I've always said that it was impossible to take a bad shot of Burlington Bridge, but that ending was heartstopping. Bravo Joe! I really enjoyed seeing the Lackawanna and Nickel Plate Road engines--and also the Mexican one honoring their personnel. Another great one!
You have outdone yourself, VRF! 3 Darwin awards, a military train, meets, and heritage units galore. BNSF and Ferromex in New York. A rare hi-nose GP38-2, undoubtedly of N&W heritage, and surprisingly no "mishaps" at the notorious crossings featured in other compilations. Great clips!
Thanks for adding our time in La Plata into the video! My grandparents were so happy to see us down there as we sent our middle child off to Philmont Scout Ranch. My grandpa watches your cameras religiously so thank you for that!
Finding an old Baltimore and Ohio gondola with "BO" call letters then showing the B&O heritage unit is a good idea. Also the Cumberland region looks so beautiful in the morning sunlight
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the UP/BNSF military train, Heritage Units, and so much more, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a nice day.
Great grab bag. I'm in Germany on vacation seeing a ton of freight and passenger trains. This hotel im staying at next to tracks must see a minimum of 180 freights in 24 hours.Then you throw in the high speed ICE trains and the regional trains and its crazy busy.

Very good choice. 😍I'm often in Fürth. In the past, when it was still possible to drive through from home without changing trains, almost every Sunday. I can confirm that, although there are days where comparatively little is going on. I hope you enjoyed it with us in Franconia and visit us again soon.
Anyone else notice the guy at the park while the NP unit goes by? Pumping his fist to get the engineer to honk, then raises his arms in frustration for not getting a reaction. Little does he know that those blasted DPU engineers are known for being anti-social...
This morning (7/7) on the Flagstaff cam at 7:59am MST is one awesome consist that is worthy of the next grab bag. In order, an H3 leader, H2, H1 and a Warbonnet. A history lesson in BNSF paint schemes.
By the extra honks and the young people's reaction, it looks/sounds like the engineer in Wichita may have had a few words to shout to them out the window.
Are the Cumberland sirens at 4:41 a test, or was there a real incident? Most municipalities test their sirens on a weekday, not Saturday. Around here (northern IL), it's 10 am on the first Tuesday of every month.
As a child, I lived in Middletown Maryland and the volunteer fire department did their testing of the siren at noon on Saturdays. And a special blast on New Years.
I did some googling as I was curious myself. Seems like it was likely an actual fire or EMS call, as Cumberland MD apparently still uses it to signal emergencies to the VFD as the hilly terrain in the area makes radio signals (pagers, radios, etc) somewhat problematic and unreliable.
1:05 Train load of Combat Engineering vehicles, very cool! We carted a bunch of Army National Guard vehicles back from the Caribbean in the amphibious assault ship I was serving in. Those guys had professional restaurant chefs on the team, bumped the quality of our chow up by about 1000%. After we dropped them off in North Carolina our chow quality dropped back to way below Waffle House quality. 😁
Train crew in Wichita had to be like, "Dispatch, we need security teams & Wichita PD officers to the Railroad Heritage Museum, please? We have a bunch of Darwins sitting on the tracks."
It’s only a matter of time before we see a sad incident on a camera 😢. TikTokers trying for likes and views. Been some very near misses here in the UK.
Had an Individual in Kirkwood (St. Louis) MO, get Hit by a Union Pacific (UP) train a few nights ago and that person was Laying next to the tracks and was Not Killed🤔🙏
The person who was sitting on the tracks must be slow because of how long it took for her to get off the tracks as she sees the light of the train coming towards her.
@@littlebitofhope1489 no idea honestly I don’t live anywhere near here, I’m assuming it’s a volunteer fire department call siren tho, Deshler Ohio has one that sound like this one, goes off for calls and every day @ noon EST if you watch the deshler railcam at that time you’ll hear it

What do, or did you play? And why did you stop? I was just curious. Have a blessed day, everyone 🖖👽

@railseast ok fair enough 👌 I've been wanting to take up the guitar 🎸 take lessons, how many hours a day did you practice?
@@DavidUrban-y3c A couple of hours a day is sufficient to begin, it all depends on your school/work/family obligations.

y'all do get some wonderful sunset pictures. keep up the goof work!
Beautiful ending VRF. Yes..some things do come easy...those that are closest to one's ❤heart. 👍👌

A lot of early morning just after sunrise grabs throughout, capoed with a gorgeous sunrise
Beautiful view of freight trains at Cajon Pass and of Amtrak at Paradise.
What a wonderful finale 👏👏👏
Big fan of the channel love the trains passing by the camera
I'm glad I subscribed to this channel! God bless you.
That sunrise was stunning! Perfect music to go with. Thank you !
The crow exploring the camera was a little adorable.

Awesomely beautiful ending!👍
Great Grab Bag Thanks VRF
100% cool finish. great catches.
New Pennsylvania going by old Pennsylvania. Cool!
I loved that too!

Awesome Amtrak train. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇸🇺🇸
Pennsylvania at Horseshoe Curve ❤👍
Right were she belongs. They should keep her in that area.
Lovely catches. That NKP unit looks gorgeous.
..... as does the Pennsylvania unit.
A couple of those gondolas have been kicking around a while. New York Central, B&O
LOL, the guy signaling for a horn to the DPU at Horseshoe Curve. Even this old lady knows it is probably on remote control.
Nice as always,,,
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks & Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Love train it’s awesome and amazing 🚂🚂🚂
*Awesome Catches*
Those NS heritage units were pretty cool
If those gondolas could talk, imagine the stories they can tell of their travels......
4:40. Wanted to see the fire siren and hear it windown to silence. 8:00 Switch appears misaligned. Wondeful sunset. Swipped through it.

I'm sure there was a time when the same could be said about you.
Don't worry, Bradley. I appreciated your irony
I've noticed the same thing about those rotten, mean spirited ignorant DPU engineers. It's as if they aren't even there!

That should be an emergency response. Most VF units now only blast once.

8:58 GPS train dumpin ballast they are pretty cool
those gondolas have seen better days but that siren in the background hurt my ears😭😭

Yup, if those Gons could talk - NYC, BO, etc. - what a story they could tell - 5:15!
It’s only a matter of time before we see a sad incident on a camera 😢. TikTokers trying for likes and views. Been some very near misses here in the UK.
Then they will try and sue the railroad companies for some bs reason

4:41 Sounds like a 16/16 port Sterling in the background.
Sure does!
Those Darwin's saw the train in plenty of time...still not good to do...looked like him and his friends were partying.
18:48 Got my Iowa grain car, right there! 🤣
No doubt the tenants (at least the railfans) at the Spaghetti Works apartments appreciated the train horns at 5:-00 a.m.
I believe the kiddos on the rail need a bit of an attitude adjustment.
I believe the correct term is "useless breathers", not kiddos.
@@AtlasShrugged123 lol, true
Wonder what type of Tornado Siren at 4:40?
We really need rain badly in Pennsylvania 😢
LIFE TIME OF VANDALISM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:44 for thumbnail
The person who was sitting on the tracks must be slow because of how long it took for her to get off the tracks as she sees the light of the train coming towards her.
Probably dealing with a "pharmaceutically altered reality"...
Say, was that sun rise, or sun set !?
Time was 5:15, so sunrise. Sunset would display as 17:15.
You could tell it was sunrise because the river was flowing left to right
Why is the green locomotive at 2:27 displaying two different numbers?
One train takes them out the other takes it back in
What was that siren???
Sterling Model M, it’s the 16/16 port variant
@@MonkeyFilmProductions Thank you. That's an old Civil Defense Siren. What do they use it for at that location?
@@littlebitofhope1489 no idea honestly I don’t live anywhere near here, I’m assuming it’s a volunteer fire department call siren tho, Deshler Ohio has one that sound like this one, goes off for calls and every day @ noon EST if you watch the deshler railcam at that time you’ll hear it
@@MonkeyFilmProductions Ah, thanks. I thought maybe it was a tornado warning, but I have never heard one, so I have no idea.
Five well worn gondolas. Has anyone ever spotted a new gondola?
11:04 Is this oRangi Town Karachi Pakistan?
Anyone know what the sirens were? A test or something serious?
Probably a true emergency response. Most VF places now only run one cycle for testing.
Hi
UP 1989 🙂👍
Military equipment Headed to the summer war games
pls excuse the dumb question...what is PTZ? thx
pan/tilt/zoom
It's a type of camera. It can Pan back and forth, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out.
11:05 I don't understand why you would sit on the tracks. Of all the dumbest things you can do, why would you put yourself in that position?
At 5 AM on top of that...
Primo
2nd
If that was a girl sitting on the tracks. I couldn’t see if she flashed the crew ?
One of each. No flashing..
Awesome train action on Virtual Railfan Grab Bag and it
doesn't get much more better than this.🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲
