I REALLY appreciated the New York Central car today of all days. My best friend who was killed a year ago today in an automobile accident had a room of nothing but NYC memorabilia, collected during the 30 years that his father worked on the New York Central. We spent many a day hanging out in that room and it is truly serendipitous that you started this video drop with that. Your videos are ALWAYS astounding and I love watching then every day. Thank you for all the effort that you put in to educate and amuse us every day!!
My condolences to you and your friend's family. I hope it brought you comfort. Maybe the Lord brought this to pass to bring you that comfort. The timing does make it seem like it.
One time, I went to the Old Thresher’s Reunion in Mount Pleasant, IA with my grandparents, and we were on the way back home when we stopped in Ottumwa, IA to see the Amtrak California Zephyr arrive and depart. On the rear end of the train were two private cars: Union Pacific “Pacific Home” and the C&O Blue Ridge! I was really happy to see these cars and my grandma and I chatted with the person in the Blue Ridge car! I am happy to see that the Blue Ridge is still going strong today!
It was nice to see the LORAM and the Rocky in Revy...I wonder if they ever mis-couple the Mountaineer so that the swooshes don't line up--and speaking of swooshes, the Golden Swoosh is always great. Watching the barge maneuvering through the bridge was a terrific example of different transportation modes co-existing. And then you gave us another fabulous ending with--as always--the perfect music. I can only imagine the hours and hours you spend finding it, but it's much appreciated!
4:33 Willamette and Pacific, was out of Portland Oregon. A former SP Southern Pacific engine. I hope it is to be fixed, I have always like the look of the GP9's
Some good catches tonight, thanks VRF. The vintage Passenger coaches at Elkhart (it's great the way you can run these in the USA, attached to a Service Train on the Mainline) The SGLR Boxcar at Burlington - another one to check-out and also, Willamette and Pacific Railroad SD9 1852. I hope she is not going to be Scrapped?
So who wins the "In Rust We Trust" award this week? The rather worse for wear Seminole & Gulf boxcar at 1:35, or the gnarly old Willamette & Pacific loco at 4:15?
The old SD9 wins it hands-down. It's been in service for around 70 years and has witnessed so many changes in the railroad industry, including the 1996 merger of its original owner SP with UP.

Question:9:52 4 engines in Hesperia, CA. How do we find out which engine is a TIER 3-4 TO BE IN CALIFORNICATE? No TIER 1 or 2 can be in the state, so it should be fair to the winds that ONLY TIER 3 AND 4 BE ALLOWED CORRECT? Oh yea, don't forget to turn the engine power down too! Tier 1came out for trucks in 2003. No difference in smog. Tier 2 came out in 2007. No difference in smog. Tier 3 came out in 2011. No difference in smog in Los Angeles. Tier 4 came out in 2015. No difference in smog. 2016 Tier 1 and 2 banned from Californicate. Any difference in the Los Angeles Smog? Ya'll keep up the GREAT VIDEOS!!!!!
It's pretty impressive how quickly a long loaded train can stop when emergency is thrown
Loved VRF Thanks 👍
A very interesting video of fallen flags and unusual cars. Thank You.
Very Awesome videos like the passenger train going across the water good shot Virtual Rainfan
Wow! Truly a packed Grab Bag! Almost everything in it! Just needed the Barcode Engine, a Steam Engine, and some lightning to make it complete!
23:00. A long distance meet AND a Darwin! Spot on!

The Rocky Mountaineer is such a cool passenger train! Would love to see that train someday!

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
Great video, footage, power and lash ups, nice shot of Amtrak dropping the CPL signal!🛤🚂
I happened to see Cascade locomotive 1400 when i was in Salem.
Nice catch of a rainbow
Nice Train Catches!
20:06 I never thought there would be a rare P5 horn on a BNSF. What a great, rare catch!
The emergency stop was interesting to see
What happened
@@MrTrapezoidthere was a five second label that said air leak, maybe that was it
I noticed there was another train already stopped at the same place. makes you wonder. both seemed to leave at the same time as well.
It was a trespasser incident.
Nice Catch.
4:43 I hope that cadillac finds a good home.

Anybody know where those beautiful old passenger coaches were going? It was a treat to see them!
Rail is the safest way to fly on aircraft these day. 😂
We're crashing and burning this joke like Boeing rn
Can see all of the missing pieces on the MAX with this camera view!
The airplane has to fly the rails before it flies the skies.
Maybe they should slow down the video at that point so we can do a final inspection of Spirits work.
9:08, What's wrong with CP 8910?
So who wins the "In Rust We Trust" award this week? The rather worse for wear Seminole & Gulf boxcar at 1:35, or the gnarly old Willamette & Pacific loco at 4:15?

Are the fuselages built in Wichita and shipped west for final assembly or vice versa??
From Illinois to Washington from what I remember.
awe, missed the Pac-Man sound when the kid turned the board around.

What is the purple haze? Looked like those plant growth LEDs that indoor grow ops use.
I guess the mow equipment working at Princeton Indiana is good enough for the grab bag!!!
What’s up with that CP tarped-cab unit?
CP8910 was the label on the engine.
@@jamesmckenzie3532 well what happened to him?
@@joshthetrainfan I have no idea. Just giving the loco number.
@@jamesmckenzie3532 ok
Roll coal!!!
Has anyone seen the new CPKC units yet
11:28 What happened to make the train stop for so long?
Are those EMD SD70ACU's at 17:06 ? Who are they being shipped to?
2:15 Thank y’all for letting me get on the grab bag even though it was TUESDAY
17:00 are those new ns units?
I think a good place y'all should see to put some cameras up should be in Hamlet North Carolina
