- Car on the tracks and one member leaves the scene. Some brand new big blue boxcars, two trains make a great entrance at the bend in Fort Madison, two large parts of a CWR Continuous Welded Rail are combined in Oklahoma City, and a ton more of catches. So, get on board and have a great time viewing this selection made for the most discerning Railfan ;-)

The train crew ,did a great job of getting that train slowed down and stopped in time
@Enmity the Kindhearted and their car
and the car participant did their best to try to get themselves killed
This certainly would have had a different outcome if the crew hadn't handled it so well.
@@cnosprandt5155 scrapyard trip
I think a lot had to do with the speed limit being about 15 mph and all wheels held. Transfers are usually about 10 to 15 mph. The train crew may have seen the car turn onto the track.
it was awhile back, when I saw a Norfolk Southern & a Penn Central lashup. Kind of blew me away!
Being a former Conrail crew; it brought back memories . you guys are the best and pick em off much
thanks!!!
his GPS said "turn left and follow the tracks to Ashland"
Wow! That’s a bit of snow!
The car driver talking to the crew.
"Would you mind giving us a little push?
Wouldn't be surprised 😂
Love it when the engineers wave to the camera.
The conductors, too!
0:24 a pair of NS diesels passing Paradise Junction
0:42 a lot of freshly painted blue boxcars
1:24 H2, H1, and two Southwestern Railroad units
1:45 9-car BNSF OCS
2:30 three trains racing each other
3:55 Sperry Car 145
4:42 these two railroad crossings are in the middle of intersections so it can get easy to get lost in them
12:04 footage speaks for itself
12:46 Amtrak 203 leading
15:53 New Mexico Rail Runner, then the camera moves to show two B40-8Ws in the yard
Sending Love and warmth to ALL railfans...
I normally wouldn't find humor in something like this but I did find it funny the guy put his hazard lights on.
Driver + passengers in that Doc's clip = 3 Darwin Candidates
To be a Darwin candidate, you must succumb to your stupidity. Although there are a few honorable mentions that lived.
I'm guessing some adult beverages were involved in KC, great detail on the continuous rail train, love the black and white footage in Strasburg, keep up the great work
I saw car on tracks this way; new comer in town, drug delivery or pickup.
Crew bailed when they got stuck on tracks, driver goes back to collect evidence, have to other guy to get lost with product before law came, ergo clean car and passengers, he/she just made wrong turn
Uh huh.
Things are more than what you see or think in videos.
Id bet on that.
None the less, great video, love the "white out" in Horseshoe, that happens in Dallas except its rain, heat, cold humid, snow, ice, sometimes all within hour or two, kid you not!
Love this channel, I'm mainly an "Avgeek" but learning A LOT more about trains on this channel, specially from "Grab Bags"!👍🏿
You have a vivid imagination.
@@richmanwisco Thankyou, but no imagation involved, just simple deduction.
Ive seen a few car wrecks go down like this, and actualy saw passengers grabs bags from vehicle and be TOLD to "get lost before law comes, walk natural."
But thankyou for the credit.
@@Southwest_923WR So yeah, just like the movies. Anything in the police blotter?
You know you’re a railfan when you can now point out BNSFs and Norfolk Southerns and you live in a different country! 😋
👍🏻🤠✌️ awesome
What I find so cool about 14:10 is that Strasburg 89 and Amtk 9651 (ex 806) were built 59 years apart, while 9651 was built 53 years ago. the age difference between the mogul and the metroliner is almost the same as the difference between the metroliner and present day
4:35 GPS says turn left driver "OK you the boss"
Outstanding whiteout
In all the "cars on tracks" videos I've seen on Grab Bag, I have yet to see a cop administer a field sobriety test, much less arrest anyone. Which boggles my mind -- I'm pretty sure the cops in my neck of the woods would assume the driver was impaired and proceed accordingly.
I was surprised they didn't shoot some one
Here in the UK anything car on rails related is covered by the 'Level Crossing Regulations' - which includes going through activated lights & barriers. Any infringement brings a fine, three penalty points on the licence and disqualification, but all can be used or increased given the severity of each case as well as any other offences committed at that time
@@easternwoods4378 Amazingly, only a very tiny percentage of police encounters result in gunshots.
You’re watching it from a stationary web camera that’s been edited for time. Do you really think you’re seeing the whole situation.
Maybe a "field stupidity" test
This country hands driver's licenses out way too easily.
Not only Kansas. Drive around Frankfurt/Main metropolitan area and you can immediately spot the (often US forces) US drivers and spouses by their totally inadequate driving. A long time they switched to fake German license plates (for non-existing village) in a plan to appear less obvious. But US driving gives them away anytime. So many US-bread drivers don't giving a **** for local driving regulations and clog up even three lane Autobahn traffic completely. Things like in this video don't happen here, because we have rather few level crossings, but replaced by bridges instead.
Tell me you've never made a mistake while driving and I'll call you a liar.
Acting like a drunken ostrich and running away from the scene of an accident will make your DUI much worse.
@@richmanwisco Mistakes are a matter of scale--on a spectrum, if you like. Deliberately trying to get oneself killed as a driver (as evidenced by getting back in the vehicle with a train approaching, horn blasting), only to have one's the ambition dashed by luck and the awareness and skill of the train crew, is pretty much right off the end of the "mistake" scale.
1:43 Lower left there is a sign with the heading of "Railroad Impacts" about the cultural / historical impacts of the RR on Tucson, AZ. When it first caught my eye I though it was a warning sign about being on the tracks
There were parts of this film where I just couldn't look. I am glad that the Engineer saw the car and threw the brake.
Salute to the 'true rail fans' 📸🌨️👋🏽😀
DAMM! I was waiting for slambo to show up🤣
As it says on my furnace: "It's hard to stop a Trane (sic)". Nice of an HVAC company to remind me about rail safety every time I change the filters!
Love the "Boing"!🤣 too bad the people in the car didn't see Amtrak 203 sooner
True railfans at the Curve👍👍for toughing out the squall!
Thanks for a wonderful grab bag!
That's always good put the flashers on for safety
You might say those railfans that sit in blizzards might just be insane.
Compared to what happened in Kansas City, the railfans at Horseshoe Curve are perfectly normal.
Digging that catch at Ft. Madison!
Have spent many a winter visit to the Horseshoe Curve in weather like that and worse. Of course I was much younger then.
Well I wonder how long the blue boxcars is going to be nice and pretty and pour old doc not getting any love from the C O T customers 😉
6:45 you know the people in that apartment complex walls gotta be shakin 😁
Great video thanks. Have a great week end.
Amazing they got that train stopped in time
True Rail fans.
Well he almost made it to the road.thats alot of snow on the curve.
Kansas City getting in on Ashland fun
Can you imagine being that car and seeing the gate lights come on in your rear view mirror...
The train's headlight was surely visible itself before that.
To be fair, staying there at the curve was perhaps the safest choice. The squall line didn't stuck around long as for driving in that; forget it!
That car in the tracks got so dang lucky they were on a straightaway and not on a curve. Plenty of time for emergency to stop the train. Wow just wow.
Another honorable mention for the Darwin award.
I think that guy will eventually win one.
That snow at Altoona was only a passing squall. It snowed for about half an hour real hard then the sun came out
Indeed! It came out of nowhere!
I got caught in that same squall line when it hit Clark’s Summit just after 1pm.
I may be wrong but I DON'T think that was someone firing a gun. For one thing the people at the stuck car would've been running for their lives from the "shooter"AND the cops would be there ASAP. If anything, I believe it was a flash from a cellphone camera as he took a picture of the predicament. 📷
12:12 Give those two folks credit for even thinking about making the trek up to the Curve
Go back to 7:24 and look at that guy who had just walked away from the car and is now walking back to the car. His right arm is raised and I'm positive that he fires a gun towards the others. You see the muzzle flash and then hear the shot. Then, the others immediately scream at him.
This is more than just your average lost people making the wrong turn on the tracks deal. This is no good. And what is scary is that those police officers were completely unawares that a gun had been fired at the other people.
Then this video needs to be turned in to the KC/MO Police Department.
That was a gunshot!! I wound this back several times. The driver shot at his passengers and was screaming at them. I think this clip needs to be sent to Detectives at the Kansas City MO Police Department. They will obtain the original dispatch, and the tow record of this person. Get this idiot off the street and in jail.
@@lynne6417 Yep, completely agree.
That must be the "...heap of wow!" in the title.
I was able to put on slow mo, definitely a muzzle flash, “something is rotten in the star of Denmark.”
Me screaming "The car isn't worth it - get out of the car!"
I really look forward to these. :)
great catches. that driver on the track was very lucky the train was not going faster. ALSO at 14:58 is proof there are full size human beings inside those large powerful locos. must have left the door open to air out the cab.
I see three probable drunks and one of those guys who juuuust might have warrants out and knows the cops have been called.
He needs to be somewhere else before they show.
That extra passenger in the car in KC saying "Nope! I'll walk....it's safer!!"
Or he had a Warrant, and split before the Cops got there.
@@kennypeapea2256 True, very true. After seeing the video, I'd personally go with the former, but you make a good point for the latter.
I wonder if there is a news story follow up to this?
@@kennypeapea2256 or maybe he didn’t want to get a warrant/ violation, etc
Are We Back With "Cars On The Tracks" Videos Again! Great Grab Bag
You could not ask for better timing on that train meet
I told the boss we need a cross-over here.
That was the same, very intense snow squall we got about an hour before that video
You know what's scarier than this video? Sharing the road with these drivers.😝
12:00 heh welcome to Altoona, or PA in general, in late winter or early spring, it gets crazy
I would think that the combined stiffness of all those rails would make it impossible for the cars to go around a curve. Amazing.
Railroad rails are actually pretty wiggly in the horizontal plane, somewhat less wiggly in the vertical plane.
@@alonespirit9923 Like bending a plastic ruler. Folding it in half is easy, bending it into a flat curve is almost impossible. The cross-section of the material is shaped to put all the strength where it's needed: supporting the weight of the train. Forces in other directions are negligible.
They did have an issue at Deshler last year and wound up using a few moved and track changes to get moved.
It just goes to show that nothing good comes at 1:00 in the morning. If you are not familiar with the area, not paying attention, and perhaps inebriated...you just might miss that turn. Also it is not the best place to be at night....
This was one of my favorite grab bags.
That is a lot of snow
It took them that long to realize they were on the tracks
Well, this is one of the more random things in my recommends in a while lol
History aside- that Havelock,marked car- ex- CB&Q shop in Nebraska,if you saw a Topeka car,would be ex-Santa Fe!! Both shops,in their day,built locomotives 🚂!! Thanks 😊!
Super videos
What a fantastic grab bag! This certainly is up there in "Best of" territory! Thanks!
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!! ever read about Yard Dogs in Oklahoma during the 40's?
They need a hy-rail car! You got to be smarter than the gps!
Awesome Video
🚂🌲🇮🇳🚂🌲
I'm about an 1:15 Northwest of the Curve, and we got hit with that same squall--right when I was about to go shopping. But an hour later it was done, and today is much warmer and sunny.
That car on the tracks gets the " two braincells fighting for the finish""! award.
That Quadclops at 15:00 is a first for me!
New Darwin Award at Doc's...
High Quality open 24 hours! Trip time!
I’ve been seeing so many images of Kansas City that I think that I’m going to plan a rail-fan trip there at some point!!
You should not be disappointed. There is BNSF, KCS, UP, & KCT. I think there is a small company in NKC.
When you're done at Union Station, be sure to spend a half a day just up the hill at the National World War I museum.
@@richmanwisco Oh yes I’ll definitely see what the city house offer for sure for me I like to find different restaurants different things to do embrace the opportunities of the city has to offer!!
@@royreynolds108 from the pictures it looks to be very exciting I can’t wait I’ll probably ask myself why didn’t I do this five years ago but again at least I’m doing it now I can’t wait to check out the city!!
Anyone know how many crossings that driver managed to get locked up? Just curious.
Hmm.. right after midnight, Friday night - good chance the driver was impaired - what always amazes me is how the driver can drive some distance before realizing that the pavement isn't normally this rough? I know there was snow on the ground, so maybe the rails aren't that obvious when you first make your turn, but still.....
I think most ppl kind of freeze in this situation and don't think. They realize they are on RR tracks, but they just keep driving, hoping they will get to another crossing and be able to get off them. Of course, even if they do make it to the next crossing, they'll likely be stuck trying to hop up onto the road, but they aren't thinking that.
2:00-. What did happen to all the cars on the old Circus Trains (Barnum & Bailey) anyways? These shiny aluminum cars look like the cars in the old circus trains-and they have popped up in other videos as well.
nice video
The dead man’s break he’s lucky very very lucky.
It took an hour for the train to get the all clear to move again AFTER the car was removed?
I noticed that too. It couldn’t have taken THAT long to build the air pressure!
5:03 Kansas City Dispatcher answering the KC radio to the
Toyota Corolla
you are cleared to take the signal and proceed south on the main track 2
Can a loaded CWR train go around the Horseshoe Bend? I know the rail can flex, but what is the limit?
Hi I just joined
Welcome!
What commodity in those new blue box cars?!
I love watching trains. Do you ever get the train yard in Chattanooga?
Wow they just let Drunky McGee off w/a warning to go forth and cause more early morning mayhem.
Filler ends at 4:45, so you can skip to there.
I once mistook the tracks for a driveway to an auto repair shop during a snowstorm. Didn't take too long to figure out my mistake!
COOL
Luckily the trains don't go fast through downtown
A great Saturday weekend grab bag VRF!! 😃👍
Passing trains that got no name...
Nice
White out at horseshoe ~ brrr
I would love to see snow like that!
@@csxstalker1826
No you wouldn’t. One thing to watch it. Another to be in it.
That was Casters tow from oak grove Missouri
"Yeah, Toto, we're still in Kansas".
Missouri -- NOT Kansas (although the stateline is not far way)
@@KKEM641 Still in Kansas City though? So, Yes Toto, we're still in a place called Kansas.
Kansas City is in Missouri, there is a Kansas City, Kansas, but this location is in Kansas City, MISSOURI.
@@KKEM641 Yes, in MISSOURI, but it's still called KANSAS CITY. KANSAS CITY MISSOURI.
I once saw a BNSF with an all yellow underline in Los Angeles but I haven't seen it in years. Is it still out there?
Yes, one of a kind. It shows up on this channel from time to time, and they usually make a point to stop the video for a few seconds when it does.
Note the time the guy started down the tracks, just after the bars close. Betcha adult beverages were part of it.
11:34 where did they think 🤔 they were going? Inquiring minds want to know. 12:52 that needs to be on a shirt. See tracks wish there were trains. 🚂
Great camera work. If there was not such a long line of sight this could have had a different outcome.
Who drives on the tracks,were they off there heads?
The person got back in the car @6:30 to put on the emergency flashers
Something tells me the car on the tracks in KC was way more than a mistake. Maybe joyriding?!?!?
7:24--The guy returns and fires a gun at the people still near the car. I'm kinda shocked nobody picked up on this. And especially worrisome seeing how naively the police approached the situation, not knowing what happened earlier...
