At 8:03, nice look at a common bird, the European Starling. Their bills turn yellow during the breeding season.

[@joeylawn36111]

Good pic, but the Starling is an Invasive Species that are more aggressive than native birds, taking up nest sites from other birds. They also can damage crops, fly in large flocks that can disrupt jet aircraft engines, and can spread Histoplasmosis.

Once again, thanks for the 57 Varieties of Freight Cars tonight VRF. Also, the Switching at Cocoa Fl. was good to see and the Shortline at Chehalis. But I loved seeing BJRY 1501 at Burlington, doing just what she was built to do.

NS 'Lackawanna' Heritage Unit and CSX 'Pere Marquette' Heritage Units both looking pretty pristine. The Burlington Junction switcher looks mighty sharp in dress red and white.

Wow! Excellent catching all the in multiple locations, especially the UP military train in Hesperia, California, an adorable raccoon in Fort Madison, Iowa, Heritage Units, and so much more, I like them, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

Well pickup truck driver did have the red light 🚦

[@MatthewSimon4330]

did Virtual railfan submit the footage to the police?

[@leonarddeberry7104]

I disagree, the semi had the red light and it was waiting. So the pickup driver had the green light and the car ran the red, in my opinion.

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

Interesting might have had a longer light

[@Nderak]

we can see the lights in the video. pickup entered on yellow 2 seconds before it turned red. the sedan ran a red or is exteremly dumb to try and accerelate towards a red light hoping it turns green before you enter the intersection

[@danacampbell-vu2ut]

As usual you have captured a wonderful storm with lightning! AWESOME!!!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️⚡⚡⚡⚡👍❤️📹😃

16:16 that is the Inland Plywood Company which makes plywood products, and they regularly have boxcars delivered. I don't know if they are delivering plywood or being loaded with plywood products.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

Amfleet I cars are only good for 125 mph. Only Acela is allowed up to 150 mph. At least that was true last I heard.

[@joepeach997]

You are correct, our info was wrong.

[@Wildfire86872]

LOL passenger train with a DPU at the beginning :P Looking at the accident; I think the car was at fault too. Sure the truck was in the intersection on a red, but all lights stay red for a few seconds before changing, so that car was intending on running the red regardless.

[@lancomedic]

I think heritage paint schemes are one of the best things the railroads have done. In the modern age of unit trains and graffiti covered boxcars it has made train watching exciting again.

[@joeylawn36111]

16:00 Anyone else think those cars were derailed? And 150 MPH is the speed which I would run away from that Skunk (24:30).... 😉🙃😷

[@johnstafford4304]

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Hi Rocky!🐾🐾🤎

[@skylordawesome9547]

9:55 Unbelievably, this one is 50/50, although the truck did run the red, it looks like the grey car actually ran the red too? The light technically wouldn't have gone green yet for the other sides. Jumping the green I guess?

[@ChainsawNW1218]

So much main line action, BNSF motor was blasting out diesel exhaust/rolling coal!🛤🚂

[@donnaj9964]

150 mph??? Holy wow! I had no idea that KCS de Mexico was a thing until I looked it up just now, and while I was at it I looked up the "kitty litter" cars...yup: full of kitty litter. I thought it might be some kind of railroading in-joke...I'm glad the Kearney starling appeared to be okay after brushing the cam, really enjoyed the OKC lightning, and absolutely *loved* the wave-boogity-boogity-boogity at 1:22! Another great one---thank you!

...Are you QUITE certain those Amfleets were doing 150? Because I really can't tell.

[@joepeach997]

Sorry, we had some bad info, more likely 125 or less.

[@bowlinerailfan]

These cameras must be a great help to the police when they record the car crashes. Officer: "Are you going to stick with that story?" Driver: Yes sir! The other driver ran the red light. I'm suing him for all he's worth. I'm on the phone with my lawyer now." Officer: "Oh, really? According to Virtual Railfan, you ran the red light while talking on your phone after you blew across the active railroad crossing." Driver: "Uhh...uhh..." Lawyer on phone: "Don't say another word. And expect a big bill from me."

[@axxeminister]

One of them is probably very late, so they run them together so that both trains can occupy the same block, making up time

[@rodhard688]

Amtrak Regional does not do 150, Acela does.

[@timjackson6311]

Looks like someone doesn't know what a red light means😳

[@tunes699moon2]

Both vehicles at fault. Car looked like he was taking a big chance pre-guessing the light.

[@SMichaelDeHart]

Clearly the light was red before the pickup crossed the stop line. Trucks mostly at fault. You might argue speed on the car, but depending on type of insurance in that state.

[@AaronTrain7960]

The car accidentally speed fast through the red light and the truck should of stopped at the red light and got an accident

[@SMichaelDeHart]

Actually, if you slow it down a zoom in, the red light changed from yellow to red for the white pickup. He ran the red...trucks at fault. Depending upon the state insurance law, if Contribulatory Negligent, you might argue speed on the car, but the car did have the legal right of way.

[@anb7408]

I know that intersection VERY well. And trust me, people run that red light all day long.
