CAR GETS WHACKED IN LA GRANGE, KY! RAILS ON FIRE, DARWIN, SONG ON THE END. 

I've never driven a train, but in university, I did take a course in physics. Even if a train is only moving 5 miles per hour, mass matters. These beasts do not stop on a dime.

( Continued),on the cake! Thank you 😇 😊! Merry Christmas,and a great New Year!! Thank you 😇 😊 💓!

I'm always here to watch the trains around the country because I like watching trains but I'm also here to see what happens on the tracks in LaGrange, KY, as well as people illegally trespassing on railroad property and other train related things here on V.R. Grab Bag Thank You and Merry Christmas. 🎅🎄🎁🎀☃️🎀🎁🎄🇺🇲🇨🇦 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲🇨🇦💨

Another great Grab Bag of videos! Seeing those brand new NS locomotives was a nice catch at night to see the light sparkle off that crisp paint job! Thanks again VR for having these cameras set up across the country! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

14:43. That train travels appx 10 mph through there and folks still get their vehicles sacked and whacked.

Train hits car in LaGrange? No way! Funny - NO, unexpected- NO, avoidable - YES! Please be careful!

21:05 CSX Police arrest coal train for speeding. 😄

17:25...Too bad the crew didn't think to hold some hotdogs over the flames! 😋

Insurance scam and lawsuit scam at its best right there

Boy I'll bet the engineers hate going through Darwinville--I mean LaGrange. Loved "Jingle Bells" at Horseshoe Curve AND Wichita--and I think it's so neat that Metro-North has cars named for Ichabod Crane and the Charter Oak! Ms. Barb, I never knew you, but I bet I would have liked you. Wherever you are now, I hope there are trains there! Another great Grab Bag with another beautiful ending; thanks, you guys. 🌹

Another term we have for the Darwin's is C.I.T. Cadavers In Training.

17:30 - replacing those diamonds (especially the double and quad ones!) just blows my mind every time. Even with power tools, I can just tell what a PITA that must be to get those rails to line up *exactly* where you want them to, and held together strong enough to sustain the weight of freight trains all day, every day.

Who thinks " Richard Petty" when seeing those " Skol" independent engineers.

Thanks for the Elkhart love! It's not called "The City with a ❤" for nothing!

Wow! Great catching all the trains, especially the Heritage Units, including the NS6963, and a car got whacked by a train in La Grange, Kentucky, @Virtual Railfan, thank you.

If only the driver learned to look before going to close to the track .

14:50. I mean I guess they honestly do not believe that the train will hit them. All millions of tons of it can stop on a dime. Or swirve right 😅😅😅😅😅

Another great Grab Bag, Joe. Row Mike Row!!!

It was nice to see,a New Haven engine,on a pure New Haven trackage! The New Canaan branch was one of the earliest electrifications,and it went from DC to AC,and has,now,a 100+ years history! The New Haven,pioneered many things,but the electrifications,were the icing on the ca

In memory of Mrs. Campkin

Love seeing that Norfolk Southern GEVO lead that Amtrak

Classy tribute to a railfan no longer with us.

With the prevalence of incidents I'm surprise they haven't added gates or even at least lights at the other crossings in La Grange

VRF: "Why can't we all just love each other?" Me: "I wish everyone asked that question, and why we can't show more respect to our only home. Maybe the world would be a better place, and we can sit, talk, & railfan, or ride on an Amtrak train."

Thanks for the catches at S. Norwalk Tower. The Commuter trains and Locos are always interesting to see.

Beautiful tribute to Barb Campkin - thank you!

14:37 La Grange collision.

Saw your Christmas Ornament there.

Wow

NC talking about a new passenger rail from Coastal Wilmington NC to Midstate ...And a short high speed rail out of Raliegh.... I'm excited

These are C1 cars designed to work in pairs, of which 10 were built by Tokyu Car Corporation in 1991 to a Comeng design. They were a prototype for the C3 set and most ended up in the hands of SLRG/ Iowa Pacific. 12:57 NS towing Amtrak 13:26 two BNSF locos and an NS high-hood geep 13:55 WOW! Two LTEX F40PHs still in Amtrak colors!

Quite a rare sight ever since the GEVOs came in 24:46 two river rowboats sailing together

Oh man, the musical piece at the end was beautiful in more ways than one. Very nice, Virtual Railfan 👍

hello virtual railfan it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy

Awesome

What was the point of the fire? Were they burning out underbrush around the rails, or what?

Thank you for showing the Saratoga passenger cars passing through Illinois.

Someone tell me a story about 'The Brick'

Cars are getting trapped in fishing car net on Kentucky webcam

Pumpkin Parades are always nice.

Love the Colors on the KCS Units.

Yet again!!! in La Grange. Where else!!!

Score card: Lagrange: 6 Ashland: 5 Fairport: 4 Who's going to get the most DARWIN's driving of the year 😮🤔? Still time ⏰😅.

Seems to be an IQ issue in LaGrange.

It’s interesting how many people just go into full panic mode and just freezes up in a normal situation

14:40 - someone wants a new car for Christmas

What’s the purpose of the fire at the crossing in Deshler? Also, any man re details on the Lagrange accident?

Great ending to a great video

A car gets hit and it wasn’t in Ashland? Amazing.

Did La Grange PD request a copy of the video as part of the investigation?

Awesome song at the end with the tugs.. thanks! and Merry Christmas to you all!

Great ending. Haven't heard it in years. We did sing it at camp, back when.

Can you say "insurance fraud"? Sure, I knew you could.

Nice to see Galesburg in the opening clip!

Ex Amtrak now LTEX Rail F40PHs 401 and 407 at 13:59

Horseshoe Curve, Altoona, Penna. Back in the early 1980s, I jumped over the fence and crossed the tracks to get good photos of two trains moving around the mountains at the same time. Before the Internet, before Virtual Railfan.

Well done ✔ Great editing ✔ Quite the power moves ✔ THANKS VR...😃

🌳👌🇮🇳👌🌳 Nice Video!

Now you're making me cry. Very nice tribute to Barb.

Welded rail train in Roanoke, power move in Decatur, nice lash ups and jingle bells at Horseshoe Curve,car had plenty of time to move, alot of those freight locomotives fully fueld up can weigh up to 250 tons per engine and a big train can take up to a mile or more to stop in emergency, NS brick/geometry train and lots of great trains👍!🛤🚂

Another great Grab Bag Joe. Row Mike Row!!

👍

Love the shiny new NS locomotives

Thank you Virtual Railfan ❤.

What were those f40phs?

16:18 "Here lies the body of Charlie Day, who knew it was his right of way. He knew he was right, as he jogged along, But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong."

❤‍🔥❤🥰😍🤩😘😗

Like that blue caboose and nice to see all the different engines including the passenger train ones. Nice vid.

YOOOOOOOOO im the guy with the camera at 13:15

Blessings and soft hugs to all

Why do they have so many engines? 0:41

Nice little tribute to the departed railfan Barb. LaGrange never disappoints with the 'traffic issues' smh. Excellent outro also. Thank you

Yay no “fIrSt” people

For sure we all wish the sick well-car to get well soon.

Because we live in the last days. According to 2Timothy 3 -1-5, it describes what men would be like. Any one disagree?

WILL YOU STOP IT WITH THE SPED UP CLIPS. UUUGGGHHH.😡
