I have a Chessie t-shirt, and when I had to have surgery a few weeks ago, my husband bought me a copy of the CHessie storybook to cheer me up in the hospital. What a sweet, wholesome little story! My dad was a big railfan, and he'd have loved to see that book. But I'm 74 years old, and my dad is relaxing in that great caboose in the sky.
My two interests: Waterfowl and trains. That goose was really trying to fight the train quite hard, these Canada Geese are quite aggressive so bs careful with any type of geese people!
That goose reminds me of one of our former roosters who tried to challenge our car. Car was coming around the driveway, rooster was standing there, not willing to budge. Until the moment the car tapped the rooster, that rooster just stood there, after it got lightly tapped, it made a shocked noise and wandered off in search of something easier to stand up to! If one goose had stopped to challenge the train, it would have quickly found out that tons of steel beat anything that goose has!
4 tracks at the crossing, and, for the driver of the car, a blind curve to his right, and he thought that the Amtrak was the only train? Luckily for him, it was. With that kind of thinking, he's sure to formalize his Darwin award application sooner or later.
13:55 An invisible ghost engine blowing its horn. Which in reality was another train honking while the “ghost train” is only backing up. Gotta love the timing of that meet up at the crossing.
A lot of good stuff, but haven't seen unloading of rail ties like you see at 17:21 before AND with a thru-train rocketing in the background! AND now I know what those yellow ramps are for that I have noticed on work trains. Wow!
Hi. I really enjoy watching the Grab Bag videos. For this one, I'm surprised you didn't pause the video to highlight the customized box car on the work train at 8:34. Its slider door has been replaced with a panel containing a man door and what appears to be a rollup door. I wonder what the other side looks like?
I caught the CPL aspect change @ 1:04 om Deshel. And the Rochelle diamond was sneaky good at 7:22 with that Green dropping to red. Ft. Worth showed some color at 12:10 with a flashing green turning into a solid red. Thank you.
She actually does have the traditional stacks that classic steamboats always have, but nowadays, they have to lower them to get under bridges. There is a bridge just ahead of her in the shot so the stacks are down for the bridge. If you look closely at the closeup of her, you can see the stacks laid down and pointing straight ahead. I've watched them lower them on the Mississippi Queen at Hannibal, MO before. It's impressive.
Seeing Chessie System old markings is rare!, What few are taged up or super faded & tagged It would be nice to see a new paint on a boxcar, maybe even a locomotive !
I thought some locos were being sold to leasing companies & the Class 1 railroad selling them will 'x out' their own reporting mark,with the leasing company putting their own reporting mark.
In fact,some locos can be seen to have a black patch painted on the side,on the access panels,with the leasing companies 4 character reporting mark stencilled on top.
Question from the UK , hi all , I love your railroads but can someone answer me this " when you have several engines pulling a train how come they sometimes are not all from the same company . How to these individual units get paid , and who by . " Thank you , hope one of your can give me the answer .
Is there any particular significance to the sound effect you sometimes add? For instance, at about 13:35 you insert a sound effect while focusing on CP Rail SD40-2 no. 6068. Why is that? Thanks!
That particular train engine is pretty much nicknamed the Pac-Man engine because that C cymbal on the end looks like Pac-Man. So naturally you can’t help but get the Pac-Man arcade sound in your head when you see one go by.
Don't mess with a Canada Goose! Our local university has to have a warning system in the Spring so students don't get attacked. It doesn't surprise me that one would challenge a locomotive.
In the late 90s I took the Lake Shore Limited from Chicago to Framingham, MA and another trip to Rochester, NY. In Albany the train is split, and one half goes to New York and the other goes to Boston.
To be fair if the train is stopped in the block, the gates should be up. When the train is ready to depart then the gates come down. I never go around, but I have waited for more than 15 minutes while a train just sits adjacent to the crossing.Some times "railroads" are omnipotent and arrogant. Our tracks our rules!
That 4 tube mobile launcher system isn't anything like I've ever seen in the US inventory. Maybe being rebuilt for a foreign country? Same for the accompanying radar system behind it.
Well we start this reel for me with a optical illusion in Ohio more than once too on this reel. Dizzying to Vertigo for me! Wichita Boeing is moving unfinished fuselage forms...Where to? Portland? PA has lovely sky's anytime of the day.. The American Duchess is a rather large barge bottomed riverboat...does she have a paddle wheel? Victorian/Queen Anne styling promenade decks both are different. A historic flashback with the Fort in the forefront ...river and then boat. Don't hit the honkers ..but who's doing the honking? I see those shrouded in secrecy build your own engines. UP and CN are still running a duo intracontinental team! CIT decided last minute to run off with NP... Nice daylight close up with the night time glow worm team! Lots of intricacies! The sci-fi crew team. A mini-convoy at the jct with intracontinental engines..BNSF & FERROMEX. CSX NP & CANDIAN PACIFIC are running together As well As NP Canadian pacific and is it CP rail? UP is running its special liner.. A larger Convoy. Bnsf I feel had a special made wild wild west train... Conrail leading the way with NP... Neat Rail prep team construction. I saw china's recent wow not necessarily better bigger for sure both in man power and machine! A tanks vantage point veiwing in ? BNSF good optical visual vertigo two way. The best hello was a palm wave from a BNSF engineer in ? Last but not least the train with its construction team running thru La Grange with all its amphibious trucks and machinery. Thanks
At Greencastle the potential killer load. Wide steel plate on flat bed. Can cut through cars like a hot knife through butter. Just an observation, self propeled artilary have there rearmermant vehicle and supply and maintenance vehicles in the same train. Main battle tanks run without any support with them.
I don't know which appears more frequently - BNSF locomotives or trains of heavy Army equipment (tanks, artillery, transport vehicles, Humvees &c) moving about the countryside!
They are not real; they are target mockups of actual Russian units that will be shot at. No wheels on "launcher" (but wheels underneath if you look closely) and no treads on "radar" unit.
I have a Chessie t-shirt, and when I had to have surgery a few weeks ago, my husband bought me a copy of the CHessie storybook to cheer me up in the hospital. What a sweet, wholesome little story!

Hope your recovery goes well. Never knew there was a Chessie storybook
I always find it amusing to see Canadian Pacific and Ferromex engines and cars mixed in a train.
At 6:00, no geese were hurt in the making of this grab bag.
Too bad.
Darwin candidates🙃

Goose just wanted to show who had the better honker.
@@jujubee463 Sprayed my monitor laughing! Nice one.
@@jujubee463 LOL...that's good!
Geese can be um. . . jerks is the polite term, I think. Glad none got run over!
That riverboat was fantastic. Also enjoyed the geese...all in all, another great Grab Bag! Thank you for posting and sharing!
If youre going to go around the gates, at the very least, dont stop on the tracks and contemplate it 🤦♂️
4 tracks at the crossing, and, for the driver of the car, a blind curve to his right, and he thought that the Amtrak was the only train? Luckily for him, it was. With that kind of thinking, he's sure to formalize his Darwin award application sooner or later.
UP's new paint scheme looks like a combination of their 2 previous ones.
You have some really awesome grab bags
13:55 An invisible ghost engine blowing its horn. Which in reality was another train honking while the “ghost train” is only backing up. Gotta love the timing of that meet up at the crossing.
Those Centerbeam Flat Cars at 11:59 are still on the ground from that derailment at Fort Worth?
New UP look is pretty nice! Love the flag on the nose!
A clean locomotive is a new look for the UP!
That newly-painted UP locomotive looks like something UP would do from the 1980's.
A lot of good stuff, but haven't seen unloading of rail ties like you see at 17:21 before AND with a thru-train rocketing in the background! AND now I know what those yellow ramps are for that I have noticed on work trains. Wow!
Lotta transformers on tjhe move This heat isreally putting a tremendous strain on our power grid!!
Those "cobra chickens" are ruthless. Nothing scares them.
That forign power in India or asia with traction sand pukeing out a hose not even functionally right!!
Another triple meet. That Fort Madison is one busy place. Thanks.
Wow a goose which stopped a BNSF train?! That’s crazy
Silly goose.
Darwin Candidate...
That was one beautiful Conrail Engine
That motorist at 2:50 couldn't wait another minute for Amtrak to finish their work at Elkhart SMH.
I have been accosted by a Canada Goose before so I was cheering for the train.

The designers might have tried to make the American Duchess look like a classic steamboat but it just looks like a floating motel!
She actually does have the traditional stacks that classic steamboats always have, but nowadays, they have to lower them to get under bridges. There is a bridge just ahead of her in the shot so the stacks are down for the bridge. If you look closely at the closeup of her, you can see the stacks laid down and pointing straight ahead. I've watched them lower them on the Mississippi Queen at Hannibal, MO before. It's impressive.
@@louGriggs1944 Stacks up does help a little and at least an effort was made for "the look" but I guess I'm too much a traditionalist!
Look up "The Truth About Paddlewheels." Since I'm a train and Twain fan, it's a natural for me.
8:05 - That must be some heavy heavy duty steel!
Seeing Chessie System old markings is rare!, What few are taged up or super faded & tagged
It would be nice to see a new paint
on a boxcar, maybe even a locomotive !
I guess that 737 fuselage in Skykomish is “Return to Sender”
See the old Conrail take back to when me and my dad would go sit at train yard in Rochester NY
Looks like Lorams power has issue or its being refuled and returned to
its where was picked up
Did the pickup truck in Parkville Mo. get trespassed off the RR property?
This has to be my most favorite video from vurtual railfan
Hey, just wondering if there is a possibility to watch the full train passing by present at 14 35
What’s the situation with the occasional BNSF locos that have black x’s on them?
@@T_Hoog ok thanks
I thought some locos were being sold to leasing companies & the Class 1 railroad selling them will 'x out' their own reporting mark,with the leasing company putting their own reporting mark.

Another great Grab Bag video VRF .
12:45. Why is that 737 fuselage going East?
what were those on the NS train at 6:40? locomotive bodies?
8:00 is that a LP BNSF? When did they start testing those?
Engines are facing the wrong way. Would be back to back to the tank, FEC is running them in Florida...
Silly question.. the road/rail trucks.. do you steer or just accelerate when on the railway lines ?
What were those military vehicles? I've seen them in several vids. The two green ones that is.
Wrapped fushelage for the rest of the build Not shure where that might be!, Unusual. Thinking it would be from stem to stern in one facility?
In the late 90s I took the Lake Shore Limited from Chicago to Framingham, MA and another trip to Rochester, NY. In Albany the train is split, and one half goes to New York and the other goes to Boston.
6:34 what those locomotives for?

I never go around, but I have waited for more than 15 minutes while a train just sits adjacent to the crossing.Some times "railroads" are omnipotent and arrogant. Our tracks our rules!
Why do i always hear a car alarm going off on some of these things as they go rolling down the tracks.
Can this be explained why this is.
see tracks think train,👍👍
Fantastic grab bag
Why is there a Russian S-400 on a train in Missouri at 14:23?
Bro I was asking the same thing
What ya reckon those were @ 14:25?
that was a very long Amtrak train
When did amtrak start using DPUs?
AMtrak with distributed power?
and what was up with the two amtraks lashed up together?
2:11 DPU ?
19:28 Rail hopper?
Birds, planes (mostly) and a lot of cool trains. This is pretty much a perfect Grab Bag! Almost forgot the riverboat, too.
Cool! SD75’s 😃11:32
That mobile rocket launcher going to the Eucrane?
Great grab bag as always mike!
9:42 Ohh, it's a leaker momma!
I was not expecting that here.
There's a video of some farm guy who uses geese as watchdogs on his farm. They will chase away most human invaders, and coyotes are afraid of them
Also have been used as goose guards at distilleries both in Scotland and Kentucky. Why not assign them to container protection in Long Beach?
Nice 😊
Muito bom 👍👍👍
That 4 tube mobile launcher system isn't anything like I've ever seen in the US inventory. Maybe being rebuilt for a foreign country? Same for the accompanying radar system behind it.

yes, she does have a paddle wheel and it is functional

Thats a real clean Conrail unit!,My former employee
3:00 Amtrak
wait for it
Wait for it
NOW
cool emd export locomotives
I guess Caterpillar has the Lions share of new power builds and re builds
There went some EMDSD40 Vintage GOOD power!!
Amazing people value their life so little to go around crossing gates
Awesome Video

I don't know which appears more frequently - BNSF locomotives or trains of heavy Army equipment (tanks, artillery, transport vehicles, Humvees &c) moving about the countryside!
I see they still haven't fixed the farmer's market at Parkville
Typical Canada Goose. Nasty birds! Yes I am Canadian, that is how I know.
Nasty's a bit of an overstatement.
(Train conductor track track) (train engineers goose?)
Very droll
9:17 loram rail grinder Califórnia los Angeles
I’d go as far as saying “goose takes no bs from BSNF!”
Nice vid
BNSF going to liquified natural gas locomotives????
1:43 nice!
That's the Russian S-300 air defense system on the flat car at 11:09 and 14:24.
What’s it doing on a train in America???
Judging from the fact that it rests on a simple 2-axle trailer, my guess is that it's not much more than a cardboard prop.
I see Amtrak 45 broke down once again like it did on the Cardinal two weeks ago.....
Crane passing out free sticks (ties) jk. thats a first to see on here.
What is the missile hauler and radar unit on the flat car? Thought I knew most of them but apparently not!
maybe captured Russian equipment going to be studied maybe.
They are not real; they are target mockups of actual Russian units that will be shot at. No wheels on "launcher" (but wheels underneath if you look closely) and no treads on "radar" unit.
@@mjsdean Okay. You may be right.

Aren’t those Russian missile systems?
I cannot believe how people take their lives so for not.
