Love the Secretariat statue. Teared me up seeing the greatest horse ever portrayed in that statue. Well done.

[@gp3829]

Thanks for the Trains VRF, also good to see the Easter Egg hunt at the Curve.

Beautiful Statue if Ol' Red ! But His Three Socksb seemed to be missing...

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Such a cool catch of Secretariat 😉

[@ssweeps]

Can you have a raifan camera in Mexico? It would be interesting seeing the autoracks and Ferromex engines.

[@KT4RAM]

Great captures! Thanks for another great video. Not sure if it's on my end but it seems that I had to turn of the volume level on this video compared to most of the prior vids. Normally my volume level is between 7 & 9, but this one I had to turn up to level 14 🤔 I hope my tv soundboard isn't going out. 😮

[@fredwilliams6843]

Saw many biclops today.

[@alanwbelcher]

Looks like Amtrak 148 got in a fight! I wonder what the other guy looked like.

[@jackiepersing-hy3lo]

It hit a tree in Maryland coming out of Washington

[@richardbause2453]

GPS: "DARWIN", Make left at horse on corner of the crossing in Ashland 😮😂. I see 👀, this coming at 3 AM😮😂.

[@bowlinerailfan]

A patched ex-Southern Pacific unit, CSX 1776, a warbonnet, and predominantly graffiti free and brand new auto racks. When it comes to showing us good stuff, Virtual Railfan doesn't "horse" around.

[@andrewp6387]

What happened to the door of that Amtrak engine

[@waynehall6273]

Can I ride in your locomotive engine? When horses fly. Hold on.

Happy Monday🚂Friends🙂

[@The_Dudester]

The only Easter egg hunt I went to, they only made 300 eggs and around 1,000 kids showed up. What a fiasco!!

[@ren-uz2mz]

When I was a kid the eggs were actually hidden, not a mad skirmish to get to them on open ground...

[@maynardcarmer3148]

@The_Dudester That's one more than I ever went to.

[@The_Dudester]

@@maynardcarmer3148 I'm sorry to hear that. After that one fiasco, my family avoided other Easter egg hunts because we had "been there, done that." As an adult, I went to a church with Easter egg hunts, but they were only for kids age 4 and younger and the eggs were plastic and had inserted items instead of being colored and dyed boiled eggs.

[@donnaj9964]

Loved seeing the kids racing the train in Elkhart right at the start--future railfans I'll bet. Looked up the Spirit of Ravenna and found out what a great partnership it represents; now I'll look for that engine just the way I look for the Spirit of the Armed Forces (thanks for that catch too). The Easter egg hunt was a hoot, but the music was what really made it. Thanks for another wonderful video!

[@roberthuron9160]

FYI-Lunar ECLIPSE- March 25th[tonight],Solar ECLIPSE- April 8th,so you don't get caught flat-footed! Always excellent work,and great editing,as usual,thank you!! Thank you 😇 😊!

[@toniatchison3678]

The lunar eclipse may be a bust for us tonight. Cloudy skies. But looking forward to the solar eclipse!

[@roberthuron9160]

The Solar ECLIPSE goes over Texas,and up to New England,so there should be several points of intersection with the cameras! The path has been published on KZbin,and will be useful! Thanks guys,for your work,and awareness! Thank you 😇 😊!

Thank You for submitting Robert ! Great Stuff ! Glad to have seen it LIVE !

[@Branddenthepinkgoldpeachfan]

*Awesome*

[@brucestambaugh]

It's a beautiful statue! Why Ashland? If they can afford an artistic feature like that, why can't they afford to fix the crossings so cars don't run the tracks? It's a simple fix if anyone will listen.

[@ren-uz2mz]

Secretariat had connections to Ashland... The statue is old and was moved... Yes NS needs to tend their knitting...

[@brucestambaugh]

@@ren-uz2mz Thank you. I figured as much.

[@ChessieCat65]

There were multiple fundraisers for the statue. Secretariat was actually born in Doswell but the founder of Meadow Farm was from Ashland.

[@47fireguy16]

I didn't know horses could fly. So Secretariat was the first 'horse fly' ? I see why he was so special !

[@tazrortheelder5307]

Nah, this was one more chance for him to fly!

[@drewpierce2273]

What is the story behind situating that beautiful statue. An event ?

[@Wildfire86872]

What is that DPU at 0:25 ? Doesn't look like BNSF

[@gregbudig5014]

Question...why is there so much foot traffic across the tracks on the Flagstaff AZ live stream view? Sometimes there will be groups of 10 or more people crossing at one time. I was wondering if this was a convenient crossing for college kids going from bar to bar? It just caught my attention a couple weeks ago seeing very large groups of people going back and forth at this location. Thanks for any information!!

[@johnstafford4304]

the college is nearby, kids walk back and forth from bus stops, restaurants

[@gregbudig5014]

@@johnstafford4304 Thank you!! I was thinking that there would be a simple explanation, so this makes perfect sense!!

Secretariat mighta been able to run fast, but Mr. Ed could talk.

My little sister mucked out SECRETARIATS stall and has one of BIG REDS horseshoes !!

[@donnaj9964]

Oh COOL! I looked up the article on the statue, and on March 30--Secretariat Day (his birthday) I will remember that amazing creature and be glad to know that there's a statue of him in Ashland.

[@WaffleDragon]

I hope nobody drives into the statue on their way to drive onto the tracks.

[@californigirl]

That statue is one of THE most beautiful equine racing statues yet. Bring a tear to my eye.

[@MichelleJohnson-dw2do]

Virtual railfan had a booth at the Cleveland Ohio train show

[@adriananderson76]

Is that Justify? Or American Pharaoh?

[@noblejackson5229]

I have to take issue concerning Secretariat. In my opinion, Silver was the greatest horse of all time!

[@albertcyphers1532]

Did they have to do a study to make sure that statue didn't offend anyone?

[@johnpinckney4979]

The statue maneuvering and the Easter Egg hunt were totally unnecessary.

[@englishkenny958]

GEEZ... you think they had enough construction workers to mount that statue?? Must have been a union job. One to operate the crane, one to hold the tag line when it was untangled from the trees and about 30 to stand there looking important
