[@matthewrinehart9514]

Hopefully the Griswolds had allstate insurance when they hit that tree 😂

[@albertvieira6635]

❤ I just love watching the grab bag Robert was running the camera John Weldon I'll be sure to tell my friend about it

[@gp3829]

Thanks for catching the Amtrak Switchers, VRF. They all looked in pretty good condition, so I hope they are not being scrapped.

[@the-terrible63]

Wow! Great catching all the trains and snow in multiple locations, especially deer at the Big 10 Curve in Arvada, Colorado, and a car skids into a tree in Flagstaff, Arizona, @Virtual Railfan, thank you.

[@franciscampagna2711]

Thank you for thee trains and their context.

[@johnwoodall3791]

Better than Crashing into a train, maybe it has to do with something called instant kalma !!!!. Happy New Year To All. Great Video as Well.

[@ronaldrondeau7870]

Thanks guys with yoyr new spots

[@FlightAndTrack]

These videos are the best aren't they?

[@annaf7812]

They sure are!

[@DavidUrban-y3c]

​@@annaf7812 I would have to agree.

[@donnaj9964]

Yes indeed!!!

[@ren-uz2mz]

Wow what cool stuff! Oak Ridge oh my oldies! Snow away from me! Always interesting!

11:00 CSX New York Central heritage locomotive; now there are THREE NYC heritage units….CSX, NS, and Metro-North’s STUNNING P42 in New York Central lightning stripes.

[@stanleyjstrock4410]

Yes I love them

[@troy.peters]

Loved the VR loco on the tanker hatch 19:12 👍

[@revharrycwigmoreiii5787]

Thanks for another great video.

[@MikeG42]

Good video

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

Interesting how the police and a Allstate office was there in flagstaff 😁

[@TheMetGuy]

Awesome grab bag!

[@Funhat56]

That looks like Clark Griswold in the Family Truckster hitting that tree.

[@matthewrinehart9514]

My first thought😅

[@Yormsane]

8:22 When your rally driving career begins and ends in Flagstaff. Ooooops!

[@cwshawk]

Right in front of the Allstate office too!

[@slimonion1975]

And a cop near too 😂

[@Branddenthepinkgoldpeachfan]

*Nice Catches*

[@ChainsawNW1218]

Amtrak in the snow at Flagstaff, high rail and BNSF in snow,another great video and nice lash up in Ashland VA,Operation Lifesaver EMD SD40-2 in Roanoke!🛤🚂

[@DTD110865]

It seems like an injustice that Flagstaff is getting all that snow, but NYC and Long Island which are further north get nothing but frozen rain.

[@taslimchoudhary1253]

Awesome Video! 🍀🌹🇮🇳🌹🍀

[@fredwilliams6843]

Good job!

[@davidsp5936]

The sound effect really sells it. In front of an insurance agent, too! (Also, I think that's a fire department vehicle)

[@tannermallonee7371]

17:47 Amtrak 824 I saw that unit in person at Newton. It was at the head end of the Southwest Chief, last summer.

[@poowg2657]

11:38. Nice bow wave coming off the hy-rail.

[@donnaj9964]

So much fun! The Arvada footage is always just great. Revy apparently had a Darwin climb through a train sometime tonight (01/05/24) but I didn't see it or get a timestamp on it. Whenever it was, the circus continues, only with more clowns!

[@donnaj9964]

Sheesh...another Darwin climb-through in Revy--while on his phone yet!!! Or maybe he just took a picture of the train. Anyway, it was 22:32:26 Revy time.

[@davidkreider942]

Happy New Year VR and thanks for another great show!!

[@Chris_daniel613]

Im glad i told the mods about plant city 😊

[@davidcrook5511]

Like this one too!!!

[@slimonion1975]

What a slide that vehicle took in the snow and cop was there to witness it too

[@daniellibich1376]

With many speculate a LEO was waiting for a train at a crossing when icy conditions led to a motorist sliding as if they slightly damaged a tree all witnessed by the deputy.

[@Blocksguyoldchannel]

Nice

[@ClarissaPacker]

Love the old Amtrak engine wish they were still used by Amtrak

[@susanwahl6322]

That poor tree!

[@roger3958]

Well. Better to hit a tree than a police car! 😂

At 15:40 The Oak Ridge Hoppers...are those from Oak Ridge, Tennessee from the National Nuclear Facilities there??

[@albertcyphers1532]

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when that kid tells Dad that tree got in the way 😅

[@SMichaelDeHart]

At 0:24 you missed the Darwin award winner standing on the tracks waiting for the caboose to pass. Not smart!!

[@joepeach997]

Yep, I was mesmerized by the caboose, lol.

[@SMichaelDeHart]

​@joepeach997 I had to go back twice to ensure what I was seeing. So, I understand that!!

[@slimonion1975]

Saw that too not smart idea on that person

[@OldPapaGtrains]

I just watched this video from Jan 4th and 5th and saw the Redd Foxx at the end. Next time you see one, you should edit in a theme song sound bite from "Sanford and Son ". I I like the Pac Man sound with the Canadian National logo and etc. Just saying... Thanks for all the videos, we never know what might show up on the cameras.

[@tlsn5459]

Or an instrumental version of "Fox on the Run".

[@jovetj]

Those traffic signal crossings are so... weird!! And very antiquated.

[@MrBnsftrain]

0:06 geep, warbonnet B40-8W, and warbonnet C44-9W. Both warbonnets still say Santa Fe on the side 0:18 ex-Conrail bay window caboose! 1:02 local job on the Big 10 Curve 2:02 nice horn on this K&O unit (again at 4:50) 3:08 wow! F40PHs 401 and 407 5:05 ALC42 trailing through Plant City 6:28 Amtrak 536, 531, and 532 are all ex-P&LE MP15DCs. Amtrak has ten, 530 is in Seattle, 531 used to be in New Haven, 532 went to many sites in the past decade, 533 is in Washington DC, 534 and 535 haven't been seen for awhile, 536 was in Pennsylvania, 537 and 538 are in New Haven, and 539 lacks a more recent sighting. 7:30 Amtrak 161 "Arrow" passes through Ashland 8:23 car brakes too late and spins into a tree. A police car just so happens to be the car waiting at the crossing 10:11 a pair of NS 6-axle slugs 10:20 Sperry car 10:46 CSX 1853 is the New York Central heritage unit. The lettering isn't accurate on this one 11:17 NS high hood geep trailing 11:38 hi-rail trucks have little wheel guards that help brush snow off the rails 12:00 CSX inspection car on the rear of a freight train 12:12 CSX 1976 leading 13:10 BNSF 3801's front is covered in snow! 14:10 KCSM gray and CP red units along with a Pan-Am boxcar on the same train 14:32 CSX SD70MAC 4724 and Franken-GEVO 1715 doubleheading 15:34 lots of Oak Ridge tall gonodlas 15:50 KCT SW1000 lacks KCT logos 16:55 CSX 55 and 345 with a tanker on a flatbed 17:41 UP run-through on the BNSF St. Joesph sub. Union Pacific does have a parallel line on the other side of the Missouri River

[@rms492]

Was that truck supposed to go through the crossing? Seems like others were waiting. Thats a weird crossing is it controlled by traffic signals only?

[@melissakarl]

So fun fact I was there at the NYC museum to see that train with that caboose

[@Pensyfan19]

Where are the two F40s going to at 3:09? And were the three Amtrak MP15s at 6:39 just bought by Amtrak or are they being sold to someone else?

[@davidbrown4823]

One thing never changes, people forget how to drive in winter. Happiest New Year to all.

[@ricklichenberger2931]

The FRA office of safety car was in Fort Madison earlier that morning at 10 49 am I saw it and took some pics of it while walking my dog by the Fort.

LTEX F40PHs 401 and 407 again at 3:17. The 401 and 407 are now owned by the Grand Canyon Railway.

Hmmm... more snow in Flagstaff than in Milwaukee, WI... We just got some 1-6-2024, still less than Flagstaff...
