Our VRF Grab Bags (GB) videos are compiled from content from our cameras as Mods and fans spot something neat while watching our cameras. In the GB you will, of course, find a variety of TRAIN content, special trains, maintenance, steam, diesels, interesting rail cars, cool paint schemes and more. You will also find fun people, city events, boats, planes, cars (sometimes going wild) and nature. Thank you for taking the time to sit back and enjoy these highlight reels that we call "Grab Bags"!

As a still-learning newbie, I had to look up "picking the switch" to find out what had happened--it was bad news, but I'm glad that the train got stopped without further damage. Godzilla was amazing, the bolide in Arvada was beautiful, and that was a totally rockin' ending--thanks for another great one!

[@the-terrible63]

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Heritage Units, CSX military train in Cumberland, Maryland, and so much more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a wonderful weekend.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

The guy who got out of the car at Austell was probably admonishing that driver for being so careless and dangerous.

[@Alan-ln3ls]

Or checking to see if the driver was okay, or both.

[@revharrycwigmoreiii5787]

Super great video, especially the emptying out of the Motor Pool, LOL. Great job Virtual Railfan!!!

[@Wildfire86872]

The car at 4:30 hit the leading edge of the curb. Those sparks were due to the curb ripping something up under the car like the oil pan, or maybe the suspension.

[@donnaj9964]

Thanks--I wondered if maybe the muffler fell off (been there, done that--not fun!) but your explanation makes more sense.

[@virginiacentral]

One of the best grab bags I've seen.

[@davidbrown4823]

Very great catches especially the Western Maryland.

[@Mcdaffodilhill]

Sad to see Western Maryland engine now CSX, love 1309 and the support engines for it, a wonderful train ride. Thanks for your videos, they fill an empty spot in my life.

[@norfolksouthernrailfan2006]

That person in Austell was lucky.

[@ChainsawNW1218]

Nice video and catch on the Leslie RS3L horn on BNSF GE unit!🛤🚂

[@gp3829]

Good to see the Steam Railway at Paradise are switching Freight cars on the Interchange for their Freight Customers (01:30)

[@tytn9978]

great cloud-spotting!!!

[@TheMetGuy]

Awesome grab bag! I also caught that military train at Martinsburg!

[@thebnsftracker1317]

As dumb as that situation was, the traffic pattern there is very poor. The light should not have turned green as the gate is already going down. That should happen before the crossing activates.

[@glynnmurdoch6243]

Great to see a fellow Aussie on the channel 🦘

[@762Media42]

1:23 Dats me!!

[@TinkerTailor4303]

👋👏

[@Yormsane]

27:02 Wow, what a catch! Strayed a long way from its home base in central Wyoming.

[@donnaj9964]

I've never even seen one of those before, and I live next door to Wyoming!

[@slimonion1975]

Awesome grab bag great catches

[@GhostlywandererofAmericanrailr]

Really powerful of United States - very long military train 🇺🇸✊

[@Alan-ln3ls]

From the mouths of infants… small boy watching two intermodals passing in opposite directions: "Daddy, why don't they just leave them where they were instead of swapping them over?"

[@richgerber3524]

Meteor = awesome

[@paulaschlager]

Great catches and thank you for the ending! God Bless America!

[@rms492]

22:52 impressive stop!!!!

[@charleswoods9938]

I saw a slight minor CSX train derailment in Waycross Georgia on Friday no body got hurt

[@tigerphid9677]

It's lucky that those bridges (like at Fort Madison) have enough space to accommodate the double stacks. If not, double stacks would be unworkable.

[@tclem44]

WTH in Austell, GA? Why aren't traffic lights synced with crossing signals? Traffic signal turns green while crossing lights are flashing!

[@francescaa8331]

You're right. That's odd. Everywhere I have lived, lights automatically changed when a train was coming near.

[@willhazyblue]

Godzira in Georgia run for the train!

[@ChaiLatte13]

10:45 They just panicked and literally forgot how to drive. That is scary.

[@michaelpiatkowskijr1045]

That's interesting seeing an open platform passenger car with a door to other passenger cars

[@charlesjames1442]

Every year we have a new crop of young drivers that have to learn so much more than they know from Driver’s Ed. And every year we have another crop of old drivers that need to give it up but won’t do it.

[@roccolawson6703]

I don't understand what you are saying. Once the older drivers are gone, the roads will be unsafe for all drivers. Cars are safe, so that means that people need to be safe behind the wheel.

[@michaelpiatkowskijr1045]

I was coming up fast on this car in a passing lane location. As I was getting ready to pass him, he cuts me off. I pass him on the right and I had plenty of time to pass him safely. The teacher was saying something to him and pointing at me. Was he telling him that I'm a bad driver because I was going the speed limit and didn't want to wait for him or was he telling him that he should have stayed over there. Btw, I was in a semi with a 53' trailer. He was going so slow that I passed him very quickly and I had over 50' of room behind me. He was so close to me when he cut me off that I would have had to slam on my brakes before I hit him. I was always taught if you can't keep up with traffic, let them around you. I'd always find a place I could slow down and get them around so they could be on their way.

[@ryanfrogz]

Part of the issue, especially for older folks who grew up when the car was still a ‘new’ thing, is that it’s just HARD to quit. You were raised with this thing and lived your whole life using it, but now you can’t anymore. Happened to my grandma, my mom had to take the keys away to stop her from driving.

[@modeltrainsandtracks]

It's the same in other countries too. Few people remember that its a privilege to be allowed to drive a killing machine around on open roads, it not a right! This is especially true with the ever increasing numbers of them.

[@Evilminiature]

@@roccolawson6703the older drivers are the most dangerous drivers. So no the roads will be much safer. In fact after the age of 80 it should be revoked because your handling and reflexes are about 10x slower. Not to mention stuff like untreated dementia and Alzheimer’s making elders drive on the wrong side of the road.

[@ssweeps]

What are 3 Orange County CA metrolink commuter train cars doing in Missouri? BTW those are the old ones that are being phased out. They are not safe in crashes...

[@leonardovalladares4315]

They are being refurbish and repainted by amtrak im sure amtrak going make sure those passenger car will be safe before returning them to metrolink

[@ebf82234]

Not necessarily Orange County...Metrolink also runs in LA County FYI.

[@randydobson1863]

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

[@MediumApproachSlow]

12:25 what a statement csx

[@WeenyBeanyHere]

25:25 Never seen a horn manifold that high, interesting

[@IamValentina66]

What song was that during the military train? Wow.

[@coreypeters4170]

12:28, Huh! Only one container car?!

[@abzolute31415]

Wondering if wwot saw it and why it’s so short for 2 locomotives.

[@stephenhudson8739]

It's a Pull man Pull .😅 I'm so funny sometimes

[@stephenhudson8739]

The car broke something important and it was dragging the ground

[@csrrjefflloyd6496]

Gee, was that a case of they almost missed the station in La Plata?

[@lowellvillerailfanproductions]

The train at the end of the video I caught it going through the village I live in

[@msa6931]

i almost had to change my underwear at that Austell near disaster

[@richardbause2453]

Those flashing lights mean something 🤔? A gate arm comes down on top of the car 🚗? 2 car lengths to the track and you STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON 🤔😮😫???

[@jamestappin4741]

20:30, was that a no-grainer on the K line?

[@paulbergen9114]

A good chance they were Frac sand cars headed back to Illinois or Wisconsin

[@ScottOnDrums]

Is that SIMON at 7:49 getting off at La Plata?

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Yes!

[@roydrink]

16:00 What is the triangular box on top of the R J Corman cabs?

[@jacobrodrigueztx]

It appears to be some kind of fan

[@3henry214]

I guess the guy in the white pickup couldn't believe his eyes that anyone could be THAT dumb at a crossing, so he had to walk up to the car to see for himself.

[@9-44CW]

whats the news on the RJ Corman SD40Ts

[@CCT8070Productions]

I Hope RJC Could See The 3 RJ Corman SD40Ts

[@nigelterry9299]

Lovely grab bag. One born every minute? Seems like every 5 seconds.....

That must have been a transportation battalion on the final train

Local's telling the brain dead driver that they need to learn how to drive and not get killed by a train .

[@pootispiker2866]

Silly VRF, those lights mean PARK HERE but nobody listens to them.

[@cowperson4763]

I get as mad as Hades when the clips are sped up and cut away when the cam is zooming and out. Wait till cam has stopped zooming in and out before going to next clip. AND NO MORE SPED UP VIDEOS.😡😡😡😡

[@daphetidroberto797]

Please tell the operator in Chahalis WA to stop messing up the videos by panning. The video from there is awful. Please stop!

[@roystevens4333]

Wow, that driver was having a total Joe Biden moment.

[@daveandbuddy71]

You know if you had better equipment you wouldn't have to pause your grab bags videos so people can read the names that are on the side of the cars when you do that it's 10 times worse smdh

Well, aren't you an ungrateful sonofagun!!😮😮🤨🤬
