Awesome Grab Bag! One of the better ones with a fabulous ending. Thank you!

[@cat4607]

nice job!! thanks for honoring America :) God bless you all!!

[@harveyy4492]

Hope everyone had a safe weekend. Loved the Firefly launch. Great capture of the "jellyfish" effect. You guys catch and track launches as well as any of the dedicated rocket watching channels and it's always a treat for me to see when watching the Trains.

[@the-terrible63]

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the BNSF military train in Wichita, Kansas, Heritage Units, and so much more, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and happy late-Independence Day.

[@UnionPacific1943-hz2oc]

Nice doing the star spangled banner of the Military train equipment 🇺🇸👍

[@cpbethlehem6548]

[@PaulCashman]

Great Grab Bag and a terrific ending!

[@gp3829]

Nice Fallen Flag Freight stock tonight, thanks VRF. I liked the combination of Southern, N&W and NS Hoppers at Deshler (02:24) Also, the night scene of Amtrak at Austell, with the background Lights looked very good (13:19)

[@davidmaust1415]

I saw the Penn Central heritage unit just sout of Elkhart this morning, and again at the NYC RR museum

[@FDNY8231]

[@ivoneboettgerbatschauer2242]

Wow loved Thanks VRF 🇺🇲🦅

[@jby6277]

Nice ending.

[@richardbause2453]

What better way to enjoy the 4th of July than with a GE turbo fire 🔥 in a tinderbox California railroad right of way 😮😂😂😂...

[@jeffdayman8183]

At 9:37 - I can imagine the call to the insurance: "honest fellas, the last time I saw my workshop raft it had a 550 HP Cat diesel on it, and a 12" bronze prop..." 8^) Cheers!

[@ThomasB-656]

I gotta love the Tuba.

[@michaelmcgauran4013]

God bless America.

[@cartergreene750]

Loved the ending, Happy 4th‼️‼️‼️🎆🎇🧨

[@davidbrown4823]

Excellent ending.

[@coreypeters4170]

8:29, Wow! A CP rail SD40-2 pulling the Rocky Mountaineer train! Awesome!

[@GregoryZucco-z6m]

Sorry but I don't think so, it was a beat up smoky SD40-2 on a very classy train, CPKC should be embarrassed.

[@soldierjack1]

Great finish. Retired soldier.

[@randydobson1863]

Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy

[@coreypeters4170]

16:41, A rainbow! 🌈

[@donnaj9964]

Amazing red rainbow at Burlington; I've read about those but have never seen one irl as they're pretty rare. It was nice to see 4822 and the Rocky Mountaineer as always, and of course I loved the ending...But what? No "Doing!" for the guy who drove onto the tracks??? Anyway, happy belayed 4th to everyone and be well!

[@lynsmith]

Happy 4th VRF ! Great Musical Ending 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆🎇

[@bengone3349]

Approiate ending.

[@cathycarroll2405]

Did the burning train at the Arvada Curve start a brush fire??? It was spilling embers!

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

I was going to ask the same question. Looks like that engine will be junked as well.

[@andywaters2520]

I see some folks I think I know in Altoona at the end.

[@nycfan4756]

"42" in morse code at Altoona from Amtrak loco.

[@mikecrean8849]

I’m a Brit but visit and love America. Lovely to hear your national Anthem played properly. I hate it at all the sporting events when some soul singer wails and screeches their way through the anthem. I find it so improper and embarrassing. 🙋‍♂️🇬🇧👏👏

[@csxisaiahjonesproductions2290]

I Saw It Last Night When I Go To Bed After 4th Of July Fireworks Anyways That Amtrak Phase 7 Train In 13:14

[@Rheatown217]
