LA GRANGE CLAIMS ANOTHER ON THE TRACKS! EARTHQUAKE SHAKING POLE AT BARSTOW, RARE, ANTHRACITE CAR

[@paulboger3101]

Ah, La Grange! Never fails to disappoint!!

[@G.G.4999]

One of many places.

[@Yormsane]

16:05 Jeez Felix, that was a close call. 8 lives left, and no more catnip for you.

[@jasonworthington4458]

I was at LaGrange back in June. I didn't have any problems. I think the basic problem is inattentive driving.

[@CXensation]

Ohh LaGrange, LaGrange ... You never stop to amaze ... 😘

La Grange never disappoints!

[@b3j8]

Yep, nothing like making a bonehead move like that in front of the whole town!😅😅

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

Why haven't they filled in that part? I would have to the cross street.

[@donnaj9964]

@@jamesmckenzie3532 I wondered that too--where are people supposed to go??

[@b3j8]

@@jamesmckenzie3532 Prob same reason it always is. Money. Until, somebody is badly injured or killed. Then it'll quietly be paved.🙄

[@mikerubynfs]

@@donnaj9964 The street kinks to the left.

[@TheEDFLegacy]

I'm surprised they didn't pave the road all the way to the crossing in La Grange. Considering it's already a shared road, it seems pretty silly to not make it like that all the way down.

[@RichardKroboth]

I’ve been thinking about that

[@ebf82234]

Never mind the "decals" @13:48...you gotta "love💓" that ex-BN unit in its entirety...an absolute survivor in all its rusted-and-pitted (metal) glory!!🤗

[@modeltrainsandtracks]

Have to admit though, it looked like they ran out of '8's and someone grabbed the Dulux and a brush....

[@squarebodycasewademckenney6190]

16:38 who knew CP was still making steam locos LOL

[@tomchidwick]

lol, I think Felix hitched a ride!

[@jpdriver1967]

Great shot of side-by-side EMD GPs in Wichita!

Super cool train sweet 🚂🚂👍👍

Great grab the bag really enjoyed think virtual railfan

[@Branddenthepinkgoldpeachfan]

*Awesome Catches*

[@user-vh1uc6in7b]

Awesome Catch.

[@heavenlydays2838]

La Grange and Asheville are such a maddening situation.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Why Asheville?

[@donnaj9964]

I think you mean Ashland?

[@davidedwards4834]

How could vehicles besides trains be made aware of where tracks are even when wet. I know paying attention to where they are is a good start but there is a lot to look at in La Grange. Y’all keep up the great work.

[@crickkett7510]

You caught the SJC cat this morning. 😊

[@ZandertheConrailfan765]

Nice catch

[@TsalagiRailfan]

I liked the Conrail HU’s lashup. Himself, a YN2 pair, an SD40-2, and a GP38-3. Great lashup!

[@lynsmith]

IF I was the Police Chief In LaGrange Ky I would fine people every time they get in trouble with CSX ! Driving when a train comes or driving on the tracks!!!

[@the-terrible63]

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a nice day and night.

[@ChainsawNW1218]

Nice video and RJ Corman EMD power on Military train!🛤🚂

[@thomasboese3793]

How? At the rate drivers in La Grange drive off the road into tracks is mind-boggling. If they were in a place with high cliffs there would be a pile of cars at the foot of the cliff.

[@cwshawk]

You ever been there? There’s a real lack of markings, signage, gates and signals. And you’re having to see this at ground level behind the wheel while navigating traffic and a lot of pedestrians, not 25 feet up where the cam is mounted with better sight lines.

[@thomasboese3793]

@@cwshawk I've looked at the road using Google Maps. It's a very poor design. But, unless you change the flow of traffic its not going to get better.

[@gp3829]

The 3 UP Geeps at Wichita looked smart, as did the 3 Genesee and Wyoming Geeps at Cordele. Mostly, BNSF 1846 at Fort Madison was perfect and resembled a brand new model, straight out of the box and weathered by a Professional.

[@theoldar]

When something happens repeatedly, it's a design flaw in the system.

[@NP-ux9xg]

Or you underestimate the stupidity of the average adult.

[@railyardfilms6491]

Cp unit was fired up in good hard worker crew ways

[@Wsp-k6y]

Wow so crazy

[@cat4607]

Darwin kitty!!!!

[@modeltrainsandtracks]

At 11.40 there's a whole load of power in the yard behind the train, maybe BNSF (because they're orange..) What's going on there?

[@TsalagiRailfan]

I’m surprised no one went back through the Austell feed yesterday and grabbed the UP Southern Pacific HU trailing 5th out on a westbound intermodal!

[@Retired88M]

Looks like a blown turbo on the CP DPU

[@lindaterrell5535]

Woo, weaponry!

[@TinkerTailor4303]

That was Skimbleshanks - a.k.a. the Railway Cat!😼

[@donnaj9964]

Purrfect!!

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

I can't get over the casual access you 'muricans have to railways! Here in the UK the tracks are all fenced off! Even the majority of level crossings have gates. You are lucky.

[@randydobson1863]

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

[@electladynanci]

Lagrange is the daytime soap opera "Days of Our Lives" for railfans. We all wanna know what happened at Lagrange today......

[@Bazoo-1968]

That’s it. I’m going to learn how to make clips.

[@RocklandPaul]

I can see how that driver couldn’t see - the sun was probably directly in their eyes and frankly a visitor to the city wouldn’t expect a road to simply end like this one does. I might have done the same. 😂

[@jdubbs3422]

@6:56, How do you not see the track's end? What is wrong with these people?

[@PrinceRupertBC]

CP Rail's newest steam diesel great video

[@donnaj9964]

Sheesh, CP, they have enough smoke in BC right now without you rollin' coal all over the place...and the wrecker drivers in LaGrange must make out like absolute bandits!! I wonder if the comm towers on the hill in Barstow swayed too--I'm glad that Felix was okay, and it was good to see 1776. Another really interesting one!

[@randysmitchell4810]

Strange: PTZ cameras/microphones, are being used by members to communicate with other members. @03:10 - the family that is checking off PTZ sites they have visited, is starting a whole new industry. (National Parks now have competition)

[@tompaton1899]

I wonder why they never paved over that area?

[@tytn9978]

Haven't seen the Revelstoke bear yet this year?

[@nunyabizzy08]

might show up during fall when bears actually venture near civilizations to forage for food

[@rickfarrar1948]

When will they ever learn, La Grange?

[@bowlinerailfan]

Anyone else noticed that the signal aspect changed as the car hit the rail in La Grange?

[@OnlyTheEd]

Was that "AmtrakAmy" in Fort Madison?

[@millerbenschop9666]

Why do you circle the track signalling? I've seen you do this on several videos. It's my understanding that any part of a train entering a box causes it to go Red and any Orange signal indicates that the next block is Red. A block being the rail segment between two signals. In other words, the signal is working as expected, which is why I'm wondering why it's being circled.

[@squarebodycasewademckenney6190]

12:17 I see what u did there CSX the troop Loco number is 1776

[@TucsonBillD]

What, no Darwin Award for Felix?

What is it about La Grange😱 They just never learn😂🤣 What was the Grey NS at NYC Museum 🤔

[@richardbause2453]

Lagrange score card for the year I believe is 9. Is there something in the water 💧 in Lagrange or the locals, after a century, DON'T KNOW WHAT TRACKS AND TRAINS ARE 🤔? 2.5 DARWIN'S in 1 week.

[@trains4one]

There really is no excuse for drivers that get caught at La Grange and Ashland. It comes from distracted driving if you live in the area or you're not familiar with the area. Darwin candidates all of them.
