Another awesome Grab Bag. Really cool machine at Horseshoe Curve. Those Darwins make me scream at my TV every single time, and it's usually something I can't put as a comment. Spooky shadow.
12:33 What beautiful scenery, and such an awesome message from this young lady thanking VF for making her late daddy happy. May he rest in peace ♥ VF, your response to this was wonderful. You are the best 👍
My late Aunt and Uncle had a huge 2 door Air Stream when I was a kid. The would be floored at thier cost both new and used. Those aircraft inspired campers are BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL
To quote an old Hot Rod magazine,with those cars in La Grange,you seeing,"CHOPPED AND CHANNELED MODEL A'S AND MODEL T'S",NICE WORK,AND DESERVES RECOGNITION!! THANK YOU 😇 😊!!
La grange is always a challenge for the train engineers. Loved the old steam train looked befitting to show it in black and white! And all of the Darwin candidates amazing. Recently saw one my area who left his car in the low tidal area here in Coastal south Carolina I guess he didn't know the tide comes in twice a day! And flooded over the roof line with a lot of onlookers. Who buys a brand new $50k Camaro with only basic liability 👺 he was only 20 I think his name was Darwin! Ahh yes to be two thirds younger again 😅
C.P. should really put a pedestrian overpass at that crossing in Revy. They sometimes block it for up to two hours. We all know there is an overpass about a kilometre away but that is then a 2 K walk. Saskatchewan is taxing railroad property frontage at normal business tax rates I believe. If B.C. did that it would help fund railway related issues as well.
I was hoping that i would see a Grab Bag without any Darwin Candidates on it oh well but there are a lot of great trains as usual here and i'm watching for the trains.😁 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲🇨🇦💨
9:40 we not gonna talk about how quick that came to a stop... the emergency brake works amazing but it's a pain to get back going again from what I understand
Thank you. That was me. When I found out that I was going to be geocaching near Skykomish this summer I planned a detour just for this. My dad would have loved this place. Also, thanks for editing out the part where the wind blew away my sign and I had to chase it 😅
@@kathrynd5158The editing was no problem, the wind seems to have an attraction to signs, lol! There was no one on the camera until you were walking to the car, so I digitally zoomed in while editing. It’s never as good as a camera zoom, sorry. I also wish your Dad could have visited Skykomish, it’s so beautiful there. Take care and maybe we will see you at another camera location.
Great to see not just one, but two SD70 MACS in Executive livery at Fort Madison, thank you. At Chehalis, the first D/C had to straighten his Jacket after climbing down from the Train - how annoying that must have been for him.
13:47 Interesting how 8014 has a cab-mounted Mechanical Bell, yet it still uses an underside-mounted Ekyrail E-Bell. 16:13 Trinity Railway Express 1002 finally on its way home after being rebuilt to return to service after having been gone for over 2 years. We've been waiting on it for quite a while, so great to finally see it again.

Someone sneaks between those cars and past the conductor. 11:08 Take back what I said last time, this is the dumbest Darwin VRF has caught so far!

And like watching trains the person that went under that train in Canada that was really crazy he's lucky he got on the other side before the Train move
Probably because the trains sit over crossings for hours without moving so people learn to hop them with ease. Maybe railroads should stop sitting on crossings to prevent this behavior.
The L&N heritage was nice til I seen the nose.if you are going to do a heritage unit the do it the way it suppose to be full heritage paint scheme I mean geez
I was watching that train when the guy went underneath. It was stopped for a while and then almost the second the guy got to the other side it started to roll again. Close call.
Two silly things what is the stopping distance on the street runner at that speed with the white car and I'm in Milwaukee it seems that with the buy out of small railroads etc that we are seeing more historical/ special engines and cars being moved around
The Darwin in Canada was the worst one yet. 👎. I better send the La Grange Chief Engineer some more excedrin. It may come handy. Extra strength should do the trick. 💊.
Once again these “Darwin awards” are absolutely nowhere near an actual incident. Maybe if the trains didn’t sit on crossings for hours people wouldn’t be so inclined to hop them. Still waiting for an actual example of a close call with someone hopping over a train.

16:31, CSX 1850, The L&N unit! Now that's cool!
17:52 Nice catch of those ballast hoppers dispensing the ballast along the right of way.
Nice show of Ferromex, KCS with a SpongeBob and the Rocky 🤩 thanks VR

A PanAm Box Car! Haven't seen one of those since the 80's. I'm amazed! TY VR!
We love all the fallen flags, every time we get a new location we wonder what the yards are hoarding, lol.
Have you to West terre haute Indiana lots of traffic transportation and lots of trains 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂 from Indiana love your videos terry
Nice touch with the editing as usual; thank you for the attention to detail.
6:26 Talk about perfect timing with that Amtrak train passing by those empty centerbeam flat cars.
Love the grab bags man
We love our viewers too!
To quote an old Hot Rod magazine,with those cars in La Grange,you seeing,"CHOPPED AND CHANNELED MODEL A'S AND MODEL T'S",NICE WORK,AND DESERVES RECOGNITION!! THANK YOU 😇 😊!!
Brings back my pre-teen car modeling, buy an AMT kit, and build something a bit different.
Thank you NS for clearing the foliage at Horseshoe curve and giving us all a better view!
Those birds scattered every which way when that C-17 flew over! Probably thought it was the biggest Eagle they'd ever seen!😮😂😂
Years ago we caught a plane shadow on the road to the right on the East camera. A much smaller plane but it was cool too!
A "Grab Bag" with a surprise at the end, neat ! 😁👌👍 A+++
Love your grab bags
I am never surprised by what people do. the L&N heritage unit is wow..
one of these days....
Thanks Virtual Railfan for all the excellent Grab Bag editions, Have a blessed weekend.
Just noticed I'm on the grab bag, thanks again John!

13:21 I like how Rocky Mountaineer drop off passengers like VR said and then re turns back at 13:51 that an logic
Very nice😮 Thanks 😊
Brush cutter clearing brush was cool and nice lash up at Horseshoe Curve, lots of power and older rhode names!🛤🚂
How much did you have to pay NS V/R to clear that tree line so we could see the trains better? Thank you!
C.P. should really put a pedestrian overpass at that crossing in Revy. They sometimes block it for up to two hours.

I'm glad CSX didn't give those La Grangers the horn of death.
nice job y'all!! thanks so much for doing the Grab Bags - I really enjoy them! God bless :)

1002 will be home in a day or so! Will be interesting to see it run!
That C-17 will have been SUPER LOW for the shadow to be that big.
Should have heard the audio from the other cam, heard C-17 a long way off, played it back several times, um, loud 😊😊
It had just taken off from Charles B. Wheeler airport, just across the river from Doc's Caboose.
Since the sun is 93 million miles away, the shadow is the same size as the aircraft no matter what height it's flying at.
The shadow would be the same size no matter what altitude it is at, but the shadow will be clearer the closer to the ground the object is.
Vídeos espetaculares, sensacional, parabéns amigo por essa captura muito linda, like garantido, saudações do Brazil 🇧🇷
Bem-vindo, obrigado!
At 18:25 Desi & Lucy meet Mr Haney in LaGrange and both were driving properly as opposed to the flustered 5 when the train was coming
I thought it was Fred without Ethel. Mr. Haney is still looking for all of the curves at the junction.
Seems like everything is from Skykomish or Fort Madison or OKC on all the recent grab bags.
They're a special breed in KY, playing chicken
with actual trains.
That Beautiful in 19:20 😍😍
There needs to be a boxcar with the VR logo and information traveling the country.
Maybe we should start a sponsorship deal - I'm sure thay could work!
Illegal. Can't advertise on rolling stock. Cyr doesn't need any more money anyways, he takes you fools to the bank as it is.

And like watching trains the person that went under that train in Canada that was really crazy he's lucky he got on the other side before the Train move
11:06 plenty of time to go under
I have never seen a freight train take off like a rocket anyway
Amtrak with those yellow containers? Where are the seats for people? No windows? Is this 4th class passenger transport? ha ha
The bottoms open so the load just slides out at the station. Darwin express... heavy on the "press"...
Praise GOD!
CSX got the L & N unit right!
'Cept for the cab. CSX, do better. Get the WHOLE locomotive done up on the heritage units.
Lord, these Darwin’s never learn
They will, but only the hard way.
@@JohnPingley-op6mqI was thinking the same thing
Makes me wanna go... AAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!

Is there a change in emissions laws coming? Lot of EMD MACs in dead lines......

What’s going on with the KCS units at WayCross Georgia ? 8:11
The Paradise, PA, ROW at 0:35 is Amtrak property?
The ex-Pennsy main Harrisburg to Philly is Amtrak trackage just like NE Corridor.
Does a Northeast Regional Amtrak train go through Springfield, MA between Boston and New Haven, CT?
could you add a camera in salem or
Playing chicken with a train is not a smart move at all.
