@@bowlinerailfanYou mean Maxwell Smart, the lead character of 'Get Smart' played by Don Adams. It was my Friday night 'must watch' show when I was a kid 📺
@@citibear57 Thank you. I had trouble remembering the character's first name, but I remembered who'd played him, which is why I used that name. My apologies if I got you upset. I hadn't seen much episodes of it and it's been awhile since I've seen an episode. It's a good show; what channels I got over the years just rarely aired it.
@@bowlinerailfan Upset? Not at all. Actually, I was really happy to see that you mentioned it. It brought back memories of my childhood, and Friday nights, which was when the show aired here. It was a great way to start the weekend! I haven't seen that show in 50+ years. How time flies huh? Watching VR's Grab Bags are a lot more entertaining to me now 😊👍
Super Grab Bag, thank you VRF. CP 2816 looked and sounded fantastic. The Controlled Explosion at Kansas City was a credit to all concerned. One thing I always like about Roanoke is there are plenty of EMDs and they are nearly always moving at a steady, sedate pace.
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Heritage Units, an adorable animal in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, events in Chehalis, Washington, hit and run in La Grange, Kentucky, a steam engine in Kansas City, Missouri, and so much more, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
Great video! The demolition at Kansas City was well done to avoid damage to the rail lines. I hope the observers were wearing masks as you wouldn’t want to be breathing in old concrete dust.
Seeing those frames on flat cars brings back memories. As a kid growing up in Chicago in the 1960s, I lived a Block and a half from the Belt Railway tracks. Once in a while there would would be 2 flat cars in the train loaded with truck frames loaded near vertically on those cars. The frames were securely chained down. Thanks for the memories ! :
6:12 Canadian Pacific 2816, also known as the "Empress", is a preserved class "H-1b" 4-6-4 Hudson-type steam locomotive built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in December 1930 for the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is the only non-streamlined H1 Hudson to have survived into preservation. Thanks for showcasing this beautiful locomotive! 🚂
That Hit and Run was insane. But then the cop comes driving by a minute later and kept on going? SMH! Loved the Steam locomotive engine in KCMO. Bldg demo in the east bottoms there was well done! Great video VR! Thanks!
What a picture-perfect demolition--I wish they were all like that. The fox was beautiful, and it was nice to see the wide age range among the railfans at the Chehalis event. It was also very good to see CP 2816--she is gorgeous, and so is her voice! Thanks for another great one!
I was unaware of CPKC swapping in the unit with the new paint scheme on the steam excursion. Good way to promote the new image. The old and new together.
Its just goes to show you'll never what to expect whether its someone doing a possible felony of a hit-n-run or as in this case as the biggest item in this grab-bag, The first time a "Railcam" captured a building implosion!
Nice those 2 reefers in Roanoke. Too bad, not the train on 05/19 through Kearney wich had 11 (!) reefers with names. Did forgot to write in the chat about it....
The building going down was cool! Wasn't there a building in the wedge-shaped lot between that building and the camera? If so, when did that come down? I hadn't viewed that camera in a couple of years.
hi just seen 4472 at 15;43 i didnt know they have the flying scotsman number lol anyway great vids as always keep the vids going virtual railfan from the nutman uk southampton
R&B bld in KC. I remember for years after that was a bakery and grocery warehouse that was the home of weld racing wheels. But then they got another location in the early 2000s and moved somewhere else in Kansas City.
The Ridenour-Baker Grocery Company Building in Kansas City, Missouri was a commercial building constructed in 1910 by the Ridenour-Baker Grocery Company. It was the first wholesale grocery building west of the Mississippi River to be located on the path of a railway, where goods could be shipped into it directly.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Sad to see people cheering for the tearing down of a historic building.
The whistle on 2816 sounds better. It didn't seem like it was working correctly. And what happened to the two FP-9s in heritage scheme? I find it funny how crazy people get over the old cpr scheme.
Bad Joke O’ the Day: In Kansas City the other day, right after the implosion of that building shown, there was a Deaf man who came around the corner after the blast. Obviously, he didn’t hear the explosives go off, but he _did_ see the huge Cloud of Smoke. Taken aback, he asks several bystanders “Was Snoop Dogg just here?”
At least I got onto the railcam twice that week from after getting 21 trains there on Saturday at the Railfan meet up, which has good power, NS Leader, and KCS Leader, and good crews, and then after that, Sunday I ran back to the cam before going home and wave and then get another KCS Leader but it was a KCS Ace Leading.
Thanks for the grab bag, and wow that police car was just 30 seconds short of catching that hit and run 🎉
Don Adams: "Missed it by that much."

Hit and run? When? I didn't see any
at 6:10, it was a real treat seeing Canadian Pacific 2816 go through Santa Fe Junction! Then, at 8:43, the BIG blast!
I love seeing the interesting items they carry on the flatbeds.
Yeah Especialy The Opera Styled Centerbeams Which We're Being Sold To The Other Companies

With two different Conrail heritage units on the rails, be interesting to see when they are coupled together on the same consist.

Great video!

Makes sense why that camera was locked behind a paywall too
"1234" hey that's the same code I put on my luggage! Remind me later to change the code on my luggage...
Oh, your luggage isn’t matched like mine huh? I just had a gorgeous flight attendant that looks to give great helmet
Spacewalks luggage joke as well.
😂
That blast was a BLAST! By the sound of it, someone ehm… ‘wet’ their pants too.
@@Youberc lol
That 2816 is a BEAST!
Great video Virtual Railfan! Keep it up!
WOW loved Thanks VRF ❤
That building smoke kept coming and coming!

another great video virtual railfan 🫡🖤
Thanks VRF for seeing the oldest building in my hometown of KC!
That '57 Bel Air was gorgeous!
Great Grab Bag as Always. Thanks! 👍🙏
6:35 imagine hearing that on a cold, heavy fog morning in the distance down the tracks "chuffing" at full tilt and then that demonic whistle 🥶😨😰😱
Great video. I had a blast watching it.
LOL!
Cool to see the engineer at 12:19 giving a salute to the Railcam
I love the new paint on ES44AC CPKC 9375. I also love that Canadian Pacific 2816 occurred with the ES44AC
Me too...
@@davehughesfarm7983 yeah, that is a very good catch for one of the grab bags in the video.
Wow great grab bag 9:00 min
Blew up real good.
No mention of 2816 in the grab bag title - Very nice surprise. Thanks another great one.
2816 was beautiful !!
GE meets EMD in Roanoke, nice footage of CP 4-6-4,nice lash up in LaPlata,great video!🛤🚂

And Thank You for providing the information. Saved a few searches.
21:59 The Golden Swoosh - one of a kind
I was able to see 2816 in person as the first standard gauge steamer I’ve ever seen. Was incredible
15:30 BNSF retiring some engines ?
Great Gab Bag !
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Kansas City had things going on....Good to see the new paint scheme.
9:10 for the implosion!
That Hit and Run was insane. But then the cop comes driving by a minute later and kept on going? SMH! Loved the Steam locomotive engine in KCMO. Bldg demo in the east bottoms there was well done! Great video VR! Thanks!
Looked like that LEO was shining a spotlight around?
@@TinkerTailor4303 I noticrd that too. Perhaps Mr. Hit and Run was leaving a crime scene when he T-boned the other car.
Remember, if your solution to a problem is to call the police, now you have two problems.
*Awesome Catches*
I guess they will spray the barge with some flex seal and all is good
Wow NS 1234 that’s cool
But not that cool to show it twice
Quite the demolishing job.
What a picture-perfect demolition--I wish they were all like that. The fox was beautiful, and it was nice to see the wide age range among the railfans at the Chehalis event. It was also very good to see CP 2816--she is gorgeous, and so is her voice! Thanks for another great one!

I liked it too..
16:22 An ACE with sequential 1-2-3-4….isn’t that a “Straight”? 🃏
Its just goes to show you'll never what to expect whether its someone doing a possible felony of a hit-n-run or as in this case as the biggest item in this grab-bag, The first time a "Railcam" captured a building implosion!
Love The Boat
Boom!❤.
That implosion went fast
Loved the 2816 event and seeing the cpkc livery too.
9:11 Why Did It Collapse??
That was not a collapse. It was demolished with explosives.
I am wondering how the echo of train horns will change at the location of the Kansas City implosion.
9:15 well then all I gotta say is BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!!!!
Hit and run had to be from the west end of Louisville they always do that ! No insurance bad tags or carrying drugs .
Welp.
There goes The Building.
That La Grange cop didn't seem interested in chasing down that hit & run.
He probably didn't see it. He appeared to be searching for someone on foot.
21:50 What a beautiful looking Chevy Bel Air
Nice those 2 reefers in Roanoke. Too bad, not the train on 05/19 through Kearney wich had 11 (!) reefers with names. Did forgot to write in the chat about it....
1:20 One of Tucson's regular visitors.
I think you missed something in Santa Fe Junction at 9PM…
WOW WHAT A GREAT TEASER!!
hope I don’t miss the next one !!
6:12 whats that steamer, never seen it before
5:36 well officer is saw everything
Not only hit in run in front of a live stream camera but a cop too🤣🤣
The building going down was cool! Wasn't there a building in the wedge-shaped lot between that building and the camera? If so, when did that come down? I hadn't viewed that camera in a couple of years.
9:14 not every day you see an implosion on grab bag
@21:16 there’s 2 CSX engines switching
8:46 for boom
I was thinking of going to the Chehalis meet-up, but I could find no further information about it other than the line on their camera view.
Oooo. A cliffhanger.
9:21, There it goes!
1234 Asbestos!
hi just seen 4472 at 15;43 i didnt know they have the flying scotsman number lol anyway great vids as always keep the vids going virtual railfan from the nutman uk southampton
Don't those demolished building watchers remember what happened to the 911 dust inhalers! 😮
They are a safe distance away from the implosion
14:00 Banisters are for grabbing.
Is That a DC NRHS Logo Thing in Roanoke Virginia?!
We're Coo coo for Choo Choos 😂
R&B bld in KC.
I remember for years after that was a bakery and grocery warehouse that was the home of weld racing wheels.
But then they got another location in the early 2000s and moved somewhere else in Kansas City.
Sad to see it go. Did lots of photography of it.

Any idea what the object was at 18:00?
😀😀😀👍👍
9:11 If this was Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Ty Pennington would say all the workers; " People, are you ready for some DEMO!!!!!"
I bet they thought they were standing far enough away from the boom. lol
It Sounds Like Tank Cannons
6:46, It's CP 2816!
"Fox On The Run"
You know it's getting strange when the train video people become the Tornado and Surveillance people
16:39 my friend saw this train one time in pennsylvania
look at those reprobates waving.
🥰😍🤩😘🐺🦊
fox is doing Darwin patrol
Where are those Dash-9s going after rebuild?

what timestamp is the demolition?
9:12 in the video
That Baker Building was built in 1910, and listed as a Historic Landmark in 2014, so It should've never been torn down
If you saw inside,you would see lots of graffiti and it was in the way of future projects
@VWdabug Still it was listed on the National Register Of Historic Places, meaning it was supposed to be protected from being demolished or worse.
9:20 What was that building? When was it built? What is its history?
Nevermind. I did a search on it and got some good historical hits.
At least I got onto the railcam twice that week from after getting 21 trains there on Saturday at the Railfan meet up, which has good power, NS Leader, and KCS Leader, and good crews, and then after that, Sunday I ran back to the cam before going home and wave and then get another KCS Leader but it was a KCS Ace Leading.
Textbook implosion demolition in KC.
Wow, 2816 is owned and operated by CPKC.
6:11 CP 2816
anybody know what happend to the horseshoe cam?????
It’s down due to ISP issues. We are working with the host to resolve.
Well I got the number 1234 now they need the 5678
