So sorry you guys have to see those trash semi-porno post at first. We try to take them down immediately. We been doing this for months and YT seems to do nothing about it. Well, enjoy the Grab Bag and a Big Thanks to all our loyal members and viewers. Take care and be safe.
Another great GB no that does not stand for Great Britain where I am at the mo (!most of the time in fact) another great collection found the Russellville sequence most amusing with that motley collection of car names "Island Ferry" "Katherine" "Please close and lock doors before moving cars" and the teddy bear! Liked the helicopter thought of the Thomas the Tank Engine story with Harold the helicopter was waiting for Percy the small engine to appear! 😀
A veritable cornucopia of 'Heritage Units: 'Southern', 'Penn Central', Western Pacific', 'The Katy', 'Reading', 'L&N' and probably a few that I missed. Thank you for a great 'Grab Bag'.

Thanks for all the Train catches tonight VR. I notice that the Pavements at La Grange are making some, progress. As well as the Loco Horn, the Shopfronts at Sweetwater made me think of Norman Rockwell's classic 'Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas'. The two Bears reminded me of the 'Banana Splits' TV show.
Hmm...That Flight Care helicopter that came in for a landing in Fort Madison, Iowa...I wonder if that was Ascension St. Mary's from here in Saginaw, though I doubt it would have the fuel to make that long a journey, especially across state lines for a MEDIVAC. I only ask as I recognize the fuselage and paintwork as I've seen mine before and it looked identical to that one.
Always fun to see the Katy and Operation Lifesaver, and I love the working model set-up in Decatur. But help, please: Why will hammering on an Elasto-Flo car contaminate the product? I looked up what products they make but am still mystified. Thanks in advance!
Interior of car has a polymer lining to help protect cargo while in transit and hammering on car side (to supposedly aid unloading process) could cause lining material to break/flake off contaminating the product and compromising the cars product protection.
@@kennethhanks6712 I unload plastic resin pellets from those cars and it's important that the product stays pure. CCBX is Union Carbide which is now Dow
The red glow is a laser sensor. These CSX inspection boxcar conversions will be blue painted clearly marked " Do Not Hump" and will be just behind the locos.

On another topic, thanks for the overlays explaining things and for leaving them on screen longer so we can read them fully.
@@bobcohen4008 Agreed! as some of us in this world are not exactly fast readers.
There is a check the box quiz at the end of the Grab Bag and high score wins a Cupidoll 😮😂
You guys do a fantastic job!
I report every one I see, for all the good it does.
The Revelstoke cams are always awesome, love the scenery😊

Those two bear costumes are a "win" at the end.

*Aweseome Catches*
anton jag älskar Bnsf
That truck looks like on purpose road rage
6:35 Would like to recognise the PC Heritage unit pushing the CONRAIL autorack...
Awesome.....love the bears!!!
When that truck went sideways; I think his aftermarket cast aluminum wheels couldn't handle the side loading and shattered.

@@kennethhanks6712 Thank you! I was pretty sure that one of you knowledgeable people would be able to help.
12:11 Appears as though Harold the Helicopter's cousin is flying in to watch the train.
I missed the boat on what that wacka wacka wacka sound is on some Canadian (mostly) train cars. Please tell. 🙂
That sound is from the video game PAC-MAN.
The logo looks like Pac-Man. The person who compiles these clips and adds sound effects has a great sense of humor
@@Toad-In-A-PuddleThanks, we all need to laugh more, we are so glad that many get the humor!
That accident looks like road rage, or something else boiling over. Or they were racing.
That had the looks of road rage.
That was almost like a NASCAR race
For the first ever time on this channel i’m actually watching it for the first time. First Time heck yes let’s go First
18:15...Revy The Bear dance off!
Those bears though…
1:52 Spider fear trigger warning for anyone who is terrified of them like I am.
0:55 I’ve always wondered what those gray boxes are covering up in every Elkhart video. Anyone know?
There are very bright lights behind them. Without them they wouldn't be able to get night videos.
@@troy.peters Thanks!
02:56 HA😂 FERROMEX
What about the BNSF smurf unit?
1:56 Then there's a SPIDER
Minute 1:48 The federal Railway Administration is ruled by Klingons from a parallel Universe...
I wish there were 2 grab bags. One that is strictly freight. And the other passenger, steam, random cars and people waving at the camera.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
12:59 Who was the important person in the helicopter?
Because the logo on the side of the chopper partially said “Care”, I’m assuming it’s a medical emergency flight.
Looks like a med evacuation
I think they were doing a training flight.
@@joepeach997 Good point - could be
It was a drill for a new company training their people, there were 2 helicopters, one went to hospital, 2nd landed in park
Interesting about the fire at the axle on that car @ 2:25 I wonder what happened after moving on.
Not a fire. That’s an automated inspection boxcar that CSX has been trialing. Think a Sperry car you can pull on any freight train.
The red glow is a laser sensor. These CSX inspection boxcar conversions will be blue painted clearly marked " Do Not Hump" and will be just behind the locos.
@@kennethhanks6712 Thanks, it fooled me.
8:48 Not what I meant By you will Sugar crash
of course its traffic in oklahoma city smh
Those guys forgot how to drive. could been a lot worse.
lol love the dancing bears
