CAR ON THE TRACKS IN ASHLAND WITH 18 “BOINGS” AND A CHEERING SECTION! AND MUCH MORE! 4/24/22

Only 54 days since the last car on the tracks in Ashland, VA!

[@curemeister7443]

At 9:00 This would make a great Subaru commercial to promote their go anywhere all wheel drive cars.

[@michaelpowell3980]

and the drunks that drive them

[@eventhorizon8313]

It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

[@U_ever]

Subaru is an Asian word for "Vape Wagon"

[@ohreally8929]

The only place this one is going to is the auto repair shop.

[@timothyrachford1868]

Ashland had a good run, more boing than deer, great close up on the empty well car, Thomas and Percy, keep up the great work

[@mickboakes7023]

I just find it fascinating a train running down the high street, even a car show. (The Rolls looks nice). Couldn’t trust the British public to be that sensible. We have massive fences to keep everybody out everywhere. Really enjoy your great channel. All the best. Mick🇬🇧

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

I like that car show at the beginning at LaGrange nice looking yellow Dodge a100 old school

[@markrobinson3830]

9:13 to 10:01 "Boing central" also, Hersperia, beautiful coverage @ 17:48

[@robadams5799]

I hope somone called the police to help those people get home safely. Or maybe gave them a nice, safe cell to dry out in.

[@roberthuron9160]

A historical aside- Mr. ROLLS,and Mr.ROYCE,both have a railroad connection! They were apprentices at Crewe[London&North Western Railway],England,locomotive works!! Like Mr. FORD,there is plenty of railroading background in people's biographies,but you have to dig for it!! Thanks for your efforts and dedication 👏 🙏 🙌 👌 👍 😊 👏!

[@timslager5966]

Stunning shot to end the grab bag!👍 Thanks for sharing!

[@leroyliston7773]

I liked the little yellow Dodge A 100 at La Grange. Took me a few to realize it was an old car show.

[@Klaus99999]

It was going so well too! We went so long without an Ashland clip.

[@bartoszbanasik2252]

I'm huge railfan from Poland and I dreamed about beeing on Horseshoe Curve in Altoona through many years. On 24th April I realized my dreams and I was here. I go by your camera and showed a sign with text from "Pruszków Poland and a flag" and I really hoped that you will show me on a Grab Bag from that day. Cheers!

[@Smilecollector120]

Ashland my home...I am glad he got off the tracks without losing all his tires. Most be a visitor.

[@paullindberg9230]

A nice shot of the double stack van job sliding around the curve with that gravel train sliding past opposite direction"REAL SMOOTHE"!!

[@sleepyjay2664]

Plenty of sober Ashland drivers manage to "Ride the Rails", but given the way that guy blew through the stop sign beforehand, he was probably well south of Virginia's 0.08 BAC limit.

[@fritz46]

Yes, he almost didn't make it to the rails.

[@Brl46574]

ran a stop sign, almost getting hit twice, then driving right onto tracks that are clearly visible with headlights. Really glad this person is just out roaming among developed humans

[@shmulikanglister]

There's something in the water in Ashland that consumes brains cells.

[@ronmexico1975]

Nice town but unfortunately is a huge left-wing liberal cesspool. That explains the lack of brain cells.

[@mj1234321]

The beauty of Subaru AWD!

[@brandonkoole655]

Takes a great engineer to get that stone train over cajon. Was watching djstrains and how the short, heavy trains are the toughest. And now adding a grade to that..

[@freddienz]

Thank you for the introduction to the "Great Northern & Cascade Railway" That is a great Grab Bag.

[@usmale4915]

I like the little train that went through the Rocky Mountains, Bolder (BOULDER) Dam and the great pyramid! Also really enjoyed the "boing boing" car...just too hysterical! Thank you for sharing! Shout out to Thomas and Percy!!!

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Fun Fact: That coal passing through Flagstaff is on it's way to the Mitsubishi Cushenberry cement Plant in Lucerne Valley, CA.

[@J3scribe]

There are no more coal fired power plants in California. They were outlawed in 2015. Trona was the last.

[@Gypples]

Oh cool, that's actually nearby to me.

[@joannecarpenter8725]

Thanks for the chuckles 😂That’s one crazy driver of the car on the tracks!!

[@RainierRailroader]

Y'know, that crazy conductor at 3:10 looked like he was enjoying himself. Aside from all the wind resistance of going between 35 and 40mph that is though... Heh. Neat to see that I've made my second grab bag now. Keep enjoying the trains railfans, hope to have as much fun with you all as I can! - Conductor Matt

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

Hesperia camera has great clarity and focus ( waves back at Railfans ).

[@mcpr5971]

🎵 Just a small town boy Born and raised in Ashland VA, 🎵 He took the midnight train tracks ... going ANYEEEEE-WHERE 🎵

[@wulf76]

Seemed like that person nearly ran the stop sign almost hitting a car then blindly drives onto the tracks then trashes his tires and whatever else on the frame and undercarriage just to get a parking spot on the other side ?? Miss the party i guess being late makes dumb decisions

[@paulbowler2760]

The "Roller" at Wichita - early/mid-fifties model, right-hand drive and original British licence tag at front! Great!!

[@jeffgarrett2114]

The person in Ashland deserves an award for making it off the tracks by themselves and leaving before the police showed up. They deserved the round of applause lol. Love the hesperia California cam great view

[@metalmike669]

I appreciate you guys freeze framing the good ole green BN locomotives still out there earning a living!

[@adamwhite648]

I love how Chattanooga has both Thomas AND Percy! Oh, and that one driver in Ashland? I'm quite surprised he/she got the vehicle off the tracks! No wonder everyone cheered!

[@nathanjplatt]

Just because Railroad has "Road" in it doesn't mean you drive onto it.

[@MrHack4never]

Not is it really a good place to get railed...

[@BUSFvertryn]

that 4x4 subaru wagon really came through when it came to getting off of the tracks! EXCELLENT PLUG!

[@garycharpenter543]

Which brand of GPS thinks the tracks are a road?

[@TheMetGuy]

The "Cars On The Tracks" grab bag videos are awesome

[@trezjr73]

Wait until daylight when he discovers all of his undercarriage damage!

[@BNSFandSP]

I love that a hyrailer rolls up in time to watch that guy at 8:57.

[@williamcoe9200]

Got to admit the car on the track and the people clapping is a classic

[@trainnadimamtrakthomasalle9037]

11:00, well look who it is. It one of my favorite trains, Thomas.

[@Debbiestrainsandtoys]

Woe Thomas and Percy, the mini Thomas railway this grab bag is awesome apart from the boings

[@markfrench8892]

After getting the car off the tracks I'm surprised he or she didn't turn into the one way street the wrong way. 😂

[@usatrains7468]

Good grab bag as usual Mike thank you. best thing to do is to watch trains do you all agree?

[@andrewp6387]

these drivers never learn

[@t.j.carroll8512]

Great smorgasbord of railroading. Really liked the meet at Elkhart IN.

[@DarkVoidIII]

Thomas and Percy were wonderful! Is it possible to include full length clips of the rakes of carriages they're pulling? I couldn't really get a good idea of how many carriages they were shoving around, would love to know if possible! 😊👍

[@OTE_TheMissile]

There's another YT channel I watch that highlights some of the wacky stuff that auto mechanics post to Reddit. I can just picture seeing that SUV in Monday's video with the whole underside all smashed in, "owner claims car wobbles after he ran over something."

[@thomasfletcher4765]

" just rolled in " I take it ?

[@OTE_TheMissile]

@@thomasfletcher4765 Yessir

[@thomasfletcher4765]

@@OTE_TheMissile yep , watch that one myself . I'll be waiting for that one to show up on there

[@RFRyan]

They need to put Concrete barriers next to the tracks in Ashland so all the cars will stay off the tracks

[@Kaithelegoguy]

Uh if I'm not mistaken I think they did

[@RFRyan]

Wait they did?

[@Kaithelegoguy]

@@RFRyan yeah its on the side you can see it in the video

[@coswiger]

Where should even more barriers be placed? The city even closed the road next to the rails that most of the "creative" drivers wanted to take. What more to do?!

[@RFRyan]

Put one in between the tracks

[@raeward8092]

Ashland was coming due I guess, it’d been a while since the last “bright spark” used the shortcut….

[@nicolewembley3093]

Wow a Really good grab bag, SUV on tracks in Ashland big surprise there, then a lot of deer in Deshler Oh, then I couldn't believe my eyes it was Thomas the tank engine in Chattanooga TN I didn't know he existed but on the cartoons on PBS.

[@karafaunt4386]

I remember the train in the first clip went through deshler (I think), do got a lot of great cars at that car show, great grab bag!

[@fletch61]

The front Number plate on the old Rolls at Great Plains was first registered in Yorkshire UK

[@SoundFX09]

At Least He Got Out of it, but a Lot of Laughs were to be had! Maybe that Driver will be a lot more aware of the Tracks in the Future!

[@robadams5799]

6:05 - I liked the train called "SB Intermodal Q-CHIROB." My name is Rob, I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and I was born with spina biffida (SB).

[@Skulldrag88]

Could not be better!

[@mec4703]

What is up with the people in Ashland?

[@stevensolway1054]

THOMAS at 11:50 in Chattanooga has the Wrong Whistle!! THOMAS' Whistle is more higher pitched "Tweet, Tweet!!" OK 👌 👍 Thanks!!-!

[@rammergramps]

Thank you great grab bag again. Makes you wonder how much damage he did under the poor car. Think time to hand the license in

[@armandosoto643]

The new Hesperia camera looks great! Keep it up, VR!

[@geepnut2459]

Great to see the Cabosil hoppers at La Grange make the grab bag, the BN green 1922 at Flagstaff and all the other great clips, thanks VR.

[@debikawaii]

10:24 "People do that all the time!" Well, that's one way of putting it 🤣

[@jorikdeleeuw8242]

I got a 139-8 Ball Running on my transport fever 2 track.

[@ChadSimplicio]

With the new ptz location in Hesperia, you can see as far west as Summit, really know when an eb train is coming, or even see the lights coming out of an Amtrak Superliner.

[@keonikaig9247]

Yup , railfan forever...thx

[@johnwalters1341]

That wasn't this year's model Rolls Royce--anybody know what year?

What are those rail cars in Hesperia? They look like accordions.

[@musclecarmitch908]

Great Grab Bag!👍

[@MikeDoughney]

Why are the WRWK stack cars placarded "non-interchange car?" Seems to defeat the purpose, and they're clearly being interchanged.

[@i_g_man]

it's about time another car goes onto the tracks in Ashland

[@crashdd]

At about 6:45, Metrolink passenger cars in IA? That is well out of their normal service area (SoCal).

[@geofferywickline4846]

I sure hope I would have seen AC44C6M 4550.

[@robgm6926]

Those folks in Ashland are bound and determined to get around those barriers to get on to those blocked off streets.

[@tonyhull4978]

Rolls Royce with English registration plates !

[@geofferywickline4846]

I used to love the old intro but I like the new one better.

[@00bigbrian]

Thomas is in Chattanooga

[@williamjacobs236]

Another great Grab Bag video VRF .

[@MatthewMello]

EOTs are normally off during the day. They have a photo sensor on them. It will say on the screen if the light is on or off.

[@mpaul5586]

Correct, glad someone else mentioned it. They also briefly flash upon detection of movement.

[@thomasfletcher4765]

Really liked the loco at 13:50 ( military tribute ) , I'm partial to the woodland camo scheme myself . Car on the track with the boings was hilarious 🤣 ! Any chance y'all have cameras in the Columbia river gorge ( Oregon or Washington side ) ?

[@purplealice]

Why do I keep seeing an engine with Santa Fe livery all over it, but in *PINK*, on every railfan channel?

[@trainsimulatordriver]

"people do that all the time" lol... judging by the hanging tag a rental - I wonder if they even mentioned it when they gave it back

[@southcarolinagrizfan1594]

Only in Ashland.

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

I give up. Just how can I have any faith in the drivers of America with these Ashlandistas about?

[@huntybro2]

Thet need signs in ashland that say there are tracks here

[@H60_Flyer]

What are Metrolink cars doing in IL?

[@RenoRailfan]

3:10 The fact a GP60M lead an intermodal like train.

[@zunkman1]

Pretty nifty switching in Elkhart!

how much to put some delineaters up at Ashland??🤣

After the cheer, they ran over to tell the driver that the drinks 🍸 🤣 were on the house 🏠 🤣...

00:40 Box containers of some sort. Aluminum billets don't have latches. 2:03 Not all end of train devices have a flashing red light. 3:45 She is stunning. 15:25 Coal train heading to Richmond, CA for export is my guess.

[@SETX_Sirens_and_Rail_02]

I guess Subarus are the only cars that don't need help off the tracks

Is it just me or does that stack car at 5:51 looks like it's tilting?
