BUNGALOW CATCHES FIRE! “SNOOT NOSED” ENGINE, OWL, “HI TOP” CARS, PHASE VII ENGINES & MORE!

[@donnaj9964]

That owl! Oh my--that OWL!!! So gorgeous!!! I also enjoyed the mini-parade at Cumberland, and it was neat to see several engineers honk at people who waved at them. It's a little thing but it means a lot. Kudos to the firefighters at the bungalow, and a big hello to the Italians; it looked as if they were having the time of their lives and I hope they get to see a lot while they're here. Thanks for another great one, guys!

Nice Grabbag VRF, saw the Illinois Terminal EMD SD70ACE on the point of a manual in Roanoke Eastbound a couple of days ago, nice shot of great horned owl 🦉!🛤🚂

[@tytn9978]

Thank You for the OWL ... my totem animal!!

[@KyleSmith-267]

Owl did some railfanning as he was mouse fanning

[@irishknt]

How can you not smile when a family finds joy waving at a camera sharing a hobby. I think the owl was a little camera shy, didn't want to reveal it's hunting technique.

[@GregKenyon-v6i]

Fantastic catches and like the owl

[@gp3829]

Thanks for the rare Freight-cars tonight VRF, also 'Illinois Terminal', at Roanoke. Those Speeders at Cumberland looked good.

A big wave to my waving neighbor in Jonesboro, TN at the Depot Museum.

[@SMichaelDeHart]

14:30 The Spirit of Gradton, West Virginia. VRF needs to put a camera on Grafton Yard!!

[@callen2858]

I think that at 0:48 the engineers tapped the brakes and the noise was from the couplers pushing together; the train seemed to slow down afterwards.

[@bowlinerailfan]

I've been wondering what company the blue locomotives between the regular Rocky Mountaineer were from. Thank you @VirtualRailfan for letting us know. I'm assuming they're there to help the regular locomotives.

[@trainglen22]

Impressed to see an ex Santa Fe snoot SD40-2!

[@Branddenthepinkgoldpeachfan]

*Awesome Catches*

[@steveperry3572]

Big 10 curve, I’m sure the Rocky Mountaineer was checking to make sure no tramps were on the cargo cars.

[@ThePhilmaywalt]

Ciao Italianos... My heritage!!

[@jacobdubielak]

It sounded like something on the bnsf railroad grain train popped

[@brucewortmann6835]

You missed a good one from the 14th at Ashland. 21:06 - Cat crossing, 21:07 Fire Engine JUST makes crossing before the lights and gates.

[@jessegreywolf]

that poor owl getting messed by IR while hunting Great grab bag as usual

[@michellemcdaniel209]

Excellent!

[@kittty2005]

@0:50 what you hear when the independent brake is momentarily applied without the train brakes, I would guess it was a mistake.

[@Yormsane]

Fantastic catch of the owl, was that with an infra-red camera?

[@johnwalters1341]

It was a Great Horned Owl, our largest (and one of the most common) owl species. Don't know about the camera...

[@wayneneher6362]

Hey, VR....are there any cameras up here in Alaska you can access?

[@RobertSweet-nw4tm]

Some freight wagons have extensive and sometimes quite artistic graffiti. I suspect that an analysis of all of their individual route histories will show a common record of having all spent time in one particular freight marshalling yard. I wonder which yard that might be? It would be likely to have a more lax security regime than others. 😎

[@NorthernNightmare2012]

The slam means it hit the breaks

[@FirstName-hr8jr]

Am I supposed to buy stock in the refrigerator car fleet or something? 😂
