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"!

13:20 no fabric can can show us what we have compared to this. Thank you VRF and thank you to the men and women who have fought to make our flag so special. God bless you.

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

We fought to keep this Country free and will continue to do so. The Flag represents the Freedoms we enjoy that no other place on Earth enjoys.

13:20 What a way to end a Grab Bag by honoring our many men and women that have had made sacrafices to protect and serve our country! Virtual Railfan, this Grab Bag is my top favorite. I'm 21 right now and I always thank veterans who have fought to protect our faithful flag! #ThankYouForYourService from me and have a happy holidays!

Hats off to the person operating the forklift while rerailing that hopper car. But that was a close call with the person at 6:44 standing in front of the hopper car while being moved.

[@kennethhanks6712]

A similar act, walking right in front of moving car, happened at this location on VR some time ago.

I liked the scene at Skykomish @5:35. Some good Freight Roster Rarities again tonight, including the Corinth & Counce boxcar at Covington, thanks VRF.

Wow! Great catching all the trains, especially the military trains, heritage units, the Star-Spangled banner, and more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you.

Thanks for all the beautiful scenes, panoramas, and towns your cameras capture.

[@genegober2666]

Loved, loved, loved the ending honoring our military and first responders. The Corinth and Counce boxcar is a hometown boxcar. I live between both Corinth, Ms and Counce, Tn

Only one spreader instead of two 4:02 the Amtrak switchers again. 4:27 I'm glad Virtual Railfan has become so important to La Grange, it has an ornament on the town's Christmas tree 4:55 extra Spuerliner in front of the baggage on the Empire builder 5:15 old Santa Fe white cylindrical hopper, like the one in the big Bachmann set 5:27 BN coil car 5:50 the empty hopper gets derailed when being switched in Waupaca. A forklift rerails it. 7:18 MOW vehicles crossing the Mississippi 8:00 new yellow CPKC autoracks! I'm still surprised the only regular equipment to have the CPKC logo are autoracks and containers. Everything else is either experimental or non-revenue publicity trains 8:30 CSX 1850 trailing 8:48 I thought he was just going to park at first! 9:30 a Genesis with a patched-out number with the Amtrak logo untouched, a CT Rail Genesis, and a horizon car on the Lake Shore Limited 9:45 6-unit lash-up of all older EMD power 10:56 BN green SD40-2 11:34 Loram grinder working at night closeup! 12:13 Viewliner Baggage-dorm on the Pennsylvanian! 12:27 KCS 4859 as mid-train DPU

The number of derailments VRF captures shows that even w/today's excellent track maintenance they do happen more often than we think. Makes me wonder what we would've seen back the "deferred maintenamce" era.

[@alcomankyle]

It wasn't maintenance issue on this one just mistake happened

[@hifijohn]

I grew up in the 70s next to penn central tracks a company that had no idea what track maintenance was Im amazed we didn't have a derailment every day.

[@b3j8]

@@alcomankyle Were they using the forklift to move the car when it derailed?

[@alcomankyle]

No they weren't only used it to rerail

[@Mike-tg7dj]

Seeing those Bradley's made me think of when we went to Grafenwohr or REFORGER it was take the tracks to railhead. Sometimes we would travel with the track vehicles and sometimes we bussed to those areas, but the track vehicles always went to railhead.
