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
15:27 that is my dad
Wow, love the Tribute for Brad, so awesome, Virtual Railfan, a BIG THANK YOU!!!!
Great compilation!
The pink and yellow car were unusual. I like seeing something new.
Great message from Brad. Thanks for hosting the Arvada cam.
Oh this one was a tear jerky! God bless Brad and Brain. Thank you VRF ❤❤
Best of luck Conductor Brian! Thanks for the entertainment!👍
Aww, cute bird!
Congratulations Conductor Brad.
The black and white with the steam engines is very much appreciated. Thanks!
EMD 16-645E6 engines power that towboat named Cooperative Vanguard there at 23:36. Was built in 1982 at Saint Louis, Missouri. It was featured in a January 24, 1983, article in Time Magazine, "Going with the Floe", by Susan Tifft.
The scene at aprox 23:00 of Amtrak on a bridge with a boat on the river was great capture. Big props to the camera operator. Was nice to see Arvada Brad on camera. That's a favorite camera, will have to remember to get to Union Station on a Mon to say thanks.
Beautiful❤
It's great to see that there are still people that love the railroads in spite of the all the Wall Street bean counters and MBA's that wouldn't know a wooden crosstie from a concrete tie.
Never seen a LORAM Tie Replacement Detector but have definitely seen the Paint on the Rails and Ties. 👍
It sure beats walking with a can of spray paint.
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains, especially an adorable Robin in Deshler, Ohio, a ship in Burlington, Iowa, and so much more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
I liked the two BNSF "Heritage" hoppers. The original brown BNSF crosshair and the green BN hopper. I know they're not rare and can be seen often. Still, fun to see them together. Neato! Thanks VR.
The steamers are a fantastic view & favorite of mine..
I didn't know who Conductor Brian was except that I loved his wig-wag routine, but I wish him and Conductor Brad clear roads and sunny skies for their retirements. I also loved and was so touched by the Komen Award car; to a breast cancer survivor that's a very big deal. The robin was beautiful, and I loved the steam-engine meet and the one in Hesperia. The music, as always, was perfect; this entire video was awesome. Thanks, guys! 🌹
That was great. Thanks.
Brian, thanks for the entertainment and best of luck on your new gig!! Brad, we hope to get to see you before you hang up your gear from Philly in Philly!! I don't know how you do it but each video drop is better than the one before!! GREAT WORK!!
Love the robin!
NS ocs had nice lash up with SRR GE ES44AC and EMD SD70ACE VA HU, wish that would have been coming through Roanoke and the Christiansburg District yesterday when I was filming,nice video,Happy 😊 retirement to Brad!🛤🚂
Anyone else notice at 17:33 what seems to be a compliance test on the 2 mains? I might say MOW but they usually use orange cones. Now to the important stuff...Godspeed, Brad and best wishes, Brian...
Southern and Virginian is a dream team
Congratulations Brian!
At 24:00..wow seeing these steam engines reminds me of my grandfather when he worked on the railroad.
What a great Grab Bag!
Showing the steam engines at Paradise in black and white was a nice touch!
Norfolk Southern getting train ready for The Masters golf tournament.
Where are they going to disembark in Augusta?
@@joelcheek3494 ….There is a small yard in Augusta with sidings. Security is kept tight and I am guessing both CSX and NS have transportation to and from Augusta National. There are some Utube videos that capture the trains pulling into the yard.
@@stephenbroughman3231 thanks. I lived there for 14 years and never heard of either RR bringing passengers to Augusta.
I was wondering why they were showing so much lately. Very cool
Thank you Brad. This is my favorite view.
One of the Best GBags ever!!
That’s us at 16:30!! Life goal achieved!! 😊
Wishing all the best to our conductor friends. Thanks to them both.
I actually like those NS eco how they are painted. Very nice grab bag
Thank you for hosting the camera Brad! What a great message from a wonderful person. For the few times I've run into you in Denver, and the two times I've been to your place on the hill with Alex, have all been pleasant memories!
You also bring a lot of joy to so many people! Enjoy a well-deserved retirement, and as we railroaders say, HIGHBALL!
Good luck in your new job Brian from all the lurkers worldwide, Scotland in this case.
I rode the Ski Train several times to Winter Park many years ago. Best of luck to you. I too am retiring this year
Good luck to you!
0:20 NS 645 is a slugged geep was actually built on a new frame and not a rebuild of a single old unit, while NS 6712 is a GP33ECO rebuilt from a Southern GP50
0:57 ALC42s 356 and 354 on the California Zephyr. What happened to 355?
2:36 ex-Amtrak orange MOW gondolas carrying large stones

9:27 SP gray as mid-train DPU
10:37 a single SD70ACe pulling a welded rail train
12:10 NS 8099 and 1069 pulling a 19-car OCS. Norfolk Southern recently returned the two SD60Es that used to pull the OCS to freight service and will now cycle heritage units to pull the OCS (again at 20:00)
13:09 this loram hi-rail truck is marking ties to be replaced. Glad to know that nobody has to step onto the tracks and spray them by hand.
14:14 a geep on a local job returns home with a BN green caboose
14:46 CSX OCS in Ashland
15:26 Metro-North Conrail heritage unit

23:19 California Zephyr passing a river barge after clearing the bridge
24:00 WOW! Strasburg 475 and 89 were both at Paradise at the same time! I believe 475 just dropped off some freight cars, one of the few places in the world where a steam engine still move revenue freight.
25:57 and now Colorado Commentary with Brad. When I was in Fraser in 2021, I watched the Zephyr come in and out as much as I could during that trip, and one of the conductors was a friend of one of my Mom's friends!
27:57 and another Amtrak conductor is beginning a new chapter in their life!
Nice work Brad and Brian, may you be blessed as you move forward!
16:49 Now there's a container you won't forget quickly. I wonder what colors the doors and the other side are painted? Jacksonville Container Container Co, I'd like one in N scale. Sad that the lettering can't be read.
Thank you Brad from the UK 🇬🇧 I enjoy virtual railfan and the views too!
Very nice tributes!!!
I like the Cryo-Trans cars
Ah yes my favorite railroad CSXX Or CCSX
Cool video
Great trains, f/VA
Awesome vid
Good Morning VR & VRFANS🙂I missed this yesterday, so I'm catching up this morning..Such a Beautiful Morning with all the🚂🚃, and the❤🐦..
hello Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Thanks for you services Brian
Interesting lash ups.
8:30 CSX 136 looked like it was trying an april's fool prank by pretending to be a steam locomotive and pretending to be from CSXX. It wasn't fooling us.
I need to see one of those rail carrying cars in person up close n personal! I need to see how they operate?
😳
Do a search, many videos show how the rail is pulled off and left behind.
Get those flatcars some Prozac!
Nice video.
Wonderful tributes to the Amtrak conductors. I love the human touch (waving) every Bag!
Thanks Virtual Railfan for the tribute to Brad. I am sorry the are discontinuing the UP Winter Park train. I hope Brad shows up more on camera. BTW.. I saw an electrician either replacing or adding addional cameras at the Belen NM railyard. He said he was doing the work for VirRailfan. I always thought another camera would be good north of the Fred Harvey House and/or at the New Mexico Railrunner Station. Or on the curve where the triple track leaves the yard "westbound" going up the hill leaving Belen. Sorry for the non related comments... Happy Retirement Brad
Primo ,comunque sempre un ottimo lavoro 👍💪👏
201 metro north looking good
13:07, weird that it has a Minnesota plate in Ashland, Virginia.
Loram is a Minnesota company.
@@jpleva9987 makes sense
Oh, Brad. You will be missed. All the best to you.
21:00 Wonder where that CA Zephyr dome car sandwiched between those two baggage cars are headed, hopefully to preservation.
It is preserved. It belongs to Railexco, a railroad equipment leasing company. The baggage cars serve as buffers in case of collision when in transit.
Is the camera in Brads garden ? if so what a view !
Did the OCS go through folkston Georgia yet?
You missed the Inspection train on the CSX in Princeton Indiana
Another great Virtual Railfan Grab Bag as always and i like
watching trains thanks.🇺🇲🇨🇦🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲🇨🇦
Smokey Alco? Those GEs were smoking, unless it’s the steamer. VR needs to go to Scranton PA for Alcos and MLWs. Bridge 60 is a good place to catch operations, especially if the walkway to the Steamtown Mall is open, makes a good viewing platform. Maybe also check out the Arkansas and Missouri for Alcos.
1:17 is it just me that almost every sing sc 42 is always being towed
It's just you. They're offline. It's called an equipment move.
1:17 Two brand-new ALC-42s being transferred from the factory to Delaware for acceptance testing. There are quite a few trains running ALC-42s only, but it's no longer unusual, so you probably won't see them in Grab Bags.
5:40 looks like a Robin has a Red Underbelly but has some Really Dark Wings yep that looks like a Robin
For those of you who live in Pennsylvania ask the members of the Strasburg Railroad to try a double header
They have done it in the past for special photo excursions
Have a great Retirement Brad
And all so God speed
Brad - may you enjoy retirement in good health. Brian - congratulation on your promotion to engineer.
What they spraying for?
Marking defective ties for removal.
The NS passenger train is more beautiful the the CSX.
Hello everyone! Can someone please tell me what the things are at 18:50? I noticed they are always highlighted in the grab bag videos. Thank you!
Why do you have the part 24:00 in black & white?
17:04 tracks no longer go thru Arthur, ND
removed 2012 to 2013 booooo
Best wishes on your retirement!
0:05 Left side of screen. Any idea on what the guy in the orange shirt is doing walking across Middlebury Street? He sure looked like a Darwin wannabe.
Uhh it appears that this individual wishes to cross Middlebury Street, but I could be wrong.
NS cares about the environment? Hilarious.
