Song: “Big Sur” by Roy Edwin Williams
I don't normally comment, but when I saw USS LST 325 I had to call my son. I wasn't sure about the number. My son's grandpa, my father-in-law, served on USS LSt 325 in WWII. Pretty exciting to, kind of, see this boat on Virtual Railfan. I am a big enthusiast of trains, maybe not as big as some, but I have always loved trains. I am subscribed and I have been watching your channel for just over a year I think. I love America and I love my freedom. The rails of this country are a part of what has made us great.
So glad you are on board! My Father served on a LST, so you know it caught my eye. Make sure you look up LST 325, you can tour it, it's a beauty!
While we're talking family who were on LST, Dad was on LST 1126, Snohomish County, in early 1960s. It was in commission 1945 to 1970. He tells of being in a storm at sea with it empty and standing in the cargo area ('Well deck'?) watching the hull flex from the wave action. That is not odd considering an LST of that era was basically just a floating box with a couple engines. Dad wasn't much of a railfan until we had chance to go inside an E8 in the 1980s and its two EMD 567 engines turned out to be the same type engines the LST had.
I'll be sure to tell my friend about a grab bag he will like it good job
The ending - Nice sunset. Thank you.
Pleased to see Ft Madison coverage of museum ship USS LST 325 (Landing Ship Tank) based in Evansville, IN now in midst of her annual 3 wk inland waterway cruise as she is a fully operational almost 80 year old memorial.
A veteran of the Italian invasion as well as D-Day she has some railroad tie ins. Several LSTs were equipped with railroad tracks so at D-Day Normandy they could land rail equipment thru their bow doors to a nearby rail line connection for use in the invasion operations. Also notably each LST was powered by 2 EMD V-12 567 A Block diesels, the same as used in early EMD locomotives!
Thank You for that information. So many brave souls have walked her (and other LSTs). We are forever indebted to them.
@@joepeach997 are you a member of virtual railfan?
I loved that panorama shot pf Big 10 Curve at rhe end with downtown Denver in the distance. It was great! I haven't been back to Colorado for more than 20 years; I miss it a lot.
That Santa Fe "Yellow Bonnet" at 3:43 was also nice to see. Not many of those around anymore. Someday, I hope BNSF will bring out three heritage units with all three of Santa Fe's "bonnet" locomotives. Sure would be nice to see!
Also, that piece of music at the end, "Big Sur," was a perfect companion to end the video. It was very inspiring; thank you for sharing that. I found it on Amazon Music and added it to my playlist. 👍
My dad served on LST 1101 in WW2, 1101 was built in Evansville In.
My respect and thanks to your Father.
thanks👍 @@joepeach997
The bridge "swivel" in Fort Madison ... what nice little bonus! Always something interesting going on ... great videos, lots of work putting them together, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing! [Greetings from Tucson where we've got one really nice train depot and museum!]
Nice video and shot of Conductor switching track and removing derail in WA,and Amtrak in Roanoke!🛤🚂
Love The Yellow Caboose 😊
DODX is government markings and they usually travel with other government cars such as ones carrying nuclear waste or nuclear weapons.
Thanks for another great Grab Bag. Liked the switching sequence at Chehalis and wonder which is the other Railroad that connects there, please? And at last, a Darwin dressed for the occasion.
The Arvada scene at the end; stunning beauty and great music.
Great grab bag
What a great grab, the outro music is awesome and so many things to watch
Love the "runaround" at Chehalis - excellent view of the "lift frog" in action. The light is just right at 18:02 to show the wheel lifting above the rail
BN and the Santa Fe merged over two decades ago and they still have engines in the old colors. 4:00
Great Musical Sunset In Arvada 🎼🌅
hello virtual railfan it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
At the end of the video at Arvada, it looks like there was a lot of air traffic at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. Nice catch.
Salutări din Marea Britanie👋👋👋🇬🇧🇬🇧😀
Greetings, glad to have you here!
Hey there is a Buckeye and little buckeye. !!!!!😊
Kudos to CSX for getting into the Heritage schemes, albeit three quarters of the locos. Now if we can only convince the "Oracle of Omaha" to turn in the nine decals and paint those schemes on the actual locomotives!
11:48 that’s a military caboose! DODX markings!
No graffiti on that caboose...
Nice BlueBonnet catch.
Another great video of Grab Bag even with
Darwin Candidates on it.🤠👍
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
Its always nice to seen green BN units still on the roster with BNSF. I was a young railfan when BN and ATSF merged; at the time I lived near a decent ATSF yard, and that yard is still in service
Another great one
Agree
Headline: "Train gets through La Grange without incident!"
*Awesome Catches*
Keep it going, I saw 1869 at St Denis in Arbutus, MD, the symbol is I031
LST 325 based in Evansville, Indiana, where my son works for CSX😊
Good Grab Bag video once again VR.
Nice great crew in the up ace!
I hope we never "catch" some Darwin Candidate NOT making it to safety.
I agree
I couldn't agree with you more!
With the amount of Darwin's appearing to increase it's only a matter of time until someones luck eventually runs out on camera unfortunately. Hopefully it doesn't happen too soon.
@@Xpninjadan It recently happened, in Elkhart I heard
Sadly it does happen occasionally, they just don't put it on the Grab Bag.
The LST is great to see thank you
Darwin for sure, but what bad planing that a train has to park across a crossing? Suppose it was a fire truck try to get through to save someone’s life. I remember that in a signal control cabin I was in once that there were notes on signals saying do not hold train here, the idea being to use a previous signal so a crossing is not blocked.
Probably the best looking Darwin candidate.
6:58 I had a feeling that surviving BC Rail C44-9WL would make it into a Grab Bag.
Was that one of the BC locomotives with the "Draper Taper?" I couldn't tell.
It's funny, I was actually in Revelstoke when that happened. I was down the street eating lunch. I saw the train there but I didn't see her jump it.
Lol the picture under the restroom sign
I plan to tour LST 325 in La Crosse Wi. this upcoming Saturday and railfanning from my hotel balconey in Trempealeau.
Please give a salute to all the honorable men that walked her deck.
I swear, the darwains really go through great links to put themselves in horrible danger from what I've seen throughout these compilations -_-
Aside from that these are amazing videos, I always look forward to them so I can see the great and instresting things the cameras pick up : )
4:20 Talk about perfect timing with those two stack cars framing that surviving MoPac covered hopper. Great job you guys 👍👍.
I wonder how many people got the Amtrak 54 reference?
I know where that reference came from. I may be 37 years old but I have seen quite few classic TV shows from the 60s and 70s.
Toody,and Muldoon strike again! Definitely,someone in your crew,is dating themselves! The late great Fred Gwenn[?],was an all around actor,who also starred in the Munsters! Memories!! Thank you 😇 😊!!
LOL, I was hoping many. Our main age group is 45 and over. But, the young are coming up strong, and that is a wonderful thing!
Excellent Video!!
🚂🍀🇮🇳🍀🚂
I caught that CSX C&O Heritage Unit in Kenly, he was late, didn't get to me until about 10pm that Saturday and a little bit later, I caught CSX Seaboard System Heritage Unit leading I032
4:26 ... between the Containers
5:39 I saw that one live on camera
Can u put a cams at Clark’s Bears, Winnepesaukee Scenic Railroad/Hobo Railroad, Cog Railway and Conway Scenic Railroad as well? When are U gonna do it?
Chehalis never disappoints.
I have that BNSF covered hopper car in HO scale! It’s also the same buffer car! 7:07 19:35
12:00 ‘65 Mercury Comet in Chehalis
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
That bad frog at Chehalis is gonna come back to haunt someone
"Darwin's" are my favorite part of the grab bag.
They are multiplying. 😂😂😂
Wow that lady who crossed the tracks and a train not smart. She couldn't wait for the train to go by. Yep unfortunately she's a Darwin candidate.
keeps this up and one time will be her last time.
GOD WHEN WILL THESE DARWINS COME TO THEIR SENSES!!!!!!
Question ... When they spray paint those autoracks with graffiti does the paint filter thru to the new vehicles inside ?
Not usually. Loaded vehicle cars are handled pretty expeditiously, so they don't stop long enough for vandals to get at them, and especially not in cities. They will be at an auto facility that is heavily secured, or in a railyard that is similarly secured with a lot of bright lighting and crew activity. Aside from that, the "artists" of graffiti, the ones who paint the really impressive stuff, have their own code of.... less-than-honor, where they won't tag the actual freight, reasoning that doing so costs people money. For the record, tagging freight cars also costs people money, because then we have to repaint them for like $50,000 a pop, but your average graffiti painter doesn't know that.
What Happened To This Union Pacific Engine In 7:37 ?
Derailment
@@NS_1073 What Location Derailment At ?
@@csxisaiahjonesproductions2290 not sure but I guess in pennsy
The Darwin winner of 2023..really..
Question; Why do some Conductors flash a light at the camera? I see it often, but never know why.
It’s hard to see a hand waving at night, so they wiggle their flashlight at the camera.
They’re just waving at the camera!
thank you!! @@macmedic892
Does anybody know why sometimes you'll see a freight train with a couple of old passenger cars on the back of it? I've noticed that a couple of times in these videos.
6:02
Worker opens the door at 10:34, to 'air things out a bit'....Must have been 'Taco Tuesday'.
Amtrak 54…😂😂😂
I hope I never “catch” any Darwin Candidates not making it to safety
Love seeing the USS LST 325
Big Sandy gets ignored again. It had 3 heritage units go through over the weekend, with a meet between two of them and on went through twice and not a peep. UP1111, NS8100 and NS8099 all went through. UP1111 and NS8100 had a meet, also NS8100 went through twice. And we told a mod about all of them.
6:15 Once again she would make one less Canadian in the world and that's a good thing. LOL
🙊🙉🙈🤨☹️ You're the only one LOL'ing.
Notice she never even looks both ways before crossing the tracks. Toot toot splat.
Oh no! A wasp is attacking the train ! ha ha Get off the camera ! Down in front !
Saying "Darwin Candidate" is meaningless. Darwin Award Candidate.
Where is all the fossil fuel going to ? Export?
Export/import, mostly. With the price caps and regulations of Bidenomics, we're back to the days of fossil fuels being more profitable to ship overseas for sale or refining, hence the massive bulk shipments of fuel oils we've been handling. Under Trump's deregulation, most interstate shipping could be handled by trucks, since a single fuel truck will supply a gas station for a week or so. Most refining is done on the coasts, right next to the enormous boats that take multiple train loads to fill, and they have pipelines there. Inland, the large wellsprings have their own refineries. But if the wells are shut down or have their capacity artificially reduced, it's cheaper to ship crude to the larger, operational, and profitable refineries on the coasts. Same thing happened under Obama, and before that, Carter.
