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"!
GOD Bless our Active and Retired Military Personnel. We Appreciate your Service to our Country. Thank you! 🇺🇸👍🙏
At 1:00 that was great seeing those young railfan's congradulating each other for the F unit catch!! Probably railfans for life!!
I'm honoring all of our patriots that served and those that died for this country. Including my late father that served in WWII as a Combat Veteran with the US Army Air Force in the South Pacific Campaign.
That was quite a catch. I wonder how many know that was an EMD FL9A diesel fuel and electric engine. New Haven had these then they went to a commuter line.
Good old La Grange never disappoints. lol
I am guessing that it is tourists who get "caught" trying to park in sight of an on-coming train? Surely the locals are familiar with the challenges of parking there. I can imagine students taking drivers' Ed courses and being taught the pitfalls of that location! It is entertaining though, so long as nobody gets hurt ... I am trusting that such a calamity would never be shown on a railfan video.
Thank you for Honoring the Military on Memorial Day by showing a long Military train, that was really Special. Thank you so much for all the veterans who served and those who are still serving today. God Bless you, Virtual Railfan.

The covered wagons, the geeps and SD’s , steam engines, love great catches
0:08 CSX 911 leading
0:30 WEBX 2024 is an FL9. They were built for New Haven in 1959 to run on 3rd rail electricity into New York City and diesel power everywhere else. They continued to work for Amtrak and Metro-North until the 1990s with P32AC-DMs took over
1:40 NS 9722 moving alone, returns at 4:34 pulling Amtrak into the platform
2:50 6-unit lash-up including UP 1989
5:32 Amtrak 130 pulling the Pennsylvanian
6:20 CSX YN2 doubleheader
6:36 steam loco Southern 630 at the TVRM
7:54 Conrail and chessie boxcars
8:24 Galveston Wharves boxcars
9:10 Rhomberg Sersa MOW equipment
9:18 this FPA4 and FB4 are going to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenie Railroad. These were the main diesel power on the Grand Canyon Railroad until 2008 when the first of now eight F40PHs owned by the GCRY entered service. Judging by green paint, these two have not run since 2012. There are still five other ALCOs let on Grand Canyon Railroad property
10:26 more shenanigans in La Grange. They should remove the parking spots on that side of the tracks. A gold AMC Gremlin also passes by
11:41 tow Trashtainer trains racing each other
12:32 All NS power in Chehalis
14:28 ALC42s 340 and 303 on the coast Starlight
15:11 the Grio Grande Zephyr on the CRRM layout. Rio Grande continued to run the California Zephyr themselves between Denver and Salt Lake City from 1971 to 1983. Amtrak's San Francisco Zephyr ran via Cheyenne over Sherman Hill during that time. two of the locomotives and the combine car can be seen at the colorado Railroad Museum in Golden
16:43 Franken-GEVO with an inspection train
17:12 this person went the wrong way around the island and the raising gates!
17:30 five dash 9s sold to GECX, one is re-numbered 1869
Virtual Railfan, Wow, this made my day brighter! Thank you!
That's what its all about! The joy of railfanning with your buddies. Sharing the fun. Rock on Fairport Fellas!
Thanks JP and crew. Keep up the trains.
Nice tribute!
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and happy late-Memorial Day.
I really enjoyed the lightning at Chattanooga and all of the to-ings and fro-ings at Chehalis, but I could tell that you put your whole heart into the tribute at the end, because it caught me by my heart and wouldn't let go. I hope you had a blessed Memorial Day. Thank you. 🌹
Ever notice how many model railroaders run their trains so fast that in-scale it would be twice as fast a real train?
The clip was played at 3X.
May have something to do with the fact that they actually invest in the infrastructure.
The concept of scale speed is beyond some modelers.
thats mostly O scalers😜 "Lionel speed is GO!"
It'd be really boring to run them at scale.
Beautiful finish. Nice touch. Thank you.
*Awesome Catches*
Thoughtful closing. Much appreciated.
Honorable ending..always good to see a covered wagon. Thank You.
Awesome! Thank you!
I love that old locomotive. It is like the ones I watched as a kid. 😊
Special times, we had the B&O go past our place.
Nice to see the B unit back in Chehalis!
Amazing! 😀👍
Excellent tribute at the end..
Very nice tribute to our fallen military at the end of the video, thank you!
UP 1989 (Rio Grande) and CSX 911...the 2 best heritage units on the rails IMHO. 😊
That was great. God bless America.
Happy Memorial Day To Virtual Railfan.
Virtual Railfan, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
0:39 Awesome catch I wonder where that FL9 locomotive is bound for
Metro East Industries in East STL for new paint.
19:01 Happy Memorial Day!
God bless America!, Thanks for all that have fought for our country and freedom!

I don't listen to Motorhead that often........ But when I do, so do my neighbors.😃
@@sanddabz5635 Dos Motörhead….
The f units will always be the most iconic loco design 😌
It is a delight to see European train spotters visiting American shores to observe rolling stock galore. I hope they had oodles of fun.
Lovely outro.
That FL9 hopefully is going to a museum its in great shape
I spotted the rear three axles and went straight to the comments, I am happy to see it identified. Thank you!
It is at MEI in East St Louis for paint.
@@ItsReallyJackBlack MEI? Is it going to a RR museum
Magnificently produced. Magnificently.....
And you Sir, are magnificently eloquent. 😉
@@joepeach997 Thank you so much, Joe!!
I caught F-unit 2024 in Kearny, NJ, with Morristown and Erie GP15-1 #24 in tow by NJ Transit 4104. Great Catch VR!
They gave their today’s for our tomorrows.
Yep; some I was related to, some I knew, and some I served with. Rest in Peace.
@@maynardcarmer3148 my grandfather was a WWII veteran he told that statement when I was a kid and explain it to me. To me everyday is Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Thanks for your service.
I watched the CSX 911 at Cordele as it happened live. I figured that it would be in the grab bag.
0:44 the train number 2024
Thank you for the Memorial Day salute to the troops
11 th love your content
Your videos are THE best! New subscriber, Greg of South Milwaukee, WI USA 🇺🇸
Glad I stayed till the end.
"TRAIN WAITS 3 MINUTES FOR CAR TO PARK"
My first thought was that's gotta be LaGrange.
I was right 😅
Couldn't handle the pressure of having a freight train standing there waiting!😂😂😂
8:12 Best railfan ever!
Nice tribute at the end.
great to se that FL9. one of many that roamed the New Haven RR. Did you know that Sixty ! were built between October 1956 and November 1960 for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
Hopefully a camera will catch it when it has been painted ! thanks !
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Bless our Fallen Heroes. May the God of infiite love and mercy comfort theri Families.
FL9 2024 was a former New Haven and Metro-North locomotive and is now owned by Webb Rail LLC (WEBX). According to Webb Rail's website, they "purchased the locomotive in 2018 and moved it to the Berkshire Valley Scenic Railroad in Lenox, MA, where plans are to return the locomotive to its original New Haven number (2058) and restore it to operation."
Seams to be going the wrong direction to get to Massachusetts 🤔😊...
@@richardbause2453Needs to be overhauled first. Long project.
@@jamesmckenzie3532 ok, anybody know who's doing the overhaul🤔?
@@richardbause2453 There are other comments that it is headed to Buffalo. Maybe for a paint job, maybe for more work.
Big note. It was built as a dual powered locomotive. All electric for operations in NY, and would switch to diesel powered for the branch lines. It has 2 axle trucks in the front, 3 axle trucks in the rear for connecting to the 3rd rail system in NY. There were only 9 of these models ever built. It was in active service until 2007 when it suffered and electrical fire.
6:10 I'm guessing it doesn't matter that the tracks aren't set right?
Spring switch, designed to be pushed across by the loco wheels then spring back.
Fitting a ginormous honkin' SUV into the space of a Honda Fit. Fill that SUV up with brains because its running on empty.
PS If you can parallel park now days, you are an artiste. It's an art no longer appreciated. I learned how in 1966 and that learning still works.
9:26 what’s the status on those two MLW units I would love to hear good news if they have arrived at Cuyahoga Valley scenic railroad safely
9:20 I’ll miss those FPA-4s in the Grand Canyon.
Tributes 2 USA went well
Was that F unit stored in Syracuse? I remember seeing one on siding at State fair around 15 years ago
Need a Buster Keaton sound track for the black and white Paradise PA steam locomotive scene.
Love FL9 at Fairport. It is being rehabbed?
2:07 casual Florida weather
That bnsf b unit caught me off guard 😳
I had to rewind, I thought I'd imagined it
Well now I got a camera to wave to next time I’m in NY. Never knew there was one in fairport. What does it take to have one of these set up?
Great vantage point in Chehalis.
Why are the videos on many of the cameras 📷 so grainy❓️
For those paying attention to the EMD F series loco, it is an FL9, look at the axle configuration.
was that a gremlin (car ) in this video?
The EMD F7 is shorter than the GEVO, but much more Iconic.
Anyways, I say that EMD should revive the Streamline Bulldog nose design of Locomotives.
4:04 You know you've been watching a lot of VR when you recognize the EXACT car or loco - that "Klemme Co-op Grain" car missing the 'K'.
6:07 "6,700 Gal. 10 Tons" But 6700 gallons of water weighs ~28 Tons....
9:10 "Video Subpar in Areas" - But isn't that a Good Thing? ⛳😉🙃🤣
10:42 and 10:44 - 2 Darwin Awards....
For Strasburg 89's tender, 6700 gallons is water capacity, 10 tons is coal capacity.
Is Norfolk Southern Helping Amtrak In 4:33 ?
The Longest Bnsf Train In Washington In 13:44
Megacoalers can be even longer and this megagrainer wasn´t longest one.
what happened to the Horseshoe Curve camera?
Almost didn't realize that was a model railroad.
WEBX 2024 looks like the one displayed at Whippany railway museum.
Gotta give the engineers a lot of credit and patience for going through La Grange 😂
Heavy metal
Whats with bnsf getting rid of a bunch of locos and one of them looks brandnew
Been seeing alot of long trains lately
At 09:28 - CVLX = Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
Anyone know more about classic engine?
It's a ex new haven F9 heading to Buffalo NY for paint idk what they will do with it after that tho
@@braydenrailfanner710 thank you.
@@braydenrailfanner710Nope. It is at MEI in Illinois for paint.
What was that F unit
11:00 maybe it's time they got rid of the parking on that side of the street
Where is that WEBX 2024 going ?
Was that an old Sp F unit
New Haven
@TransferPoint9346 even better
Whose reporting marks are WEBX ?
If you had googled the question you would have an answer. Webb Rail LLC.
0:46 the fact the 3rd locomotive's number is 2024
Is it me, or is the switch misaligned for the steamer at 6:11 ? Wouldn't this derail the right wheel?
The switch is sprung, designed to be moved across by the loco wheels then spring back.
My favorite part of the video was the Rail Fan at 8:12! 😊
Modern locomotives should be more aerodynamic than the old engine here, not less.
I know it cannot be ... but. The E unit in transit appears to be C + B trucks.
An FL9, special design (about 60 units I think) for New Haven in the '50s that could run as straight diesel-electric or to run into New York the C truck equipped with 3rd rail pick-up shoes so it could run as a pure electric into terminal.
@@kennethhanks6712 grand central
@@79billmack I think you may be right, I'll correct.
@@kennethhanks6712 Thank you. "It all comes back to me now"
Believe that is webbrails new engine
My grandma could have parked that car in less time. And she is old and senile !
Should be a law against trains longer than 100 cars.
No there shouldn't
Actually the longer the load the better it is to get to the customers
Ok, I disagree with you, but why do you think that?
In certain areas, yes. However, we have a nationwide crew shortage and doubling the number of trains would mean some trains and goods will never run. Don't even as about the 200K truck driver shortage where boxes never make their destination.
@@Westernstarguy4900 Those trains pass through communities. If there was an emergency, fire/auto accident, emergency vehicles may be prevented from getting across train crossings because of a very, very, long train blocking it.
Did that steam engine derail the points were set wrong
Spring switch.
Salut my friend super Train super video subscribe subscribe ....

Garbage cans just flying throw Chehalis!
