T-BONED JUST AS TRAIN COMES! OL’ SMOKEY K&O 4035, 5 DARWINS ON THE TRACKS & SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 

It's almost as if people's brains stop working once they approach that intersection in La Grange..😂 Hope everyone's OK ❤😊

It's good to see some proactive police activity on trespassers and gate-runners. Even if they were only given a verbal warning, walking or playing on active tracks is no joke. Where I worked, we only saw police take action after someone was hurt. Each of those cars weighs 286,000 lbs versus the 150-200 lb human body. It's no contest who will win in that situation. And usually in our incidents, the police were notifying the next of kin...

A family of Darwins and that poor El Camino.

So happy I made the Grab Bag! Thank you Virtual Railfan!

Good to see the Police preventing incidents.

oh no!!!! poor Camino!

11:54 America's favorite sport; running traffic lights.

Its Good to see La Grange is keeping up the standards of Stupidity we`ve come to rely on.

@11:56 is why there are so many accidents at grade crossings. A mad dash to beat the train to go nowhere, and both of their brains stopped working.

Nice to meet the Wichita law enforcement informing the tourists of potential spontaneous combustion in that highly volatile area.... (see numerous past videos) it's the Bermuda Triangle for fires.

It seems this country has such a large number of wonderful drivers.

The Deranged of La Grange strike again.

Well at least the driver was respectful enough to hang around and not use the train for 😑

Nice fallen flag roadnames on some of these freight cars

That el Camino driver was looking at the train and had plenty of time to stop. Both parties at fault with truck taking the higher percentage.

Another really exciting episode of trains around the country for us train fans to watch and those certain people who can't wait for the trains to get out of the way take care out there around the tracks and stay safe Thank You.🇺🇲🇨🇦👋🤠👋🇨🇦🇺🇲 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲🇨🇦💨💨

On the 70 inch TV, the Camino did a rolling stop, but the pick up turning, did not have his left turn signal on. 50 - 50

Funny to see a train in real life 2 days before this video 😂 the CSX with 2 KCS in fairport I saw in Bergenfield NJ Saturday

12:00 It should be a crime to crash an El Camino or other classic vehicle. The driver should be publicly shamed.

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains, especially 2 vehicles t-boned before a train is coming in La Grange, Kentucky, the Heritage Units, and so much more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you.

10:36 Old Smokey and only one eye (ditch light) on top of that.

That guys poor El Camino. Smash ! Right in front of an approaching train too.

At 7:24 you can hear what I believe is the air compressor, I've also been told it's the turbo kicking in. ?????

Some great catches tonight, thanks VRF, especially Indiana Harbor Belt. All I need to see now is a Coil Car from the fabulous Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad.

Not the el Camino! 😢

Hopefully, they can find the parts needed to repair that classic El Camino involved in that fender bender in La Grange.

I really enjoyed today. Thank you

One thing I like the best about these grab bags is that they catch a lot of old fallen flag cars on here. Sometimes a fallen flag car doesn't even have a logo on it. I occasionally see cars marked for SCL (Seaboard Coast Line) along the CSX bowline, usually gondolas and some of those are marked maintenance of way. The Family Lines hoppers are also an occasional sight through here and every now and then also have SCL call letters. I've even seen a couple of cars marked for the C&O and one was even marked BO with a barely legible Chessie System logo on the side. (I'm not sure why it was missing the "&" between the B and O.) So the next time you're watching trains, check out the call letters by the car number. It might be an old car from one of your favorite fallen flags. Also, it's great to see many young people going to model train shows. Some people think it's a dying hobby, but as long as people like trains, there's sure to be people that will want to run model trains.

🌲🍁🇮🇳🍁🍁 Nice footage!

*😊❤ Nice Catches*

Just checked out this video on my smart TV. Very good.

Some good MOW equipment in this video, K&O EMD putting on a smoke show!🛤🚂

Looked like the El Camino did not come to a complete stop and if not then the fault is his. Can't see if the truck stopped or not but maybe their were some alert eyes watching.

Thank you!😊

Love it

Another nice Grab Bag :) !

Thanks as always 😊

Great seeing the Scaletrains booth at Amherst at the end, especially the decorated samples of the SD45X, excited to get mine!

Both drivers were at fault. When the crossing lights start flashing you're supposed to stop immediately, regardless if the gate is up or down.

Busted Tracks are not playgrounds good thing they were spotted by the RR cops. The things train crew's see .

From the footage we saw, it appears both vehicles blew their stop signs. It's possible the white truck stopped before the footage began though.

Wish I was there - would have maxed out the plastic buying those Ferromex diesels

Almost didn't see that second train.

Great grab bag! I didn’t know you had a PTZ at Burlington. I’m adding that to my dash on my VRF 9 cam dash!

LoL good ol dummies from Louisville moving to LaGrange 😂 gotta love it

12:24 rest in pieces el Camino

@ 18:48, I lived half a block from the IHB when I was a kid living in Bellwood, Illinois. I'm just reminiscing . Have a blessed day, everyone.

When the gate is down we have to stop

Maybe this easy. Don't turn left of right on the RR . Tracks, just saying the city does have a sign department.

At 2:00... A member of the Periodic Table Set of Rail Cars! Any others? Carbon, Sulphur, Hydrogen...?

Bring back Chessie!

Nice to see the Fuzz show up in Kansas. Would like to have seen them detained and produce ID if only so they get the idea that they have committed a criminal act.

There are bots with inappropriate profile pics in the comments. I wish RU-vid would do something about it.

I'm confused. Both as to why the Wichita PD was called, and as to why that officer was labeled a darwin candidate when he/she showed up.

Thank goodness the CSX train at LaGrange was rushing coils of steel to help fix the traffic accident

So who had the right of way 11:55. The Dodge Ram or the late 70's El Camino?

@10:33 Habemus papam!

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

Hi Grady, Jones family, VRF clan, and everyone at the show (loved the "One Track Mind" shirt!). I was dismayed at seeing those parents in Wichita teaching their kids to be Darwins on the tracks, and then that cop showed up--heh heh heh...😏And can anyone please tell me what that piece of equipment was in Roanoke at about 13:50? Thanks in advance--another great one!

11:54

12:10 😮

Modernity. A steam-representing diesel locomotive.

That Me My Sister, My Uncle, My Dad , My Cousin In 16:07 Thank You 😁😁

Taking a left in front of oncoming traffic is ticket, all day every day.

Glad the people are ok but the el Camino Man 😢

It's the final braincell dooo do dodododo

Did I see some old GG-1s in Roanoke?

4035 definitely not meeting Tier 4 emission standards!

8:39 I caught that one actually

CSX at he be like

I've noticed signs near stations '212.1' , '212.2', etc. Googling netted nothing on point. I'm guessing they represent something about where to stop the loco to line up the cars along the station platform, but that is WA guessing. Can anyone fill me in? Thanks.

That truck didn't even have his turn signal on when he was turning left!! The other driver thought he was going straight and probably turned his head for a second!! The truck should be at fault!!

Now we can add Lagrange to the score card: 😮 maybe- didn't involve the train 🤔. Your thoughts...

Love it! And here is the news: KEM means Keep 'Em Coming! The Grab Bags I mean! Suggestion: why not conclude a Grab Bag with a piece of classical? ~ music I mean. The USA has got some of the finest symphony orchestras in the world. Don't if the other Virtual Railfan prefer the other style but just a thought. Wonder if the William Tell Overture would fit the bill...

WTH IS THE NS HERITAGE UNIT DOING ON CSX

what is that on the track at 14:07?

When is the Federal and state EPA’s going to finally suspend Watco’s K & O? for these continuing violations.

And as to the traffic crash in the middle of the intersection; The white work truck had already stopped and was waiting to turn Left. The El Camino failed to stop at the stop sign, probably because they wanted to get past the gates coming down. In any case, they should have yielded to the work truck turning left, making the El Camino driver at fault for the accident. This is an excellent lesson here, to slow down and be more patient as we drive. So many times people are in a hurry that they forsake safety to save a little time. Had the El Camino driver simply waited for the train, they probably would have made it to wherever they were going a lot sooner than they did! But the crazies will hate me for saying this and they will also be the next ones to get in an accident.

Poor el camino

The el Comino didn't stop at the stop sign and should bw found at fault in this accident.

7:57 bkty ex Ann arbor or an

Were is the model train show BLC?

Thank you, VR. 10:36 Mo' air pollution than a steam locomotive. What is wrong?

Poor el camino but both driver are at fault and dumb
