Aug 24 He spawned a rival of interest in America’s railroads & a flurry of Amtrak travel, foregoing airlines, us included. Wouldn’t have ever had the courage without him. Ride on, Shoestring Mark, and God bless
So freaking awesome how I just seen a video about him talking about an oil reservoir that would oil the bearings by just rolling. I was thinking how cool that was and I definitely would like to see it, he told how rare it was these days so we’re lucky to of seen it. Thank you shoestring and god bless and rip my friend.
Me and a buddy hopped on a freight train once thinking we could just jump off in the next town hang out for a bit and jump on another home. Boy was we WRONG. That train didnt even slow down enough for us to attempt to jump off, for 5 hrs. About 1030 we gave up and had to call parents to come get us. (Grounded for the rest of the summer) but was totally worth the adventure
I work out of Galesburg.Those auto racks crew change in Fort Madison IA. That empty intermodal is what we call a bare table. Most of the time it’s cars that aren’t being used. Basically rolling storage. 👍🏻
Hey Shoestring I just happen to stumble upon this video, Holy crap! I lived in Galesburg for 20 plus years partied all over that town, it's kinda gone ta hell in hand basket like everything else I moved away from Galesburg back in 2010 couldn't deal with all the BS anymore, living in Peoria,IL. now, boy talk about bringin back memories! Thanks for the video, keep em' comin!
i can remember as a kid they used to haul cars , autos on open train cars. i was told later that people started jumping on the train and stealing radios and stuff off the autos...hence they went to an enclosed rail car to haul autos.
I worked in a feedstore in high school and used to unload boxcars stacked about shoulder high to me and stack 'em in the store. W3'd also get boxcar loads of bagged ground peanut hulls to make steer fattener.
My gosh I could smell that fart through my speaker!😂four Amtrak trains stop daily in Galesburg. A lot of history there! As Shoestring says, you can catch out and go to La Crosse, WI be careful though, there is a Bull that patrols around the La Crosse yard!
That BNSF SD40-2 snoot with the slug cutting cars was a pretty cool find. And then the short nose SD40-2 on the bridge. Some of my favorite road engines. Trains still get to blow the horn at the crossing at the end of our road. I can usually hear one coming before they hit the crossing if it's a nice quiet night. I hear that rumble of the prime mover and then a few seconds later the horn. I don't mind it. But i'll bet the people who live right down there next to the track do. But the track was there long before the houses were so they knew what they were getting into. I laughed my ass off when you caught the Jawtooth fart!
I think the smell coming off those pellets is the oil they coat 'em with so they don't rust as much during transpo. I used to work around titanium smelting plants & they mixed other metals together to make metals even harder than titanium that were black all the way through, weird stuff.

If I found that box car, I'd be eating bean salad and navy bean soup for days! LOL!

Bayside Best Beans are packaged in the small village of Sebewaing, Michigan. An old job of mine! The first ever video I've ever seen of yours, too!
Reminds me of a blues song "Got my red beans cookin"
When I was a kid we would wait for the caboose and the men inside would throw candy out as it went by!😊
Jawtooth must have snuck into that bean boxcar for some munchies.
Taconite pellets a lot of them get shipped on the great lakes freighters.
Awesome!
This car reminds me of old box car sitting in Ann Arbor. Michigan.
I was just in Galesburg less than two weeks ago. Checked out the RR museum and looked at that old boxcar. I’m from GA. Small world.

Burlington northern Santa fe railroad
“BNSF Railway” is the official name of the railroad owned by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation.
Beans for breakfast. Water for lunch. Swell up for supper.
Lol there's ol jawtooth again...wow
Don’t spill the beans, Shoestring!
Great video Shoestring

A boxcar ''full of beans'', yet looking decidedly exhausted....

Just needed a rail car of cornbread to go with the beans. 😁👍
I love those old 50ft boxcars
Lmao...good fart Jaw Tooth
And great sound effects by Shoe 🤣
Good ol Jaw Tooth there in the background
Thanks for the tour,enjoyed see Galesburg up close , tell Gary hello from North Carolina
I thought i just saw jawtooth....i did!! Lol
I grew up beside the Santa Fe tracks in Texas. We always found spilled grain we could gather for feeding animals or baiting dove.
I've jumped many times mainly U.P and you make it look easy fam
Hey, I used to be conductor on LRS many years ago. The bean car was LRS 1055.
Hobo shoestring you are my favorite person in the whole world and jaw tooth
Back in the day that was called a stuffing box. They would stuff it with stuffing which was wads of string, twine, cloths and oil!
My favorite
that fart is better out than in ............. great video shoestring
23:55 well we know who stole the beans
Raw jawtooth farting. DID YOU TAKE SOME BEANS????😂😂😂
Excellent Video. Good to see you with Jawtooth.
LOL Shoestring did you say Minnehopeless? 🤔🤣🤣
I think the iron pellets is what I picked up for slingshot ammo 60 yrs or so ago on the G M & O in West AL. They were everywhere inside the rails.
I picked them up on the GM&O in Alton, Illinois.
Used to see those car carriers in shreveport
Jaw Tooth must have been eating some of those Beans. LoL
Hey shoestring I have a question how do they load and unload cars from the box cars and where do they do it Randy from Monroe Michigan
Good supply of the beans. One bag would last a person a while
the navy beans are from michigan that box was open on the csx line in michigan
That jaw tooth guy is really in his own world
is it possible that htey venting the load
Hahaha!!awesome
Thanks Shoestring for sharing.
the bean car would be an interesting ride
Check that brake beam on that old Box car those were called hanging brake beams I hated putting brake shoes in there they're always cast iron
That's nice seeing all those new cars heading to dealers across our country
Hey, beans, beans
The musical fruit
The more you eat
The more you...😂😂😂😂
Man the amount of money spent on just one side for spray paint, its beyond words !!
Nothing can bring two men together like trains and farts. 😂🤣🚂💨💨
Good job
Hold on to your tickets folks weez goin for a ride good one string and special guest da jaw tooth
The cross bridge looks so small now. we used to sit up under the lip as kids.
where did you buy your cube?
That car is full of beans, lol.
Could that iron ore be going to one of these electric mini mills around here? Cause there is a lot of iron ore that comes outta Minnesota.
My gosh I could smell that fart through my speaker!😂four Amtrak trains stop daily in Galesburg. A lot of history there! As Shoestring says, you can catch out and go to La Crosse, WI be careful though, there is a Bull that patrols around the La Crosse yard!
Watching this early in the morning with earphones on so I wouldn’t wake up my wife and kids, but that plan failed when Jaw Tooth farted.
One of these train companies should hire this guy he probably knows more about operations then some of the employees
ROTFLMAO Farting boxcar good one Shoestring.
Eating Navy Beans = you are definitely gonna fart a lot... for untold hours LMAO
"Ding ding ding ding di- oh I hear one coming!"
All those beans will get ruined. Shameful waste. One of my favorite fart makers. Pintos are numero uno! Lol. Be safe, thanks for the video
Awesome. Have a great night.
White New Balance shoes paired with white socks! all thats missing is a belt mounted phone holster.
That BNSF SD40-2 snoot with the slug cutting cars was a pretty cool find. And then the short nose SD40-2 on the bridge. Some of my favorite road engines.

But the track was there long before the houses were so they knew what they were getting into. I laughed my ass off when you caught the Jawtooth fart!
9:43? What kind of locos are those?
DPU ALRIGHT!!!!!
What was the app you use to find the rail?
That's jawbone's
Perhaps its called Galesberg because its so "windy" there ??
I watch Jawtooth too...
Good to see both of you guys!
Cool train displays!
✌️ 😎
Man BNSF 1725 has seen alot of use
They run empty IM trains from Galesburg to Chicago on the Mendota Sub line. See them often in Sandwich IL
Rollin that brake rod was a quick way to die for sure!
Navy beans! Mmm all you need is a chunk of ham and onions and there's dinner.
That’s for the poorsI prefer the filet with lobster, but o work hard for my money.
1:00 😂😂😂😂
Plenty of fiber!!! Wow cant believe they did not secure their cargo better.
He runs to the track like me and my brother do
I think the smell coming off those pellets is the oil they coat 'em with so they don't rust as much during transpo. I used to work around titanium smelting plants & they mixed other metals together to make metals even harder than titanium that were black all the way through, weird stuff.
My x wife is from Galesburg. I visited 1 time and sworn never to return....
Enjoying your videos King Shoestring of the rails !
Would have been nice to see a couple bags of those beans spilled in with the Iron pellet's...
