    Our VRF Grab Bags (GB) videos are compiled from content from our cameras as Mods and fans spot something neat while watching our cameras. In the GB you will, of course, find a variety of TRAIN content, special trains, maintenance, steam, diesels, interesting rail cars, cool paint schemes and more. You will also find fun people, city events, boats, planes, cars (sometimes going wild) and nature. Thank you for taking the time to sit back and enjoy these highlight reels that we call "Grab Bags"!

    While the trains are fun, it's kind of relaxing watching the barges and boats go up and down the Mississippi.

    Lots of nice action in Chehalis, and the ballast-dumper was neat; it looked as if it was doing the same thing on the opposite side? The Deshler sunrise was gorgeous and I always love the music you pick, but this time the way that guitar came in just as the train arrived was a brilliant piece of editing. Bravi, guys!

    Excellent catches VR!! I was just shaking my head when that cyclist just darted in front of that train. I've been railfanning for over 30+ years & have seen a bunch of close calls like that. People like that person just dont understand what they put the train crews through. Also, like the catch of that old car you got

    Sorry I've been away for so long; greetings from the UK again! THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST YET; I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SEQUENCE FROM SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSSETTS, WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING! Just what Britain's railways were like back in the 1970s; locomotive-hauled passenger trains! Liked seeing the ship and old car at Fort Madison; liked seeing Fort Madison full stop! Liked it all! 😀😃😄😁😆😉😊

    • @kennethhanks6712
      @kennethhanks6712 14 днів тому +7

      "Total disrespect for the crew" refers to the psychological stress of the engine crew wondering if they are about to be the unwilling participants in the demise of an obviously uncaring individual who has no concern for his, or others, well being.
      If you have never been on a train crew in such situation imagine if you are automobile driving down the road and someone (especially of younger age) carelessly places themselves right in front of you and you have little chance of avoiding an accident and it is left up to luck/chance--not really pleasant to contemplate at all.

    • @Darkcow77
      @Darkcow77 14 днів тому +4

      Another thing to consider is what affects it could have to their careers. Not in the railroad business myself but I've read that if you're ever involved in an accident the company puts you under the microscope. Was the crew sleeping? On their phone or otherwise not paying attention? Under the influence?
      While the video would prove it was not their fault, all these extra headaches would be hard to deal with mentally.
