AMAZING MOWS IN ACTION! FENDER BENDER, GIFT TOSSED FROM CAB, PATRIOT RAIL ENGINE & MORE! 

That “something” at Elkhart was a vest. I was the one who got it. Earlier that day the engineer tossed me 61W’s paperwork

John Henry would be lying on the floor crying if he could see that MOW equipment driving spikes so quickly and easily. The whole process was just fantastic to watch--thank you!

It's my very first time seeing railroad track maintenance cars working on track! Absolutely amazing watching the precision built into these cars! I've often wondered how they actually replaced ties and spikes and dealt with the roadbed gravel? I was mesmerised watching them all work together in unison! Very cool 😎 👌 😊❤

Interesting watching the MOW equipment doing their thing.

As you all know, I love block signals that drop...and today was no exception, thank you. However, your tribute on the locomotive from UP was really classy. And then (drum role), I really was fascinated with the MOW in Whitchta, KS. THAT was so interesting and then the distant shot of all the machines rounding the bend in the background was priceless. I think I will rewind that again!!!

Double DPU action in Chattanooga with PRR GE ES44AC in lash up,scenic at Horseshoe Curve, alot better lighting on new cam in Roanoke VA, cool 😎 to see Conductor throw out gift to railfans,I've had that happen a couple of times when I was filming in Wytheville VA, threw out a safety key chain NS and a Blue Ridge Division hat at Montgomery Tunnel near Shawsville and Christiansburg VA, nice crews,nice video and footage,enjoyed the MOW equipment!🛤🚂

I love watching the MOWs in action.

Thanks for the sequence on track maintenance. I've often wondered what those weird machines do!

Watching the maintenance equipment was fascinating. Some of the ties they left in the track were pretty rotted out in my opinion. And some of the ties removed actually looked pretty good.

Thanks for the mow equipment I like watching mow equipment do there work

Fascinating watching the track maintenance, greetings from Melbourne, Australia,enjoy watching the American trains

Hats off to the cam operator....great job! NS is doing tie work west of Cleveland, I'll get to see that crew in action.

I could watch those MOW machines all day long. Fascinating!

The MOW machines were fascinating. Thanks!!

I love watching track machines at work like at 17:35. Pretty cool.

11:08. To the couple, get a room! 😂 Ahhh, love by the railroad. Just like the movies. Big Game train? Love watching the machines used for maintenance. Ingenious!

Great GB ! In Wichita Those Mow Workers are Earning their Pay ! We’ve Come a long way Gang !😂👍🏽! Still can’t drive in LaGrange Ky 😂

AC/DC's "Who Made Who" came to mind during the MOW/tie replacement segment in Wichita.

I believe that’s a 4 way stop in La Grange. Doesn’t look like the car even hit the brakes.

Spettacolari catture ❤

Enjoy all the videos and Fantastic video on the Maintenance crew repair track.

Really enjoyed watching the track gang. Thanks.

You liked BNSF1104 and company so much you had to replay it again a minute later. 7:05 and 8:30

thank you for bringing the camera back in Springfield Massachuetts

Wonder why these engines aren't washed more often, like UPS does their trucks....service, fuel wash rack, hit the road, huh?

After Seeing the Tens of Thousands of Old Used Railroad Ties, it’s Great to See them efficiently getting Picked Up and Safely Disposed of Somehow, Somewhere. 🤔

Another of the ones that have left Louisville that still drive like they still live there (they are good at running stop signs )

Now that was interesting video of the worker bees.

Would like to go to the Curve just to look at the rocks, Eastern Geology is so interesting, and yes the track planners have to keep that in mind...

Very cool🎉🎉

The video was one of the most interesting ones y'all have done! Thanks! 👍

26:00 Coming soon to to a landscape supply store near you.

*Awesome*

0:08 CSX 1836 0:32 two Amtraks enter Springfield station. One could easily be pulled by one loco, and the other should be a DMU 1:00 UP 6748 with metal plaque leading 1:51 private cars over Horseshoe Curve (again at 5:50) 3:50 Patriot Rail loco 4:44 ex-BNSF dash 9 now owned by NS 4:57 tarp caught in a tanker 5:07 double Cascades train! Lead unit is a P42, all cars are Horizons, middle cabbage is in Cascades livery, 2nd unit is an SC44, and the rear cabbage is in phase V 6:26 NS, CSX YN2, and KCSM gray triple-header. Conductor also tossed something to the two filming the train 7:04 H1 and warbonnet dash 9 doubleheader, another warbonnet dash 9 is DPU 2:30 MRL SD70ACe on a coal train 8:02 baretable intermodal cars, and a flatbed carrying a wrecked one 9:30 blue car didn't know how to stop 10:30 8-unit lash-up including a BBF unit and KCSM gray 11:13 hi-rail truck races an intermodal 12:34 wow, a Superliner at the end of an autorack train! Probably the closest thing to an Auto Train Skykomish will ever see 12:46 warbonnets and CEFX blue units trailing 17:35 closeup spike removal followed by the old ties being pushed out, slid out further by another machine, collected by cranes, and replaced with new ones which are then tamped and spiked. Ballast is then graded and tamped again 25:28 ties that are collected by these cranes are then loaded in a hi-rail truck. This tie replacement sequence could've been its own video.

Enjoyed!

All I can think of when I see that collision is the voice from 3D Ultra Lionel Traintown saying, "That's a Fender-Bender!"

I have sort of mixed feelings about seeing those Wabash and Pennsylvania heritage units being relegated to DPU service. It is kind of a bonus catch when you see them later in the consist, but it feels like they should be up front, flying the fallen flags proudly.

It's grap bag Time

Awesome grab bad as always 😊, really enjoy watching the demolition project on the Kansas City Missouri,Doc,s Caboose east cam location

3:57 I saw the same locomotive on l324

I've got a photo of that BNSF train here in san antonio on the twenty fourth with a Depressed Well car with the transformer on it that I took

9:05 It sure is sad to see those Montana Rail Link pusher locomotive lashups broken up and single locis on the tracks to Vancouver's Neptune port.

They still need a human to put the tie plate on the end of the tie. That looks like the only step that machines don't do. Awesome

Unload this side only. Probably cause the gate openers either are better oiled for turning radius or the other side doesn’t have them.

4:59 Horror !!! Train ran over a ghost.

Hey guys!!! The video at 8:29, repeats at 8:32. FYI!

That’s a lot of old railroad ties on that truck

@ 5:05 RAIL GHOST!

Marklin produced a Pennsylvania HO locomotive with number 8102 for their 2024 new items.

hello Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy

I thought that intersection was a 4-way stop? 😖😳

I really enjoy seeing the DPU'S i don't know why I just do and this is another awesome episode of Virtual Railfan Grab Bag with my favorite trains around the country especially in my home state of Oklahoma take care everyone and have a blessed Easter Sunday Thank You.🇺🇲🤠🇺🇲 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲🇨🇦💨💨

It looks like something that they don't have

The packaging from lunch. 😅

Sure would like to know just what becomes of those worn out ties!

At 09:32, a solid hit. Then the car goes the wrong way.

Coal keeps the lights on and the EV’s charged.

Awesome May need to have all railroad company to help with Baltimore 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

we have trains in Florida!

It’s a roasty-toasty fake bonnet.

I hope BNSF doesn't repaint the Montana Rail locomotives

26:26 Me trying to grab all of the potato chips in the bag and failing miserably.

El problema de renfe mercancias es el total abandono de sus locomotoras y vagones,no sólo por el grafiteo si no también por la suciedad . Ningún país de Europa presenta este estado lamentable. Si se gastase el dinero en vigilancia y multas a los grafiteros,se ahorraría bastante.miren cualquier video y no verán locomotoras grafiteadas y tan sucias

First!

Lo de renfe mercancias es vergonzoso,locomotoras sucias y grafiteadas,en ningún país de Eur,opa o norteamerica se ve este lamentable es pectáculo ,los trenes alvia van normalmente muy sucios,sólo interesa la alta velocidad

If I were to run a block on our club layout I would lose my membership.

Would you please stop playing that gimpy 'Pacman' sound whenever a CP symbol appears on a railcar? Maybe it was funny once, but . . . that was many, many years ago!!
