Wow@ Excellent catching all the trains, especially four adorable white-tailed deer in Fort Madison, Iowa, two meteors in La Plata, Missouri, a Sperry truck, and so much more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and happy Valentine's Day.
Nice lash ups at Horseshoe Curve and HU distributed power, scenic in the snow, CN GEs, Sperry Rail truck in Roanoke, whitetail deer 🦌, nice reflection shot in Burlington!🛤🚂
Cool caboose in Revy, loved the meteors and the deer--I don't know what that critter was that scared them, but it looked as if it meant business! The Altoona footage was gorgeous, and it was nice to see the new Rhode Island cam in action (at least it's new to me). The sun on the rails in Arvada made them look like molten copper, and the ending was another beauty (Burlington is great anytime). Bravi! 🌹
@@michaellastname4922 Thank You, it is quite expensive using top grade (Axis) cameras and looking for the best internet providers plus a staff. Memberships & donations are our bread and butter.
Some good catches, thanks VRF. Particularly the Manifest at Kearney with 'Yreka Western' amongst all the others. Also, PRLX 8908 ST70AH - which I checked-out. I thought she looked very nice in that Blue livery.
You know that a VR Grab Bag is going to be great when the opening scene shows a locomotive move featuring Norfolk Southern, Ferromex, BNSF, and a vintage Santa Fe locomotive! And I didn’t see any Darwin Candidates this time (unless I missed something)!

I've caught up and as always it's great fun and great! Those deer were a bit Darwinish though, weren't they? Running across the tracks and was that a fox chasing them? Seemed to be more Amtrak trains than usual; no bad thing I liked the two at Galesburg (I think) and the Amtrak chasing a freight! All good and the Curve 10 shot was something else and liked the ending Liked it all as always! 👍👍👍👍
It's Valentines Day night 🌙 out for the Girls 🦌 🦌 🦌 🦌. To have the police protect you as you crossed the road couldn't of been more perfect timing 👍. But one of your dates 🦌 was looking for you 😮😂.
Hey VR. Point of grammar: if there are more than one meteor, then you just add an S. If you do a 'S, that is a possessive. Did that meteor own something?
@11:50 NS3987 (formerly Central Maine and Quebec) looks so bad with that slapped on blue paint. Show a little taste NS, at least try and colour (Canadian spelling) match the blues.
Thanks to all the camera wipers out there. You're like signal maintainers: if you're on top of the job, nobody knows you exist. We appreciate you!
Yes indeed--seems as if the only time they get noticed is when the lens is not clean. Thank you guys!

Are you sure those are meteorites and not SpaceX? LOL. I know that you couldn’t see them from there.
Enjoy seeing both the trains and life & nature happening around the trains.
Nice to see Davisville making an appearance on the Grab Bag.
The big ten sunlight reflections were awesome!
Always enjoy the trains, but to get a great video of a C-130. That was extra special. Always enjoy the wild animals too‼️
I love watching these grab bags daily. They never disappoint
Wow love the old blue and yellow Santa Fe in the first train with all the BNSF and the yard pusher and the deers great video
Love that blue and yellow Santa Fe unit with the silver trucks. One of my favorite paint schemes of all time.
Kudos to whoever had the idea to use closing songs to these videos.👍
I always thought MuGu was like ShooGoo but fer cows...goes to show ya. Thanks VRF for the great entertainment!

Another great video from VRF !
Thanks!
Thank You very much! Look for you name somewhere in the next Grab Bag!
From the entire VRF Crew, Thank You!
@@joepeach997 Maybe the hint will pass along ... it can't be cheap to run VR.
Thank you so much!

Beautiful trains back on the track, thanks Reindert from Surinam
Nice to see that ft mad had a healthy deer population.

The two Amtraks in Galesburg, IL was a NICE catch. GOOD job !
The Seaboard passenger car is Robert Rileys, president of Rock Island Rail.
I wondered who he was--thank you!

This Grab Bag gets A++++++++
Another grab bag ALREADY?! haven't got time now; it's about 21.30 GMT (UK); try and catch up tomorrow. David 😊

Enjoy CZ 5 & 6 in Galesburg & Burlington
I ❤ a Daily VR Grab Bag.

You know darn good & well those four thugs were out tagging when the cops showed up.....
The First Phase 7 GE P40 Amtrak Engine In 12:48 😁
I saw the LTEX switcher come out of Conway today behind two UP units. Any idea where it's headed?
Hi erywon 🤙😎
Does anyone know where those 5 FEC units are going
Down to Mexico City.
The train in Oklahoma City is my home state but i live down in the southern area of the state.🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
Was the deer being followed by a coyote? always love seeing fallen flags. great work.
1:58???Is that a Red ALCO in Waupaca Wi????? In feb.2024?????
At 19:00, local PD was an eye-witness to trespassers...why no pursuit and subsequent citation of egregious perpetrators?!
Egregious seems a little harsh. They were just out for a frolic.😊
😂😂
@@bknesbitt2155
😅
Seaboard Sunset Lounge 9:49
How unusual. The LTEX SW1500 has one Type A truck (cab end) and one Type B truck (leading).
What's the Florida East Coast railroad doing all the way out in Georgia?
Locomotives are going off property for upgrades and repaint.
@@J3scribe ok then
KCS and NS in Plant City at 2:07
Anyone know what came up after the deer?
I would like to know that also!
Bobcat? About the right size. Not much of a tail.
I thought it was a coyote.
Moderator and chat thought it was a coyote.
I don't think it was a coyote because it didn't have a tail, and it was not long enough in the body to be a cougar...bobcat?
Any possibility you could put a camera in Kirkwood Missouri?
Scrap shear on excavator at waycross
Hi
whatever that was in fort Madison was chasing those deer! Wasn’t a coyote thats for sure!
Hey VR. Point of grammar: if there are more than one meteor, then you just add an S. If you do a 'S, that is a possessive. Did that meteor own something?
Correct! Fixed.
was that a coyote or fox chasing the deer? maybe a dog?
Could have been a dog
@11:50 NS3987 (formerly Central Maine and Quebec) looks so bad with that slapped on blue paint. Show a little taste NS, at least try and colour (Canadian spelling) match the blues.
That surfliner car needs to be taken back to California where it belongs
Day One of no Darwin's.
