It was nice to see Skykomish and Laramie again; I've missed them both--and what a killer-bee car show in Fort Madison! Thank you for letting us see so many of the participants. Loved the thunder and the power moves (why do they always happen in Fort Madison?), the Via was beautiful the trash panda was cute, and that old Operation Lifesaver engine just blew me away. Another terrific grab bag--thank you!
Thanks VRF, for another good Grab Bag. Lots of good Trains to see + the Car Show and Custom Cars at Fort Madison. I had to check UP980350MW - it is a 'Vegetation Control Train', looks like a bit of a posh one.
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Heritage Units, vehicles at the Car Show in Fort Madison, Iowa, and so much more, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
0:08 new VIA Rail train up close and going slow on the Laramie cam 0:54 WOW! Virginian heritage unit and ex-CMQ unit doubleheading!

I belive stored units 9771 and 9741 are still in C&NW paint, but haven't moved in about four years. Those two are located near Grand Junction, Colorado or in eastern Utah 13:40 UP MOW train, which I believe is a weedkiller train. I believe the 2nd horn and bell are from the last car 15:13 ALC42 and P42 doubleheading the Cresecent with an extra baggage-dorm and a private car on the rear 15:32 unusual BNSF coil car.

Love the rotating vehicle table at 14:50 on the rear of the UP "herbicide express". The platform rotates and the ramp lowers so you can carry along a vehicle.
If Lineage and Cryo-Trans are gonna use small towns’ names for their rail cars, they need to include Slapout, Alabama and Bug Tussle, Texas. Texas? Then you must include Deepindaharta, Texas and Yelorosa, Texas 😉🙃
They need more power in Kansas City to head west as prior to there the heaviest grades are a 5 mile 1.1in Illinois called Edelstein hill and then 6 miles of .8 miles near Marceline MO the rest is pretty much flat.
per the network status page on the website it says " Roanoke, VA (RNK) Working on an internal network issue with the host at the location on the PTZ feed. Put cam back online and are still working on this issue." Hopefully we will have it resolved soon!
1:22 what railroad was on that NS loco? 7:12 you missed a ex-The Rock grain hopper! & I took a pic of that SAME one in 2015! How Do I know? Cogs Thot Monk is still on it! 13:13 those are former CNW units
Okay big question. I've seen twelve or more power units either by themselves or pulling a line of freight. Then I've seen maybe only one, two or three pulling the same line of freight. Why so many unless they are returning them back to a beginning destination.
A couple Chevy drivers made left turns the wrong way down the turning lane, too. Then a different driver (heading away from the camera) skipped that left turn lane and turned left from the through lane.

The exposed engine car is known as a T-bucket not to be annoying but just spreading some info
@@CSXrailfanAndNS You're not being annoying. More like 'helpful'.
@@joeylawn36111 thank you
what a fun Grab Bag!!! thanks for all your hard work Mr Peach!
The new paint scheme for via Rail looks similar to the C&O Railroad one
We'll tell Ralph you stopped by..................😁
Nice antique car compilation!
Ayyeeee I was the shark ladyyyy 🤭🦈
Lots good stuff this great bags car show and PV cars
lovely old cars
I like the '60 Pontiac the best in the car lineup!
so many cool cars, but my favorite was the '55 Chevy Belair.
8:42 Give me that beautiful car show footage!!
Glad that I got my CNW pictures back in the 90s 👍
Na man I got mine in that 2010s much better weathering
@@thedesigner00 I like them clean 👍
@@adamc1966 the few I saw that where clean where nice but to each there own
*Awesome Catches*
I almost got called on that UP passenger special, it had a pair of SD70Ms for power, very rare for road power these days
Could have stopped that train in Skykomish and checked those 737 fuselages for bolts on the plug doors!
07:31 When you hear the 'Crackle' before the 'Boom' you know the lightning strike was very close to you.
I enjoy all your videos real like the new paint on the first passenger
At 9:00 - c’mon gramps, light ‘em up! What are ya drivin’, a show boat?
Love the rotating vehicle table at 14:50 on the rear of the UP "herbicide express". The platform rotates and the ramp lowers so you can carry along a vehicle.
3:00 How does BNSF get any freight delivered with so many locomotives clogging the rails?
9:13 This car is really ok
Hummm🤔,
"Pick" "Key Largo" and "Crooked Lake "
Those cars must be going to Jimmy Buffet's place 😮😂😅.
@@Matts_Conrail_Chicago_Mainline
Most definitely... And a few margaritas With extra shakers of salt.
7:31 oh wow that static sound is frightening
Happens whena positive strike is extremely close
7:13 UP OCS at Night
Like the EMD 1069 VA HU Nathan K5LLA air horn, lots of good trains on this one!🛤🚂

Texas? Then you must include Deepindaharta, Texas and Yelorosa, Texas 😉🙃
Is it just me or does anyone else think BNSF does more power moves than any other class 1.
They need more power in Kansas City to head west as prior to there the heaviest grades are a 5 mile 1.1in Illinois called Edelstein hill and then 6 miles of .8 miles near Marceline MO the rest is pretty much flat.
Totally agree!😂😅
PTZ op: Wow, Virginian heritage unit!
NS 3987: what about me??
PTZ op: new phone, who dis?
Hope the Roanoke Railcam gets fixed soon
per the network status page on the website it says " Roanoke, VA (RNK) Working on an internal network issue with the host at the location on the PTZ feed. Put cam back online and are still working on this issue." Hopefully we will have it resolved soon!
What is the long greenish thing @ Laramie @0:25
1:22 what railroad was on that NS loco?
7:12 you missed a ex-The Rock grain hopper!
& I took a pic of that SAME one in 2015! How Do I know? Cogs Thot Monk is still on it!
13:13 those are former CNW units
1:22 ex Central Maine & Quebec Railway.
@@J3scribe well glad that line is defunct cause of their disaster
@@microbusss It is now owned by CPKC and is not defunct at all. They are currently building a bypass around Lac Megantic, in fact.
I saw 1069 with that gray and blue train with a third unit in Erie Pa last saturday
Okay big question. I've seen twelve or more power units either by themselves or pulling a line of freight. Then I've seen maybe only one, two or three pulling the same line of freight. Why so many unless they are returning them back to a beginning destination.
i saw6706 as well its my profiule picture
I just spotted 2816 in Deerfield
😄😄👍👍🦁
👍
What's the story about blocking out the water tower (or something else?) in Elkhart, IN?
VRF is blocking out the lights over the Amtrak platform in order to reduce the glare and make the trains easier to see, especially at night.
@@kevinbaker4241 Ah, thanks.
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Even people with those nice classic cars dont value them very much since they dont STOP at the stop sign.
A couple Chevy drivers made left turns the wrong way down the turning lane, too. Then a different driver (heading away from the camera) skipped that left turn lane and turned left from the through lane.

What happened to the curves you tube?
Chriskent helio 😅 ♥ ❤ 💖
If you continue naming these cryo cars, I'm through with V[R!
Steve, if one thing bothers you out of the countless other offerings, maybe the Grab Bag is not for you. Sorry to see you go.
At the porthole of the tunnel, looking into the Abyss of infinity, we say Goodbye 👋 ....
Enjoy your new birdwatching hobby 🐦😮😂😂😂 .
I like the easter egg names on the cryo cars.
@@richardbause2453 Hey, I'm a birdwatcher *and* a railfan lol!
What 😳😮, not a ladies watcher also🤔😊😊😂?
Clearly going by the hot rod show, we as a country have not taxed the boomers enough to pay for their under-funded entitlements.
CNW is not that rare
Trains, train fans and some classic automobiles.🇺🇲🚘🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲
👍This is an outstanding of videos. Everything I liked on this wow! This makes my day.
