Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a nice day and night.
I loved seeing all three trains at Paradise, PA but most especially dear old 89; the Auto Train was very cool, and that CSX engine wearing greenery should know that Easter is over lol! Enjoyed watching them moving the caboose (nice cam workaround) and getting ready to replace old ties, and of course the goings-on at the Burlington Bridge--hooray! Hope Dad and Doc are enjoying their road trip and saw some good trains in Utah. This one is just packed--great work Joe and gang!
I love Virtual Railfan and all the variety. It's not just trains going by, but all kinds of interesting scenes. I like the trains but I also like the art, nature, humor, the technology, and the goofy antics at La Grange. Keep up the wonderful work!
Actually, I wonder if for an outsider coming in from the right as we look at it, it's not that obvious that there's a road as well as a railway. So drivers spotting the level crossing paraphernalia, look no further and miss the Stop.
So glad Folkston’s catch of 52 running 98’s marker made it! Probably about as close as we may get to a good race from Amtrak in Folkston! Wasn’t that bad of Amtraks, either! The Dash-8 got a showing!
Virtual Railfan did not show the 1905 NYC wooden caboose ride on the flatbed across the parking lot. No train in the way during that time. Still impressive to see the great big move!!

@citylimits8927 That particular train stops in Toledo, OH and in parts of western NY, both of which have Amish communities. The folks in Elkhart were likely going to visit relatives.
@@jmtpubsI always knew that Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York are the top states for Amish communities (Michigan and Wisconsin are the other big ones). They probably were indeed traveling. There are communities in the Elkhart area and north of there in Southwest Michigan.
Great job on the video! The bridge at Burlington is one of my favorite. Especially if it has a train in transit. What is wrong with those people in Kentucky? Almost every vid has some kind of mess-up at that location. Is it something in the water?
I love the FEC color scheme. But I see it says Grupo Mexico on the engine. Does that mean that FEC does not own the engine? Or is it being leased to this group?
@@bobcohen4008 I don’t know but I am guessing that the bottom of the car is hung up on the rails and the wheels are not touching the ground. You’ll notice that the tow truck always takes the car away indicating to me that damage has occurred making it undriveable.
Not sure if this has ever been discussed. But the volume of auto collisions at La Grange that we see here clearly have nothing to do with the Railroad tracks. It is the lack of respect for the stop signs (as was pointed out here). Would a traffic light be better? There is a lot of traffic through that intersection - plus, it could go to flashing red when the trains come.
I have two questions regarding this video. First - regarding the traffic in LaGrange. It seems the clock on the corner. It seems that it is an accident waiting to happen. Is there any discussion about moving the clock out of its way? Second - in regards to the conversations going on in Cordele. It seems similar to an air traffic controller to a pilot. Am I right in this analogy?
I always knew that Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York are the states with the most Amish people (Wisconsin and Michigan are the other big ones). You could easily be right.
It looked like that high nose NS engine may have been ex SP from the way the lights were mounted up high and couldn’t BNSF have a cleaner engine pull the office special?
@ 3 mins; isn't it either late or early for the car-carriers to be on the rails? I'm accustomed to seeing them in late Autumn and early Spring. @ 10:10: another vehicle-scrape in La Grange! Looking at the Stop Signs, I would say the truck would have had the right-of-way, being there first, but the driver didn't stop; can't tell if the car stopped, so would hate to be the arbitrator of this "incident"! @ 25:38: another train carrying war-equipment ...
I wonder how much longer CSX is going to let that damaged loco operate? Tree branches, bent guard rail, broken ditch light. Seems this is the second time I’ve seen it on VRF.
It is entering Rice yard where CSX's largest locomotive shop is located. The previous Grab Bag was of another locomotive at the same location with the same problem. Both will be fixed at Rice before they are sent elsewhere.
I Don’t Understand Bout LaGrange KY let’s see if I can spell it out for you??? S T O P!! Is that simple enough Duh ! And The Goof in Fairport NY Get some Glasses 👓!
That dude has no brains what so ever: Is clearly going too fast in those surroundings, blows through an intersection of a large street never questioning who has the ROW. Doesn't see a stop sign, pulls over and then leaves his door open impeading traffic.
Amtrak Auto Train is Awesome! 👍🙏
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a nice day and night.
Great Grab Bag video. It's always LaGrange that has unique catches like crashes and instant justice.

Interesting vehicle moves..Great passenger train catches.

I agree--that lighted river-cruise ship and the centerbeams on the Burlington bridge were extra-cool in this one.
Nice hairdo CSX
It seems the residents of La Grange do not understand the concept of a Stop Sign!
They understand it it’s those that aren’t from La Grange that don’t
If I'm ever in Kentucky, remind me to stay clear of the roads!
OR TURN SIGNALS! NEITHER COP SIGNALED! Holycrap!
+@@YourLocalHistorian
Actually, I wonder if for an outsider coming in from the right as we look at it, it's not that obvious that there's a road as well as a railway. So drivers spotting the level crossing paraphernalia, look no further and miss the Stop.
13:13 No apology needed. You got the perfect view!
No one escapes the "eyes" of La Grange!
Honestly, it's as if a significant portion of drivers there don't know what a Stop Sign means.
Man hobos are real good at camouflage. I thought those branches on top of the locomotive were actually part of a tree. 😊😊
@5:55 I thought maybe camouflage for caribou season " Be vewy vewy quiet I'm hunting cawibou".
5:20 - It's the Chia Locomotive.
Good Video. 😊👍
We all know La Grange is a very unique railfanning spot, but also a very unique spot for car crashes
Either something is unique or it is not. There are no degrees of "uniqueness."
*Great Video*

1:58 looks like a new Amtrak train
Seems to be a lot of activities at La Grange 😅
Car on the tracks at Fairport: You can almost hear somebody, "Hey! This isn't La Grange!"
Or Ashland.
Hey Mo Ron 🤪 Here. You were Exceeding the Speed Limit and Ran the Stop 🛑 Sign. 🤪👎
Neither of them stopped. 😂
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 Indeed, both the Speed Limit and the Stop Sign just went merrily on their way.
wonder who's going to say they were in the wrong here. And I wonder if they know it's all on camera.
18:50 Is the FEC now painting unique liveries on each of its locomotives? So many different paint schemes, I can't keep up with them!
New livery. Expect more of the same in the future.
i lovw it!!!
Missed the open cab door on 3257 into Waycross!
So, let me get this straight. The engine at 5:50 was identifying as a tree.
Not exactly... I think it might be an attempt at camouflage!

Nice video keep it up
30:00. Not only a teardrop but in Executive livery!
Where have you been ??? LONG hair is in, just look around. LOL !!! 🤪👍👍👍👍
Ran the stop sign again !!!
Finally!
I was furious you stole my ideas!!!
Now i do not care!!! Have fun!!!
Wait…was that a 3-chime horn on that executive MAC at about 30:13?
The Auto Train was loaded. I think I counted 28 car carriers. A lot of snow birds headed to FL.
I guess CSX is branching out into tree trimming.
At 29:28, it was interesting to see some members of Indiana's Amish Community enjoy some railfan activity!
to me it looks more like they were waiting for a train..

Ayo it’s me at 1:38 in the bottom right!
Hello there 👋
15:30 I'm sure they cannot say that a GPS made them turn. The flatbed was pretty quick though
I don't know. Have you seen the Geico commercial where the people drive through a fence?
@@michaelpiatkowskijr1045 I've had a GPS tell me to go down dirt roads but never turn right onto railroad tracks!
what I don't get is, WHY don't they stop once they're off the road? they keep going forward making things much worse
15:56 When will someone reinvent the Tie-Jector?
Comment 70... 29:30 Amtrak 88 & 99... and dress blues matching Amtrak colors!

I’m convinced most Darwin drivers moved to Lagrange!!!
It seems most incidents I see on this channel happen in LaGrange, so you may be on to something...
CSX 3243 is camouflaged!!!
Would the 2 Peterbilt high rails be considered 2-2-12-2"s
really good
CSX 3243 @ 05:39 --- Notice the dangling light? 🤕
05:30 Same branch line!
First thing you should do when a vehicle on track, there should be a blue sign with toll free # on it plus a # indicating the crossing, call it.
CSX engines wearing hair now LOL
No thought by either driver to turn on hazard blinkers. Poor ol La Grange Some Day. Got' a Build that parking Garage Some day?
0:31 Wait i think i saw almost the exact same boxcar on a foreign power NS train (BNSF)
I love the FEC color scheme. But I see it says Grupo Mexico on the engine. Does that mean that FEC does not own the engine? Or is it being leased to this group?
Grupo Mexico owns the FEC.
14:20 *The GPS said to turn!*
CSX 3243, the OTHER Warbonnet!
What is the 3001 in the background at the NYC Museum in Elkhart?
It's a 4-8-2 L-3a Mohawk.
2 Cars Crashed It.
Apparently someone wasn’t paying attention at last grange 😉
Very Odd to See an Upper Container Door Open. 🤔
See them quite often on the Tucson camera.
you see them broken into all the time at Hesperia
14:21 What exactly was the driver in that car thinking?? Maybe he's unfamiliar with the area.
I don’t get why that keeps happening. Are they blindly following a GPS?
@@lancomedic What I don't get is why they don't simply back up and onto the road.
@@bobcohen4008 I don’t know but I am guessing that the bottom of the car is hung up on the rails and the wheels are not touching the ground. You’ll notice that the tow truck always takes the car away indicating to me that damage has occurred making it undriveable.

You would think they would have learned by now about running that stop sign
Nice Grabbag and catch on NS manifest 126 with Abrams tanks,I subscribe to a Guy that filmed it!🛤🚂
I always knew that Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York are the states with the most Amish people (Wisconsin and Michigan are the other big ones). You could easily be right.
Those bnsf corporate passenger train is always empty no one in there
A new railroad at 3:45, KUNFOX? Must not be expecting a lot of passengers 😅
sounds like an interesting ride...
What happened to the Chehalis cam?
They went with another company.
Why not use concrete sleepers instead of wood ?
14:21 blud thinks he's a hirail 💀
You'd think by now that La Grange would put a traffic light at that corner to minimize the vehicle crashes there.
They won’t. The mayor owns the local body shop.

Auto Train runs every day of the year.
Cities seem to attract a certain kind. The worst are in Washington D.C
Police come out for that minor collision? Don’t expect that in California, you are on your own if you have a minor accident.
Same in the City of St. Louis, MO. They will Only come out if there is an accident with Injuries or a Fatality. 🤪👎
@@kens.3729 The police dept. is 200 ft. down the street( behind) the camera position.
Well the suv did run a stop sign therefore police are coming because he did commit an offense
Oh, La Grange...you and your demented drivers.
alright place your bets everyone how long until they put traffic lights at La Grange?
@@sirenlover100 the tow companies are making a lot of money from those wrecks I don't see anything changing anytime soon

Hi
Hello 👋🏽
When did CSX Diesels start wearing afros? At least it's a nature-al look. 😄
Four way stop. The vehicle on the right goes first. Okay. Explain who is first please?
The pickup was on the car’s right. It has right of way.
Depends on who got there first.
Understood BNSF!
You better start wearing santa fe paint soon or... genetic lessons inbound!!!
