WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU… NUCOR SWITCHER! ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF HUGE BOXCAR, 2 STEAM ENGINES

[@EliWCoyote]

3:30 Hehe, "Oh yeah, we forgot that doesn't apply to trains" 🙂

[@donnaj9964]

That poor truck owner...but the steam engine footage was wonderful--especially with everybody waving at everybody else and the Amish guys in black and white. The lightning in Big Sandy was beautiful, and the car show in Revy was a blast--thanks for another great one!

[@StephenLevine-r4d]

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the fire department’s response time and not the “extended warranty”

[@Yormsane]

6:50 "Bacon Ridge" sounds like a breakfast joint most railfans would approve of.

[@andyolin3988]

I would eat there, because........? BACON!!🤩😍🤪

[@donnaj9964]

I was wondering if it got named that because somebody shot a hog up there...

[@foreststewart1968]

Steam locomotive in black & white. Nice touch! It's the little details!

[@yyzedd]

The black and white footage at 8:16 is the best yet - if not for the modern string lights in the foreground, it would be perfect. Is it 2024 or the early 1900's?

[@tytn9978]

There's nothing quite like a "classic" vehicle show! Brings back memories of the days gone by when I could name every car and truck make that passed by our family farm!

Beautiful cars at Revelstoke. Been there done that fighting a car fire. Been a volunteer firefighter for 47 plus years. Let the young whipper snappers do it now. lol.

[@tallmansfavorites7563]

How do the "odd" pieces of rail equipment,like the grain inspector car or some local grain association grain car get inspected and certified OK to operate. I assume they have to pass some sort of annual(?) safety check?

[@kennethhanks6712]

It is the responsibility of the owner/operators of said equipment just as if they are an operating railroad. If they don't have the "know how" they go thru contractors.

[@highlife0586]

At 02:21..seeing those steam engines reminds me so much of my grandfather who worked on the railroad for forty some years..at 10:06 lets hope whoever the driver of that truck was got out of there and was uninjured. That truck is done.

[@hunterwolfscar2287]

Did That Red Pickup Truck Had Overheat Problem?

[@georgeadams1853]

Probably a fuel line or oil leak. Some makes and types of vehicles are more prone than most to engine fires, but I don't think Nissan is one of them. (Looked like a Nissan badge on the tailgate as it was being hauled away.) Makes you wonder where he last had the engine serviced.
