For my money, there is no better-looking livery than the Southern Railroad. Nice to see that legacy paint job on the Curve.

[@bowlinerailfan]

It's one of the best heritage schemes out there. Perhaps the best. I was pleased when I saw it in person in Cordele last november.

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

Thank JP. The Darwin was a great display of why yiu don't go past flasing lights.

[@gp3829]

Great seeing the light blue Caboose roll by at Kansas City. I enjoyed that bit of Switching in the night and hearing the engines rumble as they idled and then set-back. That small Yard by the Mainline makes for an ideal Model. All those different engines were good to see too, thanks VRF.

[@donnaj9964]

Oh man, that lightning--!!!! Plus a fantastic sunset with cumulonimbus at OKC and lots of footage from Horseshoe Curve, which is always gorgeous. Loved the Bessemer & Lake Erie engine too--thanks for another great one!

[@the-terrible63]

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Heritage Units, lighting strikes in Fort Madison, Iowa, and so much more, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a nice day.

[@Eastman4]

As a resident of Pennsylvania and about an hour away, I loved the views from the Horseshoe Curve in this video.❤ So many engines! 😯

[@warrentaylor4258]

Would be great if BNSF painted up a couple of locos in Warbonnet!!

[@lisabehe4546]

Thanks for all that great footage of the Horseshoe Curve ❤

[@Bucktherailfan]

Now that I have seen the Grab Bag- A lot of great catches. Nice job VRF!

[@ChainsawNW1218]

Great action at Horseshoe Curve, nice lash ups and catch on the SRR GE and VA EMD!🛤🚂

[@adamc1966]

Notice how all of the variety is on the east coast 👍

[@DebS819-TeamKentucky]

That was a nice looking caboose with the cupalo. Pretty blue paint job. 🚃

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

Those Warbonnets look like they must be on their way to Pielet Bros.

[@coreypeters4170]

9:59, Hey! CSX 1834, the Georgia Railroad heritage unit!

[@GamerBoy-be9dy]

[@oscarcubas3792]

I like trains awesome 👍👍🚂🚂

[@charleswoods9938]

I like those Santa Fe locomotives from Ft Madison on the K line

[@charleswoods9938]

I just wished I can see more of these Santa Fe locomotives I think they are those WC 44 9 CWs GE locomotives

[@mmburgess11]

NS 7246 and 7247 bringing up the rear at the Curve. Nice.

[@matthewrinehart9514]

Some of these heritage units could use some cosmetic loving. ❤😊

[@Branddenthepinkgoldpeachfan]

*Awesome Video*

[@cheersgxp2466]

Ha I had a decoder badge when I was young in the 50s❤

[@joepeach997]

Cool!

[@WA1LBK]

i recognized the decoder ring & message from the movie "A Christmas Story"; pardon me for being dense here, but what does it have to do with an Amtrak passenger train descending Horseshoe CUrve? 🤔 Sill a great Grab Bag overall! 😊

[@donnaj9964]

Is that what that was?? I thought it looked familiar...

[@rocksreynolds3642]

2:05 That special train of transformers at Doc’s Caboose was caught by the Tower 55 Fort Worth camera in the last grab bag.

[@BNSFrailfan01]

When it’s Grab Bag time, it’s like railroading in its prime.

[@AaronCrann]

Your trian videos on KZbin are so amazing! When you show Elkhart, Indiana, I when there with my folks. And I saw the camera on the amtrack station. Have a great rest of your week. Bye-bye. Aaron Crann

Hi

[@MusicalRailfans]

6:40 BNSF has their own flatcar?

[@carollinegrace1006]

What is the significance of the blinking red signal @ 1:38, and why not a green for an already set switch and clear siding?

[@J3scribe]

VR likes to show signal aspects change. Simple as that.

[@henryboyter3670]

What is the little structure outside the fence at the Horseshoe Curve? It looks like a well house.

[@russaicher3786]

What am I looking at with the 2nd loco at 3:07 . Seems to be a high nose?

[@georgeadams1853]

Not a locomotive. It measures track geometry

[@randydobson1863]

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

[@richintalent]

What type of cars were on the Deshler cam at 10:41?

[@bowlinerailfan]

How does someone get a heart image on a license plate? Sure California is known for out of the ordinary things, but still, is that even legal?

[@user-bb3yv8dy7q]

Yes, California has a bunch of Special Plates you can buy.

[@PowerlinePlanet109]

1:22 What kind of K5HL is that? Never heard of one this fouled before.

[@sanddabz5635]

Could anyone kindly explain the Ovaltine reference to me?

[@Primeandfeastablescollector10]

Not 1st

[@ringo7561]

I can't find Darwin

[@joepeach997]

8:49

[@ringo7561]

@@joepeach997 thanks

[@ringo7561]

Yea, if another train was coming all that Darwin had to do was move his car sideways

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

​@@ringo7561 That's why you don't drive past flashing lights. Tte results are not what you like.

[@Steamies2011-braydenthefef-1]
