HIGH DESERT HORSEPLAY! WHEELSET CHANGE ON A TANK CAR, 2 SANTA FE ENGINES SIDE BY SIDE! NEW PANT CPKC 

New York Central tribute engine, more memories of my bestie and I hanging out in his New York Central room filled with memorabilia from his dad putting in 30 years with them. Thanks so much for your astounding work!! The picture of driving the last spike was wonderful!!

There’s me at 21:39 in the blue! Glad to be in it.

I split a gut watching the 2 ‘Darwin Candidate(s)! 😅😅😂😂❤

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Heritage Units, electric transformers, train meets, an adorable bird chirping, CSX military train in Folkston, Georgia, and so much more, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a wonderful week.

New York Central hu and CSX 911 in the opening clip! 😁

Wow, those two Darwins in that ATV were lucky they didn't hit a big rock or large object and tip over to the right on to the tracks.

Excellent footage, enjoyed every minute.

I did not expect that horn show did you

You know it's going to be a bad day at work when you have to call the Hulcher Auto Club to come and change a flat on your Tank Car...

@ 24:30 - What could be more authentic than Civil War reenactors taking photos with their cell phones? LOL.

4:25 - This rail car does not exist. Move along, citizen.

Never thought I would see Civil War Reenactors doing a reenactment of the battles that took place in Pennsylvania on a railcam.

Hey all, at 14:20 the box cars with the tarps for roof, what would they be hauling? I was in Memphis last week and saw similar cars and was curious.

0:58 The livery races of 2024 are heating up. 😂

Straussburg civil war battle awesome

I died laughing at that Peter Griffin picture

How much does one of those wheelsets weigh? That was a really cool changeover, but I have a feeling that it's not as easy as they made it look. I loved the robin and the sparrow in Cumberland and the gorgeous new CPKC engine, and that ending is going to haunt me for a while. Thank you!

Anybody know anything about the machine at 5:59 and 6:24? If I had to guess, I would say it unloads or loads a tank from a railcar and transports it to a ramp or dock and vis versa. Looks like it has railroad wheels and looks like it might also be capable of changing its height.

4:01 At CPKC, we'll leave the doors open for ya!

Also 9:34 the 5x watermark begins but the video remains in Real time. Probably intended for the 10:13 mark instead.

Does anyone else wave back to the people that wave at the camera?

We rode the Strasburg RR 2 days before the re-enactment with another hardcore RR buff from Fairport, NY. In the early 70s to the mid 80s I used to run RR crews all over NY and PA for the D&H and Conrail with my home base in Binghamton NY, taking crews as far as Buffalo, Allentown, Corning, Albany and a bunch of other cities when I drove/dispatched for Yellow Cab out of Binghamton!!

I was on the amtrak train with the white and blue dome car

Very classy 'Central Pacific' "Promontory Point" Observation Car. The appearance of the 'P&LE' CSX Heritage Unit was a delightful surprise the other day. Strasburg re-enactment actually not too far from Chambersburg which was sacked and burned by Confederate forces during the War Between the States as retribution for Federal's destruction of Southern facilities. The black and white photography added an almost Matthew Brady touch to the scene. Great Grab Bag

I don't think there were any cell phones back then to film the battle!😂 Great Grab Bag as usual! Love the Robin singing!😍

Is That Peter Griffin from Family Guy!?

Lets stop the train and block all crossing to get wheels change

Finally a train i see on the railcam is in a grab bag 8:32

0:10 wow, CSX 1853 and 911 together along with two GP40-3s 0:42 CSX 1982 leading (again at 2:12 and 16:28 and 21:00) 1:40 NS 8104 and five other locomotives behind it 2:27 boxcar on a flatcar and a large transformer. A Herzog locomotive is with the tail DPU 3:12 CPKC local job. I noticed that more Canadian Pacific locomotives now work around knoche yard 3:53 CPKC 9375 and KCS 4858. When 9375 was on display in KC, I wrote "sub 2 MrBNSFtrain" on the dusty fuel tank's left side. 4:22 DODX boxcar between autoracks an intermodal well cars. It probably transports some sort of fuel judging by the lack of large doors 4:38 WAMX 1702 5:18 Promontory Point private car. I've seen that car a number of times over the past 15 or so years 5:38 long-hood-forawrd CSX ET44AH being the only power with military tanks 6:33 Patrick Henry private cars. (again at 18:54) I've also seen these numerous times as they tend to stay in kC 6:55 dune buggy races a train 8:40 smoky exhaust and a West coast Express F59PHi 8:47 Peter Griffin spotted in Fokston, Georgia! "This is worse than the time I was on Virtual Railfan!" 10:13 interesting to see wheels changed on a main track 12:35 Mercedes Unimog! Although common as fire trucks, snowplow trucks, off-road racing, and even moving train cars in Europe, only about 200 were ever sold in America 13:20 I've never seen a UP local job in Chehalis before. this one has an SD70ACe and SD60 (now upgraded to SD62 specs) 15:18 WOW! warbonnet 692 as DPU passing warbonnet 669 on a local job 16:07 tank car on a flatbed 16:44 Cotton Belt gray GP60 17:02 containers with doors all over 17:38 BNSF 8-car OCS 19:43 northern sky private cars (again at 21:45) 19:58 two people climb between stopped train cars, five minutes apart! 20:23 ex-Citirail unit on a CN train through Elkhart 21:13 the same West coast Express F59PHi on a different train 22:12 different horn on BNSF 5052

8:45 why does CSX have a F59PHI trailing

8:55 🤣🤣

BNSF needs to buy.2 of Amtrak’s old P42s for they’re OCS train and make 1 p42 into the Santa Fe heritage units & the Other p42 into the Burlington heritage unit

Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy

21:16 what is this engine doing?

uh who is she that greeted

Hey Lois remember the one time I went to Folkston and got on the virtual railfan grab bag?

I have surmised that the Santa Fay engines are BNSF heritage units. BNSF saved on the cost of painting that way.

Goodness why is it that nearly every Santa Fe engine I see in your videos are in desperate need of a paint job??

13:57 Never expected a UP SD70ACE to have a rare K3HL, as much as a BNSF AC44CW with a rare P3 at 22:13.

Nice catch in Folkston with mixed manifest and Military loads and power running long hood forward, SF warbonnets meeting 👍,nice video!🛤🚂

"Promontory Point" was not the site of the inset photo (Promontory Summit of Golden Spike fame).

18:42 what is this?

Love Your Videos! My Best Train Viewing, Was Driving A Truck From Oklahoma To California. Entertaining Even At Night, Watching The Engineer Open The Throttle Thru The Desert.

Amazing, I did not know they had cell phones during the Civil War.

I inherited my Dad’s pre World War 11 Lionel train collection. Over the past 30 years some pieces have been gifted to other family members. Boys Clubs and a neighbor who loves Lionel as much as any train collector, however the New York Central four Engine unit has stayed with me on a shelf in the family Room. The Lionel flashing light crossing gates and signal towers have been modified to turn on with a switch thanks to my handy husband. I remember the days when the big Irishman ran the trains all year round with his half dozen girl crew. I was the conductor, now I am the caregiver. My grandsons prefer Lego battery trains, pure sacrilege!.

GP60 b unit at 22:45

24:30 LOL! Lower right corner: "Lemme get your picture...look deader!"

At 4:55, an interesting top-down view of a singing American Robin. His friend appears to be an immature House Sparrow.

I wonder what cell service was like on Little Round Top.

Single locomotive hauling 31 tanks.

So glad I made it to the grab bag again! Was at 21:38 wearing the vest!

At 22.44 is that an EMD b unit?

20:56est. Used obvious BNSF wants the War Bonnet Santa Fe's to just fade away.

2516 is a gp30 right

I don't like watching these guys who edit their film clips, I personally like to count the cars on various trains, I understand that they want to show as much as they can & that it is all about the engines & not what they have behind them, but still I have been counting the cars since I could count, now I'm 80 yrs old & still like to count

12:48 tf is a unimog doing here??

Tank car: Ho hum, Hulcher's work is never done.

Yup, that's a train

*Awesome Catches*

Railfan Gone with the wind. Who woulda thunk. ..Good stuff. Thanks.

Excellent Grab Bag as always. You guys are great!

good day when vr uploads

Love the Unimog at Folkston, Ga!

Peter
