    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"!

    Watch at La Plata, Mo as each section of the Loran Grinder stops grinding before the 32' wide walkway to M2 and starts up again on the other side. The smaller unit that does switches and level crossing will grind it at a later time.

    Ooh, the La Plata cam let us hear the LORAM grinder working, which I've never been able to do before--very cool! The meet at Altoona was beautiful, but the mix at the end was *incredible* and I can only imagine how much work it took. Terrific!!

    0:20 flatcars carrying switch sections. They're too wide to transport flat
    0:54 caboose right behind the NS loco
    1:10 Elkhart sees quite a bit of foregin power
    1:50 three H2 dash 9s and a CP heritage unit (again at 16:38)
    2:54 private cars over Horseshoe Curve
    3:44 NS 4777 was recently overhauled into an AC44C6M
    4:32 Tropicana Juice Train on an intermodal.
    5:00 I've never seen one of these KT hoppers before
    5:16 BNSF H2 dash 9 towing a Cascades service of a P42 and horizon cars (again at 8:01)
    6:08 I've also never seen this Comet Rice hopper livery. This one is now owned by Wells Fargo.
    6:56 CSX 4568
    7:03 new VIA Rail train being towed by a UP SD70M
    7:31 South Kansas & Oklahoma light power. Lead unit is still in the old yellow livery and the other is still in UP livery
    8:22 8-unit lash-up with a variety of BNSF orange locos
    8:36 solo leader, containers, autoracks, mixed freight, autorack without side screens, more mixed freight including loaded centerbeams, and a solo rear DPU
    9:16 I've never seen flatbeds like these
    10:47 a whole train of empty centerbeams! They are extremely light compared to other rolling stock and could derail easily if the crew isn't careful
    13:00 NS 6963, the GoRail unit, and 6912. Both are SD60Es
    13:35 CSX 1776 leading
    14:10 CN leader and two Ferromex units trailing in Wichita!
    14:50 all H2 triple-header
    16:18 D&H hopper
    16:56 Loram working in La Plata. Sparks are thrown beyond the yellow line
    18:54 SP&S heritage hopper

    Seen two Grab Bags in one day! This must be a record! The best footage I have ever seen on the Altoona curve?? Great to see Skykomish again; what an acoustic! Freight engines helping passenger trains; freight trains following each other, especially at Wichita (keep looking out for the linesman that Glen Campbell used to sing about); the train with the lights at La Plata plus a freight passed by an errant Wacky racer (!!!!) and the finale WHEN WE ACTUALLY SAW TRAINS ON THE BIG 10!!! And lots of happy faces and waves, especially at Tuscon (where JoJo the hero of "Get Back" used to live 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Ive been watching for a while but just joined VRF a couple of weeks ago. One of these clips reminded me of being in Memphis, TN yesterday. I live 60 miles east of there. By accident I had the opportunity to watch a 2 mile long BNSF all JB Hunt intermodal. It was a sight to see. Then there was a huge double stack CSX that I watched that took almost 20 minutes to clear the crossing. It was that long. Which brings me to ask had VRF considered a camera in Memphis. It has a lot of rail traffic and with the new Blue Oval (Ford) factory about to open, that’s going to be an even busier rail traffic area.

    My suggestions for improving VR: 1. Eliminate all shots of wildlife, people waving at the camera, music videos, weather phenomena, rockets, airplanes, antique automobiles, Amtrak trains (they all look the same). Class 1 railroad locomotives (they all look the same, even the heritage engines are boring after seeing them dozens of times), work trains, and private passenger cars.
    2. Replace #1 with short line and regional railroad engines/trains and showing entire freight trains not speeded up because freight cars are much more interesting.
    I will retreat to my bunker and prepare to be excoriated by all the fans who think VR is perfect just the way it is.
