- My birthday isn't until July 12 but Larry got my present early. He got me a G scale grainer car and I show it at the end of this video.
RIP Shoestring, thanks for everything.
Godspeed Mr. Nichols, Thank you for all you gave, and have given.. You will be missed..✌
We are going to miss you Mark. RIP
You don't need to be riding all the time Shoestring. I'm guessing lots of us enjoy just seeing the scenes of you wandering about out in the woods and would enjoy a tour of that old abandoned factory (or whatever it is) that you showed the smokestack of. Stuff like that. You have an audience. People even interested in your little plants you've put in here and there. I sure do. Just wander about all over and shoot whatever you bump into. Speaking for myself, I'll enjoy it. Because I enjoy YOU.
Agreed!
I agree
Me too
Some people can't sit still, i speak from experience
agreed
Can’t quit watching this dude videos and routines catching trains. Always in element and walks a ton. RIP buddy!! You’ve made some really good videos that I found 4 days ago
I miss your knowledge, Mark! THANK YOU for 5 years of my life watching and learning about the rail system and the art of living free. I now work for a company that takes rail crews to their destinations or arrivals. I've seen so many switch yards,hump yards and sidings out in the middle of nowhere. Thank you, sir for your knowledge and stories ❤
That metal is swarf, the smell is oil, and or mistic coolant, probably the latter. As soon as I saw it, my life returned to the early 80's when I was an Aircraft Component Engineer. The smell is still fixated in my brain.
👍😎👍🇬🇧MDS
I have this relationship with the smell of creosote , ammonia ( skunk ) and oil/ gear oil
@@rodneydaub3812 Feel you brother.
👍😎👍
Ford assembly line summer jobs edison nj late 70s.. I can tell an assembly plant miles away from the smell...drove wife nuts.. i hate that smell...
@@petero2693 It's amazing how are brains interact with the smell and memory senses.
👍😎👍MDS
You never forget it
OMG!!! Those trucks on that caboose are so outlawed...........
They're just not used much because they require maintenance so much. Not really outlawed. You still see them on cars that are used just locally because not many miles are put on them
Good ol’ Shoestring, leaving camp better than how he found it! Love the spouts and happy you’re feeling better! Keep the updates coming!
He left the world better than he found it.
🕯
Caboose! Another American legend, on the extinct endangered list. Sure do miss them. 🛤️❣️
Such a wonderful video, of such a wonderful string, played his life out to the fullest ❤ Happy trails my friend..
A working caboose. WOW! That was interesting about how it gets power. Thanks, as usual, for your knowledge.
You’re fantastic. Growing up my father worked for Conrail then went to Amtrak. Some of my first memories were riding in the engine. Even had the privilege of driving it at the age of 12. I lost him in 2015. Thank you for bringing my railroad memories back. God bless and stay healthy
If we know our Lord and Creator we are never 'lost'. Going to be a heck of a reunion some day.
Stand on scriptures promises. Revelations 21:4, 1 Corinthians 15:26, 2 Corinthians 5:1, etc.
I miss the days of Conrail. Very sorry for your loss.
@@bobpaulino4714 praise Jesus grace Christ, oh yeahhhhh amen brother, thanks BigAl California.
We love ya down here, Brother; gonna be well missed, Buddy
when I was a youngster hopping trains the car carriers were open, you could climb in a brand new car and start it up, the keys were in them. run the heater or the ac, when it ran out of the little gas in them, get in another one 🤣
Now your talking
🤨 Do they still do this? If so might hav to try it just ain’t a fan of heat…
@@snowydemo6629 No, somewhere in the late 70's the theft and damages became way too costly and we started becoming America today.
Your train videos are made much better by the interesting commentary 🙂
I Agree
Absolutely, I am able to binge-watch and still do other things; never have I appreciated having 3 monitors as much as I do now!
As a young man I had dreams of riding the rail like that, but too chicken. (rode motorcycles instead) Now I'm an old man and my health would NOT allow it!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH US, MAN!
I love how you just walk around like you own the place lol may the force be with you sir, I really enjoy ya!
I loved the brief caboose tour. Nice to see that NS crew threw in an old recliner on the one end and a fan installed on the upper shelf on the other side. Anyone else notice the cooler and water case one of the crew left in the caboose? I haven't seen an apartment with a basement/upstairs combo like you have, that's cool. Another awesome vid here, Shoestring.
Dang .... That was one LONG TRAIN...always learn something from your comments . Thanks man !! 🙏😊
Yeah huge sure was.
R.I.P. Shoestring 🕯

Garden blooming. The smell on the turnings is the lube they use.
Cutting oil
@@gavanhillebold3131 oh how I love the smell of cutting oil
That BUM SMELLS TOO !!!!!!
P U 2 U !!!!!!!!!!
Cool tool
What a beautiful apartment you have. I like how clean and neatly you have decorated it. I think if you just keep displaying railroad memorabilia and keep furniture to a minimum it will be like a personal museum . Love your videos, hope your health stays with you.
Shoestring the Gardener!!
Glad your feeling better shoe!!🙂
it;s been awhile Shoestring.......try Not to rush things,go slowly. Take care of YOU.....LATER
I was watching a shoestring video when i got this notification 😂
R.I.P.
So glad you are feeling better. Do yourself a big favor and all you fans………..take it easy for a while, give your body time to heal. You provide a lot of happiness to your fans! Looking forward to the next video my friend.
Thanks Larry and David! Awesome additions for the collection! Hey Shoestring that car you called a odd ball carries switches! There strapped on the car! Glad the flowers are growing! Great video! Apartment looks good. Glad your feeling better! Any video you give us is a great video Shoestring!!
Your videos are what I call good t.v.
Thank you Mark.
Thank you
That was a really interesting episode Shoestring, always good to learn something new . Always enjoy watching your episodes, thanks my friend 👍👌
Thanks for everything you do! Blessings from colorado
Those cabooses bring back good o memories. You don't see many of them on the rails anymore like you use to back in the day before FREDs, defect detectors, & dragging defect detectors.
Back when Missouri Pacific was still Missouri Pacific and before they put oil in the caboose[crummy] my brother and I ,each November, would shovel 16 tons of coal onto the ground beside the crummy track. Back in the day they heated the caboose with coal. We made $30.00 each for the job. That was good money then.
I absolutely love hearing all the RR knowledge you give us in your videos. I especially love the historical stuff, its so fascinating. I wanted to be a hobo after i graduated, but before that i had a kid. Discovering you now tells me I'm not too old to start yet and probably have a decent amount of years i could ride before i couldn't handle it anymore
Yea, you had to get a job to support your family. instead of being a bum. hats off to him, he is making videos to support his life style.
But he is still a bum, that never had a trade are worked liked everybody else. but he is making a living now thanks to ytube, have to admire him he capitalized on how to make money.
I didn’t know they had generators hooked up to the wheels on cabooses! That’s pretty cool! I see as there was more automation they didn’t need as many workers and got rid of them.
Shoestring keeps talking about empty yards. That’s the state of the American economy. I’m a truck driver and I will never forget 3 years ago driving by Port Elizabeth and seeing containers stacked on top of each other as far as the eye can see. I’ve been OTR for 20 years and that was the first time I ever saw the ports packed like that. That is the difference between today’s American economy and the economy of 2 or 3 short years ago. I wonder what changed?
Good to see you out and about!!
I owe most of my train hopping knowledge to Hobo Shoestring, and Stobe the Hobo. I'm so glad Shoestring is still out here showing us how it's done.
God bless you shoestring take care of yourself blessings love your videos
Very happy to hear you're feeling better. Prayers &safe travels goin out to you Shoe 💖💖💖🚂🚂🚂
Hey shoestring great video . Under the weather my self kidney stones and urinary infection much better my self haven’t been watching much hope you get feeling better. As stephen said you don’t have to be on the road all the time ,you need to take care of your self we want to keep you around we enjoy watching your videos and just hearing from you . Take care buddy.
Thanks
Glad to know you are doing better and taking it easy. You have a really nice place now, and with time you will add furnishings. Stay well!
I just love your teaching films. The sweet smell is the cutting oil used to keep the cutting heads cool in the machines.
This is one I must have missed. I like when you show us the different things in and around the train yards.
Hi Hobo Shoestring! I grew up in Bristol, VA and the smokestack at minute 15:00 is the old Columbia Paper Mill, later became Tenneva Foods....at minute 16:45 is the old steam locomotive roundhouse, the turntable was filled in sometime in the very early 60's.....
One of my favorite channels.
I agree with Stephen Cook.... Loved Larry's gift of a hopper and a box car with you sitting on the almost cadillac.
Wow you moved. Big place, nice!
LARRY WAS TAKEN A LEAK !!!
Haha.
The summer I turned 18, I lived right next to the depot in the tiny town where I called home. My sister (she was 15) and I spent that summer hitching rides. We made friends with the crew on the midnight freight train that came through every night. We rode in the locomotive the first two times, but it was cramped. I literally sat on the lap of one of the guys. Later, we rode in the caboose. It had bunk beds and a breakfast nook of sorts. No cupola. That was 1980 and it was BN back then.
Great to see and hear you again Mark, especially out on the track's on a summer's day, stay safe and well for the next trip, 👍👍👍👍.
I used to love riding in the old cabbooses
THIS IS THE OLD NEW YORK ONTARIO and WESTERN RAILWAY !!!! LONG GONE !!!!
0813 here at Tamoshanter Tasmania. Good Tassie morning to you. Love the guerrilla gardening.
at 15:00 that was the Columbia Paper Mill built in 1900 then later it was Twin-Cities Iron and Metal. It is being redeveloped into condominiums by Stramco. 950 Fairview St.
I'm amazed at the length of american freight trains, they seem endless!
It's not unusual for them to be over 10,000ft sometimes. Now days with PSR here in the US they have laid off people and that's another reason the trains are long also because they're adding trains together.
When I was a young whippersnapper I loved watching the trains going by and I loved looking at the caboose'es on the end of the trains.
Me too! Quite often, there was someone waving back to us and we'd be so excited ☺️
Not Bad!..... I'd have to say "Best in Class" Hobo apartment! .... Good to have a spot to hang your hat. Enjoyed the vid, cheers fr Canada
Best videos on utube right here with shoestring🛤🚂🚃🚃🚃
Glad to see you feeling better, definitely my favorite channel. Thanks shoe string and May God bless you always !!!
Good to see you shoestring! Just take it slow an eat well stay hydrated much love!!!
This old tug boat sàilor is like you, I've seen miles of ocean,, you've seen a few miles of tràçk!! It's time to slow our old bodies down. Mày God ànd Jesus be with you!👍👍🎉
Damn these trains was his life and you can see that with him catching every train.
Coolbeans Brother!!
Thanks for the update and tour of the area.
Love your train collection...🚂...
Cool beans, eh? What are you, about 9 years old?
Those extra large tall gondolas new to me ...lived by railway 20 years and never seen those
Four generations of my father's family worked for the Canadian National Railway. The tracks were passing behind the family home, and I remember running to the back fence with my brother and cousins and counting the cars. That how I learned to count. Even now, I sometimes count cars when I see a train.
Glad to see you out and about.
I didn’t realize caboose were still around. It’s been years since I’ve seen them. Thanks, Shoestring.
They were basically replaced by the f r e d
You've done a nice job decorating. Whatever is pleasing to you. Love te posters. HUGE!
I'm 51 years old and lived by Railroad tracks my whole life. Playing in cabooses and placing pennies on the tracks was a daily occurrence. I absolutely loved this video as the memories started flowing through my head. Great work and stay Safe out there! P.s. I have plants like those! 😉 Oh, and how the Hell did they get that recliner in there?? lol
P
Wow your friend Larry sure hooked you up with a fine gift. Their Greiner is fantastic and that track I've never seen anything like it
Love your videos!! I always learn a few things in each one I watch... I grew up in Kingsport, so I'm familiar with some of the surroundings... 😁
This is what I found on that site with the tower/smokestack. I found an article at the EPA that listed it as "Twin Cities Iron and Metal Site".
I love your videos - I find them very calming & focusing! 😁💖👍
His camps are set up so perfect.
Sounding good and lively. Good stuff greeting from brazil.
Shroom says: Glad to see you outside again. 😊😊😉😊😉😊😉😊
I love the rumble in the ground when them locos slowly drive past. Takes me back to staying at my grandmother's house which was 3m from the track. Even the piano would start making a noise. Great video. Thanks and stay safe.
In joy watching this one over and over again thanks shoustring
Love. Your apt. Videos are. Very good. Sir. Can't stop watching them.
The smell on the metal is cutting oil it smells sweet
So happy to see you out and about and to hear that you are feeling better. I enjoyed seeing the few sprouts that came up. I especially enjoyed the lesson in the different types of grainers. You've talked about that before but it's really easy to be able to see the difference when you are trackside. Your apartment is coming together very well. It's looking very nice. Continue to rest up and take care of yourself. It appears that it is doing you good. A big shout-out to Larry for the awesome birthday present. That's one nice piece.
Shoestring everytime I see your videos I learn alot. But the challenge now will to remember what I heard and learned from your videos. And to use this information when decided to ride again. Thanks for the knowledge how and to look out for when riding.
Thanks for the video Shoestring. So glad you’re feeling better. You’ve got a nice apartment. Looking good with all your decorations. Take care and have a good one 👍👍👍❤️🙏🏻
We're here to watch YOU and your fascinating life, Shoestring. Storytelling makes great content and you're full of them. Exploring your area is also fascinating to watch. You don't always need to travel for us. Just do it for YOU! That's all we can ask for. 💜💜💜
I can remember when I was a kid my Grand Father raised a garden along the R.R. right of way for several years..
Those trains headed north out of there pass by my house a couple of hours later. I find your channel very interesting Shoestring. I’ve always loved trains. My grandpa used to hop freight trains out of WV headed towards Roanoke!
Thanks for another great video Shoestring! I hope you continue to feel better, it's so exciting to get the notice when you post another video. Stay well and thanks again. 👍🚂🚃🚃🚃
Thanks for sharing all the technical knowledge about trains I'm a computer engineer so naturally I love listening to that kind of stuff
They had some old cabooses in peru in. On an old siding that never got moved, near the dormitory restaurant, where the r.r. workers would eat and get a room for the night, i only lived 5 or 6 blocks from there, i met quite a few hobos who camped in the woods along the tracks,waiting for their next ride
Those lathe tailings smell like machining oil. Light SWEET crude. 😉👍
Great video! What a nice gift from Larry. The apartment's looking good!
great video shoestring really enjoyed the description of the cars on that train look forward to your next ride on the train when you feel better thanks
That smell from those metal lathe shavings ,is from the suds a milky white cooling oil that’s sprayed onto the metal so that it’s easier to cut into! Another great video shoestring!
Thanks bro!
You're very welcome my friend.. Good day today for you.. 👍
That sweet smell on the metal shavings is the coolant used.
So glad I found your channel, I grew up in Bristol all over those tracks.. great memories!! I'm ready to go on a trip now!! Thank you
Great fun listening to you Shoestring! Have learned much I never would have known. Thanks!
Loved seeing the caboose thank you
I remember being so angry when you were on day 4 with no surgeon. So glad you pulled through.
Keeping you in prayer 🙏
