The auroras were obscured by clouds for three straight nights where I live, so it was cool to see them here.

[@lynsmith]

Great Music With The Dancing Northern Lights 👏🏽

[@gp3829]

Nice catches of Fallen Flag Freight cars tonight and the SW7 was good to see, thanks VRF. Like the Northern Lights, they came and went.

[@the-terrible63]

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the CSX military train in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Heritage Units, and so much more, I like them, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and happy Mother's day to everyone.

[@rogertemple7193]

I really enjoy watching all of these trains it's better than anything on television today and VR Grab Bag is my favorite channel for watching trains around the country Thank You Grab Bag.🇺🇲🤠🇺🇲 🇺🇲🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲

FP45, I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

[@Keikdv]

So there are two IIII engines on USA rails. The barge-combination seen at 18:00 is the same that struck the Fort Madison bridge, seen in the previous Grab Bag. Strange to see VRF go back in time...

[@citibear57]

One of the nicest endings to a Grab Bag video! The Northern Lights were spectacular, and the musical selection was perfect. What a great tune and performance 👍

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Too bad Revy wasn't there for that guy to wave at!😅

[@charleswoods9938]

Hey those Northern lights were outstanding that's the first time I have ever seen these Northern Lights and that was great to see it was a great view

[@jacktaggart2489]

The NS 'Lackawanna' Heritage Unit looks pristine in its refreshed look. Great catch.

[@Fyrfotog2]

The museum is fundraising to repaint the FP45. Look it up to donate! And that's not a 86ft long NW box.

[@RailfannerTheo]

SANTA FE IS BACK!! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!! anyways awesome grabbag!

[@ryanfrogz]

Those 2-bay NS hoppers at 9:16 are pretty sweet in their own right. Old Pullman PS-2 hoppers.

[@daveintucson8541]

That cut right at @11:59 made it look like that guy got run over 🥺

[@joepeach997]

LOL, his uncle was part of the Philadelphia experiment.

[@poowg2657]

We have Santa Fe FP-45 number 92 at IRM. It was finally restored to operational condition in 2018 with a rebuilt prime mover, new trucks and electrical gear. Would be neat to see 93 restored and maybe have the two together for a run.

[@Halo1Buff]

From what I've been told something about 93's prime mover is severely bent. It's not likely to be repaired to running as is and they're striving for a complete cosmetic restoration.

[@Halo1Buff]

That said, I've always wanted it to be. Grew up climbing through her cab at the museum.

[@trainguy-bl4mv]

There is nothing wrong with 93's Prime Mover. It has a bad generator.

[@Halo1Buff]

@@trainguy-bl4mv I lumped the generator in with the engine, I forgot the proper terminology.

[@donnaj9964]

The aurora was gorgeous! We even got some of it down here in Utah, but with a train and that great music, it was a perfect ending to this Grab Bag. Bravo to Chi and the lady with him for their efforts, and I'm glad that #93 is getting some TLC. Another wonderful one--thank you!

[@joeylawn36111]

#93 - was that the year it was made? 😉🙃🤣

Awesome grab bag. Loved the ending sequence with the northern lights and music.

[@coreypeters4170]

0:36, The return of NS 1074 the Lackawanna heritage unit!

[@ChadSimplicio]

CPKC crew in Revelstoke got a nice view of the Northern Lights. Makes you wonder how people during the time of the Carrington Event felt when the planet had that particular geomagnetic storm.

[@user-rh7ew8nw8d]

Finally a army train 😎

[@richardbause2453]

Finally, the Eire gotta spring bath 🛁 and wax job. Was starting to look 👀 a little raggedy. The Virginian sparkles 😊👍👍👍.

[@paulr7547]

We could see the northern lights in Delta British Columbia. Very cool.

[@Cpr1234]

The Northern lights on Friday were incredibly strong, I got to see them here in the UK as well, my first time. Also the BNSF barcode engine, I saw that live on the LAP cam - the one time I actually see an "1111" and it's not Norfolk Southern 😂

[@mjsdean]

But the BNSF number looks just like "1111" not a barcode like the NS 4-ones.

Love the US army locomotive! Love the KCS Grey Ghost DPU on my tanker train

See some good motors and trains on the Grabbags like seeing the Virginian EMD SD70ACE 1069,N&W boxcar 👍,saw the Aurora/Northern Lights 🌌 in VA, lots of pink and some green!🛤🚂

[@Richard-od7yd]

The Good old EIRE / LACKAWANNA RR I remember heating commercials about them 😂😂

[@ThePhilmaywalt]

They used to run a train out of Binghamton at 4:15AM to Hoboken via Scranton that arrived at a little before 7 so that you could catch the "tubes" into NYC. Great memories from when I was about 14!!

0:08 CSX 1853 trailing 0:20 MRL 4313 as DPU 0:29 NS 1074 leading, its paint has been redone recently. NS 6800, a GP34ECO, and IBCX 88, an SW7 originally built for New York Central, are trailing 1:01 NS 1072 leading, it looks quite dirty 1:42 Western Pacifc boxcar 1:54 NS 1069 leading 2:33 BNSF wind turbine train crossing the Burlington bridge 3:39 airplane fuselages leaving Wichita 4:18 NS MOW train with some gondolas and specialized boxcars 5:03 BNSF MOW train led by a warbonnet 6:03 BNSF 3980 and 1111 6:55 fire truck bucket reaching a tower. I got to ride in something similar when the local fire academy had an open house for the kids when I was younger. You could even ride around the block in a fire engine (again at 14:16) 7:40 Soo line hopper 7:49 four locos on a concrete tie train 8:55 this tall gondola is no longer owned by The Bay Line and had its name painted out 9:37 a wave from a welded rail train 10:00 ATSF 93 is going to Mid America Car Inc in Kansas City for a repaint. This 1967 F45 was built to pull both passengers and freight, and was later repainted into the yellowbonnet paint scheme after Amtrak had their own locomotives. It was one of the Super Fleet locomotives and regained its warbonnet paint along with new GE dash 8s and EMD GP60Ms in 1989. 93 has been in Wichita since 1998. 12:22 really faded Rock Island hopper 12:35 CSX 911 leading 13:16 the SW7 again 14:46 BNSF H2, KCS southern belle, CP red, two BNSF H3 units, and a US Army red geep. Ever since I was a kid, I thought it was odd the Army painted their locomotives red instead of green like their tanks. 15:28 NS high hood geep 15:37 CSX 1973 and a single business car 16:14 KCSM gray as DPU 16:30 an assortment of older freight cars 17:09 wow, and old N&W boxcar! This one is red instead of black like the other N&W boxcars that are still in use 18:06 barges pass under the Burlington bridge. It was during a move like this that scrambled the barges at Ft Madison 19:46 CSX 1976 leading. All the units behind it are yN3 and the first few containers are Amazon ones 20:04 NS 8105 leading 20:12 empty nuclear waste car 20:36 Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country- localized entirely within your webcam feed?!

I was trackside waiting for that US Army engine, it took about 9 hours to go from being tied down to passing the cam and I missed it, still upset about it

In some segments you can hear the railcars clacking loudly, is that the joiners being loose? (ON STRAIGHT SECTIONS NOT THE CROSSOVERS)

Every time i see the Virginian & Illinois Terminal units, i look to see if theres a pantograph or trolley pole on them. Then, they really would be Heritage units! How 'bout it NS? Just do it for the memories!
