Although not shown in chronological order, it's pretty cool that the train at Fort Madison, IA at 16:35:30 in the afternoon (about 2:52 in the video) is the same train at La Plata, MO at 19:13:52 in the evening (about 0:40 in the video). Couldn't identify the 3rd CN locomotive but the first 2 leading are CN units are 5744 and 2289. Very cool. Thanks.

Another great Grab Bag video VRF .

[@juliegogo2941]

Look at that gray white red accent engine that I can't read the logo nice... The Canadian train lines go where most do not go...all over for sure. That cruise liner ship did a better dock landing than Katherine Hepburn and the old Cris-Craft inboard motorboat in.. On Golden Pond. A Mississippi cruise liner with ability and agility. Glad to see the pneumatic breaks are working! Evidence by the dust blown about. He was showing us I bet... he can detached and reattached his third engine. Wow! Nice red and white engines that I can't read. That fox has a truly nice healthy fuzzy fuzzy tail I couldn't tell dinner or a kit being moved...Fox are great mousers for sure.....keeps the rodent populations down. Opossums eat lots of rodents too. Lots of Convoy equipment and farm gear! Thanks One of my favorite is the rainbows the mini ones double ones all kinds of rainbows. By the SPAGHETTI WORKS building a faint one and lots of electricity about. I don't think I ever made rainbows with a prism. I may have unintentionally with a hanging crystal in my car years ago... We like the cotton and the wool sustainable recyclable. Was that a new orange Canadian engine. With the Norfolk southern yard... rock cliff area are those lights or electricity orbs from the storm?

[@ren-uz2mz]

Fox had a skunk, odd dinner choice but hey, enjoy...

Would sure Like to hear the Conductors Official Explanation for the Unit Separation. Most likely (2) possibilities but probably just one (1) since the Train was in Reverse. 🤔👍

[@1tulip]

Came for the uncoupling but the fox taking out the neighborhood cats was def the highlight.

[@RELATEABLE100]

To the perfect sons...🍻🍻🍻💙

[@waynemiller7382]

So what caused the BNSF decouple - the lead loco was pushing not pulling so unless the other loco wasn't electrically connected properly?? (then again did it accelerate quicker than the lead loco and if so how?).

[@SOU6900]

Probably a knuckle broke.

[@MidwesternRailfan]

0:13 I was in Parkville when this passed

[@kensingtonchapp4819]

A unit separation like this can happen while shoving if the knuckle pin didn't drop while you were making a hook when building the engine consist, then you didn't stretch it to make sure you got it. When you later set your independent brake, only the engine brakes apply, leaving the train to pull on your consist under its own inertia, which will drag the units apart. The lead two engines looked to be properly connected so they didn't come apart. Looking closer at the video, it doesn't look like the 3rd unit was properly MU'd at all. I didn't see the walkway chains connected, or the 3 intermediate air hoses which control independent brakes and main reservoir charge line. That might just be an issue with the video quality though.

[@allenmarvetsthewildbuck3205]

Who was running toward the uncoupled locos?
