (FEC) color scheme, the old 4-axle locomotives, still in use today.
If you are referencing the lead loco at 4:38 the picture quality is masking its true colors! That is the paint scheme used on the original EMD SD70 AC electrical loco fleet (believe it was 3 or 4 hundred strong) to BN when they really ramping up the production of the Powder River Basin coal field and is still in its original (I think) scheme. The locos were given a special new paint scheme of a VERY dark green (just about what the classic KCS scheme has that looks black but isn't) and a "creme" (not white) color. If I recall the green was referred to as "Grindstein Green" after the BN president at the time.
Hey virtual Railfan, I just had one question it's pretty off topic but it's just something I was curious about. Whenever I see people controlling or moving the cameras how are they doing that? Is it through a private app or website, or is it something else? Just curious.
I guess I underestimated just how much of a mess the K&O can make when I said a few weeks ago that they need to file an environmental impact statement when they run their Old Smokey engine but this is ridiculous. Maybe the K&O is the Pig Pen Line??
@@frankrosenbaum3471 Yes it was coming from the top of the grain car pulled by one of the K&O diesels. But I don’t think it was Old Smokey on this run as Old Smokey smokes almost as bad as the hopper car leaked its material. I’ve watched coal trains nearly all my life & they don’t make this kind of mess. It seems to indicate a lack of attention to the equipment or cargo.

6:00 I was thinking the same thing every one of you was thinking (don't deny it, you know you were) when I first saw "do not hump." Knowing it did not mean that, I had to look it up and then it made perfect sense, but it is still funny to think of what part of the car a guy would hump. Probably some part of the coupler. LOL
You're fine, just keep asking questions! So many different types of railfans, some know every engine, some just like the colors or the years or the modifications or where they were built or the......?
@@327ErichI was watching that live, almost all of that sequence that provided context wasn't included. It was a rare crew change on the westbound track; usually when they do them they are coming eastbound.

Rip Klaatu, you won’t be forgotten
That was a excellent meet. love seeing the former B&M hopper cars.
Most spectacular ending ever!!😯
Stunning imagery and timing! Extremely cinematic!🏆
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!
Thank You. We been experimenting with an occasional "environmental/train/music 2-3 minute clip at the end of the Grab Bag, the reception has been positive.
I caught the meet at Hesperia live and couldn't believe how cinematic it was. Just wow!
Cinematic, great descriptive word for it! We are so fortunate to have that spot.
That song at the end! Sent chills up my spine! "Dessert Whispers" by Tellsonic is a great song!
1:52, Very nice caboose!
Nice meet in Hesperia between BNSF GE and UP EMD,nice lash up in Spartanburg, MOW equipment and SD40-2s meeting in Roanoke!🛤🚂

Didn’t expect to be in the grab bag last minute. I was in Elkhart with the rubber chicken lol that was fun.
Thst was very cool
Oh goody! Was that just for fun or is it an inside joke?
@@donnaj9964 I just did it for fun.
@@Eastmichiganfilms It was fun indeed! Thanks for the 411 and I'm glad you made in into the Grab Bag!
I thought of "Svengoolie" lol, when I was putting it together.
*Nice Catches 💚💜💖🌟❤❤🎉😊*
Happy Saturday🚂Friends👋🏻
I almost missed the night sky reflected in the water at Hesperia.
I like that lavender train car.
It was pink. "On Track for a Cure" refers to fighting breast cancer--and I love them for it!

Nice emd lash up!

Folks like to bring signs, train clothing, pets and rubber gag chickens (Svengoolie?), lol.
@@joepeach997 Thank you!
6:30 Patrick Henry: "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
Actually it's more like "give me on-site food and beverage promotions!" That's what they do.
@@donnaj9964 LOL.....thanks for the info.

@@kennethhanks6712 Wow! That is very different from the way it looks.
I can think of maybe 2 better meets than the one at 10:30, but they're both from the steam era!

I guess I underestimated just how much of a mess the K&O can make when I said a few weeks ago that they need to file an environmental impact statement when they run their Old Smokey engine but this is ridiculous. Maybe the K&O is the Pig Pen Line??
It looked to me that something was coming out of the hopper, not the engine.

It was grain spilled on the top of the hopper that was getting blown away

Oh ouch!!!
Wayne, you need some education
crew members can ride in the second locomotives???
They ride there when deadheading.
Aren't KCS Mexican units banned from running (it's on) in the US due to them not being emissions compliant?
Okay, I've rewatched the La Plata shot at 6:09 4 times now, and apparently I'm too imperceptive to know what I'm supposed to be looking at.
Santa Fe Bonnet lead, a great piece of US RR history.

The meetup at Hesperia is an interesting visual, but it doesn't have the same impact if the trains are on different tracks.
Second
Who cares
