    Another awesome Grab Bag. Really cool machine at Horseshoe Curve. Those Darwins make me scream at my TV every single time, and it's usually something I can't put as a comment. Spooky shadow.

Recently saw one my area who left his car in the low tidal area here in Coastal south Carolina I guess he didn't know the tide comes in twice a day! And flooded over the roof line with a lot of onlookers. Who buys a brand new $50k Camaro with only basic liability 👺 he was only 20 I think his name was Darwin! Ahh yes to be two thirds younger again 😅

    C.P. should really put a pedestrian overpass at that crossing in Revy. They sometimes block it for up to two hours. We all know there is an overpass about a kilometre away but that is then a 2 K walk. Saskatchewan is taxing railroad property frontage at normal business tax rates I believe. If B.C. did that it would help fund railway related issues as well.

    0:14 NS 1067 trailing over Horseshoe Curve
    0:24 Amtrak ballast train!
    1:03 unusual flatcar which I think is used for carrying switch sections. A Boston and Maine hopper is on the same train
    1:30 CP heritage on a BNSF coal train along with a CSX DPU
    1:53 CP Military unit 6644 as mid-train DPU
    2:28 NS 8104 trailing
    2:38 ALC42 334 trailing through Ashland
    2:48 N&W 475
    3:12 four Ferromex SD70ACes trailing (again at 6:37)
    3:36 NS scale test car along with NS 4000 as DPU over Horseshoe Curve
    4:00 trimming trees along the curve too
    4:38 switching job at TVRM. I'm not sure how often this line carries freight, as it stretches all the way into Georgia
    6:02 It's rare to see Darwins in Chehalis
    6:49 AGPX 8323 is a GP10 that was rebuilt by the Illinois Central. It has worked in St. joesph, Missouri for many years prior to repainting
    7:23 C-17 Globemaster! This is the Air force's large transport aircraft and I think I heard it fly over when I was at work that day
    7:55 five KCS SD70MACs (two in gray) that have been sold off to PRLX. I guess those ex-BNSF C44-9Ws took over their work.
    9:35 this emergency stop takes 42 seconds to completely stop the train. 23 cars pass by too. Someone sneaks between those cars and past the conductor.
    11:08 Take back what I said last time, this is the dumbest Darwin VRF has caught so far! Train is still moving and he risks getting crushed by the wheels!
    11:27 three cars moving about on La Grange's main street while a train approaches and waits. They need to ban parking on this street
    13:18 Rocky Mountaineer reversing and changing tracks. Said station (yard offices) are 3000 feet east of this camera
    13:58 I knew I was right in that it was some other Street View map's car!
    14:50 DOUBLE HERITAGE! 100 "Midnight" and 108 "Red-Head" on the Lake Shore limited!
    15:26 NS 8102 came by a few minutes before the Amtrak in the previous clip did
    15:48 NS, CN and BC Rail triple-header
    16:12 TRE cab car in the middle of a mixed freight
    16:27 CSX 1850, L&N heritage, as mid-train DPU
    16:50 Loram ballast machine with the mid-train DPU. Pan-Am boxcar follows
    17:15 It's been awhile since I've seen one of the CEFX maroon! NS bought 10 of these 40 units (again at 19:04)

    Liberals would use this as a excuse to get rid of trains.

    Once again these “Darwin awards” are absolutely nowhere near an actual incident. Maybe if the trains didn’t sit on crossings for hours people wouldn’t be so inclined to hop them. Still waiting for an actual example of a close call with someone hopping over a train.
