QUEBEC GATINEAU ENGINE AT ELKHART! DOUBLE EXECUTIVES, TOWBOAT QUINCY, PASSENGERS MISS STATION & MORE

[@Cpr1234]

So it seems the eclipse will probably be either next Grab Bag or its own compilation. Either way would be fantastic.

[@brunobiava4833]

@Cpr1234 ... I'm pretty sure that Princeton, Indiana had good weather for it, in Albion, Illinois they had the Longest time in Totality being dead centered in the Path... Regardless, I'm with you... It was weird even if you didn't look directly at the Eclipse in the Path of Totality just to see the 360° of Red Twilight in the middle of the day!

[@davidrojas2521]

So….after watching the eclipse today, here’s a great way to end the evening…watching trains!!

[@RailRider9571]

these camera operators are spot on!! thanks for your time to enhance our enjoyment!!

[@gp3829]

Tucson @04:00 I had to smile at the Cat, "decisions, decisions, shall I do a 'Darwin' here - that camera's bound to be watching me". Chehalis @11:30, I like the way Grainger trains always seem to call-up the Fallen-flag Hoppers for another turn of duty. Nice to see Tourists at the Horseshoe Curve treated to such a good display of classic EMDs. Wichita @09:40 - 2 No. Executive SD70MACs, spot-on, thanks VRF.

[@ChainsawNW1218]

Manifest at Horseshoe Curve had nice old power,nice CP GE, lots of old road names, CP GE with wipers on, great video!🛤🚂

[@TrainGuy765]

Hi, I like trains

[@TheQuebecRailfan]

Am glad you do, and i hope so

[@Yormsane]

3:47 Tucson Tabby thinks: "Nope, not gonna be a Darwin nominee today."

[@brunobiava4833]

@Yormsane ... did you notice that it wasn't behind the Yellow Line? Kitty cut it close...

[@the-terrible63]

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains, especially the adorable cat in Tucson, Arizona, Heritage Units, and so much more, I like them, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.

[@GregKenyon-v6i]

Very good videos I enjoy all of them even the cat sitting by the track

[@donnaj9964]

Loved the fireworks display in Georgia! I also liked the Canadien Pacifique, Quebec Gatineau and Spirit of Law Enforcement engines--and of course the rabbit and that sweet cat sitting down to think things over. I hope there will be some eclipse footage in the next one--this one was another terrific job!

[@lot2196]

Great eclipse today. We live in west central Ohio, about 15 miles from the center line of totality. It was amazing.

[@TsalagiRailfan]

I was watching the Waycross cams when that Georgia Central B40-8 left the yard. That was pretty cool, especially given how rare that model has become. Also, those OCS cars leaving Waycross on a manifest were actually on the tail end of the same train as the B40-8. That consist had everything! Nice catches all around, especially the cat.

[@lowellvillerailfanproductions]

Hope everyone had fun watching the eclipse

[@TrainGuy765]

I definitely did

[@tux_the_astronaut]

[@lot2196]

[@mouton1053]

13:27 those new Amtrak paint schemes make the old Genesis models look spiffy! Thought they were Chargers for a second!

[@BluebirdICbustrainorganfan]

A few kilometres away from my house, there’s a Q&G railway and I can hear the horn of these train everyday

[@TheQuebecRailfan]

Same

[@colefd]

Wayx Swamp Fest went big for the fireworks!

[@jamesghiorzoe107]

Seems late in the evening for a fireworks show.

[@amywright2243]

Chessie is still my favorite. 😻

[@TheMetGuy]

Love these grab bags

[@Branddenthepinkgoldpeachfan]

*Awesome Catches*

[@tweakedts]

Hello Virtual Railfan and VRF community! Can someone please help me identify the two objects being hauled at 9:23! They are always highlighted in the grab bag videos when noticed. Also, the two yellow objects covered in blue tarp that follow at 9:35 mark! Thank you!

[@Elliottblancher]

CSX just announced a Western Maryland Heritage Unit, so be on the lookout for it soon

[@williamflowersrailfannerpr3808]

Well a cat 🐈 for a Railfanner how cool is that

[@jamesghiorzoe107]

At 12:39, surprised that the train did not back up to the station.

[@acuarofilio]

The ferromex equipment 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

12:48 northeast regional cafe cad on Midwest train

[@tractorrailfan_1]

I saw a cp multimark grain hopper today

[@heavenlydays2838]

The Chessi Systems locomotove DID NOT get Highlighted in the 1st clip. Rare.

[@thebnsftracker1317]

What were the fireworks for?

[@TheQuebecRailfan]

QGRY is my town's shortline, i am glad it got caught in virtual railfan, but i think its a bit far from quebec

[@johnchambers8528]

Obviously the cat was a descendant of Chessie the railroad kitten. Even though the cat was not near CSX property was looking for either the Chessie heritage engine or old freight car that still had Chessie on the side. Cats can be rail fans too.

[@jop4649]

11:00 Why is Montana trains in Missouri???

[@Trackside_Railfanning]

BNSF took over Montana Rail Link earlier this year.

[@philipjesse2271]

Wonder what they were celebrating at the end ?

[@kennethhanks6712]

Waycross annual Swamp (Okeefenokee) Festival.

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

Just another Saturday night in Waycross??

[@stephenhudson8739]

Or that wind was Howling at fort madison

[@electladynanci]

The tabby cat who literally sat down to watch the train, is a railfan.......

[@Kassandria-wc1tj]

The cat was wiser then some people. a side loading container.

Hi

[@leroyducharme2477]

😄😄👍👍👍

[@keystonedriving8180]

It's a sad comment on the US that a freight car gets a mention because it has not been defaced with graphiti. It's not exclusively a US problem but it seems to be more common.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

In some ways it's worse in Europe where defacing passenger cars is almost normal.

[@John-cg8hb]

It's more common because we have A LOT more railroad equipment.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

@@John-cg8hb You have a lot more PASSENGER equipment than we do. So, it is understandable, and it's easier for our passenger rail operations to protect their equipment since there is less of it. I'm primarily a passenger fan, so defacing it really POs me, especially well-kept historic private equipment.

[@Henrytherailfan]

So. When can I grab my bag?

[@kensbackshop6399]

I went out to see the eclipse and i got mooned

[@rogertemple7193]

I really enjoy watching and have a wonderful week Thank You V.R. Grab Bag. 🇨🇦🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲🇨🇦
