LIGHTS FLASHING, GATES DOWN AND THEY SIT ON THE RAILS! ENGINE FRONT TRUCK DERAIL, GODZILLA IN CLOUDS 

The car at 4:30 hit the leading edge of the curb. Those sparks were due to the curb ripping something up under the car like the oil pan, or maybe the suspension.

12:28, Huh! Only one container car?!

i almost had to change my underwear at that Austell near disaster

That person in Austell was lucky.

10:45 They just panicked and literally forgot how to drive. That is scary.

Good to see the Steam Railway at Paradise are switching Freight cars on the Interchange for their Freight Customers (01:30)

Those flashing lights mean something 🤔? A gate arm comes down on top of the car 🚗? 2 car lengths to the track and you STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON 🤔😮😫???

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Heritage Units, CSX military train in Cumberland, Maryland, and so much more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a wonderful weekend.

As a still-learning newbie, I had to look up "picking the switch" to find out what had happened--it was bad news, but I'm glad that the train got stopped without further damage. Godzilla was amazing, the bolide in Arvada was beautiful, and that was a totally rockin' ending--thanks for another great one!

27:02 Wow, what a catch! Strayed a long way from its home base in central Wyoming.

Sad to see Western Maryland engine now CSX, love 1309 and the support engines for it, a wonderful train ride. Thanks for your videos, they fill an empty spot in my life.

As dumb as that situation was, the traffic pattern there is very poor. The light should not have turned green as the gate is already going down. That should happen before the crossing activates.

Every year we have a new crop of young drivers that have to learn so much more than they know from Driver’s Ed. And every year we have another crop of old drivers that need to give it up but won’t do it.

WTH in Austell, GA? Why aren't traffic lights synced with crossing signals? Traffic signal turns green while crossing lights are flashing!

What are 3 Orange County CA metrolink commuter train cars doing in Missouri? BTW those are the old ones that are being phased out. They are not safe in crashes...

From the mouths of infants… small boy watching two intermodals passing in opposite directions: "Daddy, why don't they just leave them where they were instead of swapping them over?"

That clik bait picture of the car on the track starts st the 10:10 mark.

Super great video, especially the emptying out of the Motor Pool, LOL. Great job Virtual Railfan!!!

The guy who got out of the car at Austell was probably admonishing that driver for being so careless and dangerous.

Awesome grab bag! I also caught that military train at Martinsburg!

10:34 Guy got honked at for starting to go, which made him stop dead on the tracks, then the green light went away. Quite a few things going on here, but definitely the green light was too short. Honker also just gave up on him and straight up left.

It's lucky that those bridges (like at Fort Madison) have enough space to accommodate the double stacks. If not, double stacks would be unworkable.

I guess the guy in the white pickup couldn't believe his eyes that anyone could be THAT dumb at a crossing, so he had to walk up to the car to see for himself.

We are here to watch trains. Skipping to another train shot half way threw a train is contrary to the very idea of watching trains.

The car broke something important and it was dragging the ground

22:52 impressive stop!!!!

Godzira in Georgia run for the train!

Please lose the music near the end.

Nice video and catch on the Leslie RS3L horn on BNSF GE unit!🛤🚂

Whoopee - Western Maryland.

Awesome grab bag great catches

Gee, was that a case of they almost missed the station in La Plata?

Great to see a fellow Aussie on the channel 🦘

I saw this one myself in Denver back in 2016. I like the Friends Of The 261 sign 3:57 NS high-top hoppers!

Manages to back free before the train gets too close! 12:22 two locomotives, "do not hump" automated inspection boxcar, and one well car with two containers! 12:46 four large transformers and Reading & Northern hoppers. the tanker also has ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on it 13:29 black, fiery exhaust coming from the lead P42 on the California Zephyr.

One is horizon cars, the other is a Talgo 27:54 wow, both MOW and military machines on one train!

That's interesting seeing an open platform passenger car with a door to other passenger cars

Go around and just take random footage of random things and slap it all together and upload it to RU-vid. Then come up with some totally misleading title and a thumbnail that gets people to think that it might be worth watching. This is one of those. I won't be back.

great cloud-spotting!!!

Meteor = awesome

I hate when I click on a baited titled and then can't find the incident. Be nice if you would bookmark it, or something. 👎👎

Great catches and thank you for the ending! God Bless America!

Very great catches especially the Western Maryland.

Too impatient to wait for the train. Then, when they get it, it's "There wasn't enough warning!"

Local's telling the brain dead driver that they need to learn how to drive and not get killed by a train .

Wow, how often do you see a wig-wag of ANY vintage???

One of the best grab bags I've seen.

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

Wow, Metrolink cars in LaPlata! I don't know what I'd do if I saw them in Florida or New York.

1:23 Dats me!!

16:00 What is the triangular box on top of the R J Corman cabs?

Really powerful of United States - very long military train 🇺🇸✊

12:25 what a statement csx

What song was that during the military train? Wow.

The train at the end of the video I caught it going through the village I live in

25:25 Never seen a horn manifold that high, interesting

I vote yes on the outgoing music. 🎸 👍🏻

Please tell the operator in Chahalis WA to stop messing up the videos by panning. The video from there is awful. Please stop!

whats the news on the RJ Corman SD40Ts

20:30, was that a no-grainer on the K line?

Probably insurance scam

I get as mad as Hades when the clips are sped up and cut away when the cam is zooming and out. Wait till cam has stopped zooming in and out before going to next clip. AND NO MORE SPED UP VIDEOS.😡😡😡😡

Wow, that driver was having a total Joe Biden moment.

Is that SIMON at 7:49 getting off at La Plata?

Silly VRF, those lights mean PARK HERE but nobody listens to them.

Lovely grab bag. One born every minute? Seems like every 5 seconds.....

I learned something from Joe Peach today. BNSF has more than one geometry car. I have seen 2 or maybe more. But one of them has more solar panels than the other.

That must have been a transportation battalion on the final train

It's a Pull man Pull .😅 I'm so funny sometimes

0:58 thunder

im first!

You know if you had better equipment you wouldn't have to pause your grab bags videos so people can read the names that are on the side of the cars when you do that it's 10 times worse smdh
