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"! - Zábava
gotta love the tie replacement
Nice footage of MOW equipment working!🛤🚂
I use to run the same machine when I worked for Sunbelt Railroad. Thanks for the vid!
Awesome grab bag! I feel like Mike Rowe should have narrarated the tie replacement in Ashland. Lol
They sure seem to have a lot of restored/kept up vintage cars in Chagall!!
Truly, truly amazing watching that track renewal segment at Ashland VA. Thank you, thank you...👍👍
Corvair Ragtop right off the bat. Nice. I bet that guy setting down the ties wins every time at the Crane Game at the fair.
Nobody wins those crane games - they’re Rigged…..
Great Grab Bag ! Hats Off To The CSX Mow Crew job Well Done! Good Musical Performance!
The ponderous delicacy of the track-repairing equipment was simply fascinating--and the music was (as always!) perfect. The parade of MOW equipment was pretty cool too, and it's always nice to see the Rocky Mountaineer. Thanks for another great one!
Thank you for the super close-up shots of new ties replacing the old. Beautiful long shots to let us really enjoy seeing the skill those MOV folks have in doing a great job. Best VR repair shots ever!
Watching the replacement of ties is a fascinating way to spend a few minutes!. The inventive machinery that does most of the work is something to behold. It is yet another tribute to human beings' creativity at is most useful.
Wow, fascinating to watch the railroad tie replacement. My great-great grandmother used to work laying down railroad ties. That was back in the early 1900s, so they didn't have this kind of equipment to do the hard work.
3:24 Needs March of the valkyries playing
Thanks for the mow equipment I like to watch mow equipment working on the railroad 😊
That was very interesting to watch the tie replacement.
One of the best GB's I've seen in a while. Love the MOW parade and the construction shots. Thank you.
MOW parades always take me back to Close Encouters of the Third Kind when all those ships came into the scene, pretty far out...the rollout of CSX 1875 led by another heritage is sick! Who'dve thunk fusion jazz would pair so well with tie replacement...I digress. Happy Days VRF.
Reminds me of Shriners.
I could sit and watch the MOW all day long! So very interesting! Thanks for another great Grab Bag!😍
Sweet Corvair. Those are rare these days.
Speed and great job of CSX for Ashland !👍😎❤️
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
Wow love Ashland Thanks VRF ❤
That was really interesting. Loved it. Thanks.
Wow Thats Cool Huh Virtual Railfan?
15:11 Kansas City Southern in western NY.
10:34, It's CSX 1875 the P&LE heritage unit! That is so cool!
Ok I should know this answer... but P & LE is? (Pennsylvania and Lake Erie?)
@moore4807 Close-Pittsburgh & Lake Erie, a long time NYC subsidiary.
Wow, what a great look at a well-coordinated tie replacement project. Great close-ups and long shots, too!
Is cool how they continue to the lines of white on each car
That's on the rocky Mountaineer
It would be cool to ride on the side of the car like the workers "riding the shove" but my backside would take out a few crossing arms along the way Lol
Always impressed and fascinated see that equipment work. Awesome job featuring that. Thanks!
Nice AEM-7 you guys caught
MOW races in Covington! ALLRIGHT!😂
2:36 Invasion of the MOW.
*Awesome Catches*
Danbury is north and west of the CT cam.
Another magnificent evening of watching trains on
VR Grab Bag especially on a Friday evening thank you.
🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲
Nice Catch.👍🏽
2:37 - ("Ride of the Valkyries" plays.)
Nice Highlight Video
The invasion of MOW !
Interesting the two different shades of blue sky at OK at 10:20.
Nice Catches tonight, thanks VRF. I liked the snow on the Mountains at Revelstoke - almost like a Hollywood Backscene.
Missouri Eastern is another one for me to check-out, as well as CP 2227
those heritage units sure do look amazing, plus they are all freshly painted and clean. So many locos look like they've been sprayed in acid, rolled in mud and set on fire.
I know they are probably done with the replacement after this grab bag, but could I suggest a complete video with music from start to finish?
Just wondering
Why is only one spike hammered thru the tie plate into the ties when there’s two holes in the plate?
Nice Corvair
MOW workers are some of the hardest working people I know. This was a fascinating optic pov. Thank you.
An uncle of mine, since deceased, worked MOW back before it was so highly mechanized. He hired on with the New York Central in the early 50s, through Penn Central, and finally retiring from Conrail.
🎤Well Buzz-Buzz-Buzz goes the bunbull bee
🎤Well I' ve seen beauty of the red,the Katy
🎤But great of yours job
Soundtrack credit for Ashland MOW? Love it, trackwork dancing to the music.
I was hoping the toaster would make the grab bag.
They might do the same at Hermitage since the other day I saw a Whole bunch of em Pull up 2:47 bc this is what happened to me when I was at Hermitage
That blue car was cutting it close with the white pickup. And if anything went wrong with that track work in Ashland, the crew would fit to be "tied".
That was a Chevy Corvair; the car that Ralph Nader pronounced to be "Unsafe at any Speed".
@@maynardcarmer3148 yep , and how did a guy that had never held a driver's license get to be an expert on cars ?
@bobbrinkerhoff3592
He's a lawyer, and aren't they experts on everything?
Its too bad you couldn't play "Ride of the Valkyries" for the MOW parade at 3:00. Bummer. Opportunity lost.
Why is that jump in the Frog at Chehalis
It's called a lift frog, the siding traffic wheel flanges go up and over the main rail, that way the main line doesn't have a gap in the main rail like a conventional frog would have. Eliminating the main rail gap allows higher speeds, no "clack clack" noise, and less maintenance versus a gapped rail that would be pounded into oblivion with high traffic.
When was the last time they did MOW work in LaGrange?
❤🤝
11:44 Question: The worker hanging on the car - How does he alert the conductor if there’s a problem? Hard to grab a radio when you’re hanging on like that….
That is the conductor and he will be using his radio to give car counts and other information to the engineer.
@@r_mon_e How does he use the radio then? Very carefully, I'm assuming.
@@joeylawn36111 yes he has to hold on with one arm and use the radio with the other while watching out for slack. Sometimes conductors ride the point for a few miles and do it in any kind of weather.
@@r_mon_e Thanks.
At 13:00, the flashing light doesn't seem to be part of an EOT. What sort of device is this?
Looks like a red flashing led to act like a rear marker instead of a flag.
A lot of conductors will carry these for added visibility on shoving moves, or when shoving back to stationary equipment at night to be able to see the equipment and judge distances more easily.
Would like to contact you via e-mail with a question about good rail locations. Is that possible. With thanks.
Why do you have a camera at Princeton when you don't show anything
There have been numerous clips from Princeton.
Incredible 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Why don't they just hook all those m o w equipment together and make a single train it would probably save a little fuel
This video of the repair work in Ashland was taken at around 2am. I was there from noon until 3pm that day and the work was still going on. Multiple in-town crossings were closed, creating an incredible traffic hassle!
6:33 *I Saw Amtrak ALC42 Charger 300 Over A Year Ago*
Yeah It Was Damaged
Was that the one that got national attention after hitting a dump truck?
The bad thing about having all those classic vehicles in Chehalis, is that when the Cascadia Subduction zone tears loose, everything west of I-5 "will be toast." I pray that the owners of said classic vehicles live east of I-5.
First, please add a cam in Rockledge or Miami fL
Have to give details on their website.
