    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"!

    We just found out that the car stopped in front of the Train was stopped due to a mother and child in the pedestrian crosswalk. The GB was already published. No Darwin in this case.

      They weren't in the crosswalk when the car stopped. They were at the curb and several seconds elapsed before the couple set foot in the street. I'm all for courtesy towards pedestrians, but the motorist has an obligation to clear the tracks first.

      Yeah, appears the confusion happened when the person pushed the crosswalk button at the same time as the crossings activated. Pushing the button activated the yellow flashing crosswalk lights that confuse a surprising amount of people into thinking they need to wait for the lights to stop flashing before they can go across (it is not a law, and normal crosswalk rules apply whether they are flashing or not). Obviously the driver shouldn't stop in the middle of the tracks, but was also presented with possibly going through a crosswalk with pedestrians in it violation had the people started walking across.
      Seeing the video, yes their car would fit between the crosswalk and tracks, but if it didn't, I'd rather still enter the crosswalk and possibly risk making a couple people mad and a traffic citation, than get hit by a train.

      Thank you Joe😊.
      A focus on the car door of the Cryro cars for the names gives a little more nostalgia to railfaning. Anticipation of your hometown car goes rolling by you is something that's not forgotten among all the cars out there.
      Heritage Units are all the relm, even the CSX's "Sprite Of" engines are head end power surprises.
      The "Sprite of Cincinnati" has been popping though upstate New York regularly.
      Boomer engines, fallen flag cars🏳, different equipment colors, it's nice that the Cryro cars
      can give something else to look 👀 forward to 😊.

I wonder if it used to be ex CP or CN to have aquired such a horn. American locomotives almost never have a Canadian K3L as their horn. Also the Canadian K3L which playes a D sharp minor chord (D#-F#-A#) sounds much better in my opinion than the American K3L which plays a first inversion A major chord (C#-E-A).
