Our VRF Grab Bags (GB) videos are compiled from content from our cameras as Mods and fans spot something neat while watching our cameras. In the GB you will, of course, find a variety of TRAIN content, special trains, maintenance, steam, diesels, interesting rail cars, cool paint schemes and more. You will also find fun people, city events, boats, planes, cars (sometimes going wild) and nature. Thank you for taking the time to sit back and enjoy these highlight reels that we call "Grab Bags"! !

That's really something watching that track crew change out a whole section of track like that. A symphony of man and machinery!

It's like installing a piece of flextrack on a layout. The question is did stuff like this inspire flextrack or did flextrack inspire this?

There's a similar video (months ago) of Brightline/FEC laying new track in the same way and I wondered then why other railroads didn't seem to adopt this approach. It's good to see CSX doing such an impressive replacement that way!

If anyone wants to know why they aren't going to fix that wrecked Santa Fe Unit at 10:14 , the reason is written on the bottom of the cab... NSF - Non Sufficient Funds At 11:28 it is interesting how they put their bucket down on the ground to lift the weight off the machine's tracks at the exact moment the tracks would otherwise be putting weight on the (good) railhead and scratching it.

Super. BNSF SD70MAC Executive, the Riverboat, the Jeep at La Grange. However the time being taken to repair the Pavements there has upstaged anything that a UK local Authority could ever manage. Perhaps they could ask the Railroad MOW crews to finish it for them.

@J3scribe 10 ай бұрын

Not sure what you mean about La Grange. A couple years ago CSX tore up the street, ripped out the tracks, resurfaced the sub-roadbed; installed new track and repaved the street.

I mean that if you back-track thru Grab Bags, those pavements have been half-finished, for a long time - which leaves me a bit puzzled.@@J3scribe

2:20 I have to figure that there isn't anything wrong with the NS engines, unless there's some miracle that made them both have a problem. It's probably a wet radiator suddenly being flooded with hot water, making the rain evaporate.

@thephantomeagle2 10 ай бұрын

Probably the same as the string of old CSX units that were earlier in the video at Elkhart. Likely retired units that are being moved to other lines. Look at the Nashville commuter line. They use retired Amtrak power. the same is true of many railroads. When companies like CSX replace units they sell them to other powers. CN for example gets many old UP units. I've lost count of the times I've seen Canadian National trains coming through my town with obvious old UP units..
