Saw so many great shows there. It was the Abyss of Asbestos. The best pit ever cause once you were in it and the beer was on the floor...you were'nt leaving unless you beat everyone else down under the band logos painted on the wall.

Yay! Thank you for filming this! Planning to visit soon.

Hope all is okay with you!

I've explored here, too. The place is fenced off now.

A+ good to know history of the store!

You can tell shoestring is still with us in spirit, you said first time u ever filmed one of these maintenance vehicle, that would of been something shoestring would of definitely filmed, and all of those horns just sounded like a tribute to him man, he was a jokester no doubt and that would of been something he’d of liked. I swear it just felt like he had a hand in that and then u said he was messing around to fool u. Very cool. Rip mark and thanks for your respect brother, subscribed!

Already miss his video, R.I.P. MARK

Learned a lot just watching shoestring he knew where trains were going too!!! Good stuff

Love them

RIP Shoestring. Thanks for allowing me to join you on your adventures. You're a good man. I really wish scumbags like Kent Krueger would stop pissing on your grave. Enjoy heaven shoestring, I hope to join you there

i gave your video a thumbs up but the number is still at 0

Thanks for sharing

Man it's wild out there. Glad you're doing okay.

If it weren't for the Kaelen Mikla band, I wouldn't have found you, and I wouldn't know that two tornadoes have hit Houston. Thanks for the news, Man! I wish have a great day!

Nice! 👍

Rip to him its been some years but I use to watch his videos.

Pretty cool 🆒 from Indiana love 🚆 train 🚂🚃🚃🚂🚃🚃😊

There was a Captain Ds on the southwest side. After it closed it became one of those daiquiri places, then it was a tax loan place, then it was an abandoned building where i assume squatters were hanging about, and eventually it was tore down. My best memories of Long Johns and Captain Ds is when i was living up north. But most definitely the last few years of their operations quality steadily went downhill.

the steamer looks to be a 2-10-2

MKT Missouri, Kansas, & Texas. Also known as Miss Katy.

Shoe string is at peace now yall. Lets celebrate his life guys. He would never want you to be sad bros. Much love. Peace and respect, patience and understanding yall

Extremely interesting thanx for the info

HB & T: Houston Belt & Terminal

The 982 (nee 3651) was built by Baldwin in 1919 for SP. it is a "Santa Fe" type engine.

my brother shoestring rest in peace ❤❤

Thanks for sharing your info on Mark. Best wishes to you !

Looking at the engine and wheel configuration it looks to be an old Mikado with the wheel pattern 2-8-2. Very cool steam engine.

The steam locomotive was in Herman park by the zoo for a long time. The oil tender, it burned oil not coal, was sold to a tourist train in Utah. The collection of cars and locomotives belong to the Gulf Coast Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society and hopefully will be moved soon to the Galveston Railroad Museum.

That's 982, the engine that was on display at Hermann Park for over 60 years. It was briefly moved to a spot near Minute Maid park where a museum was supposed to get built, but that fell through. It's currently in storage for a newly formed group that is going to restore the engine completely and put it into excursion service.

Rest in peace Shoestring

1970 also

Thank you

Mark was much in pain and stress from different things he was excellent at hiding his ailments. He had just had enough and so now it is over. God Rest your soul Mark we who understand the way and the result hold no grudges. Rest well we will miss you.

Great tribute indeed. I was training watching on April 16, 2024 at Point or Rocks, Maryland and Brunswick, Maryland. Thinking of Shoestring. Hoping to maybe see a tag. I agree with comment below, that Wanderlust pulls me in on this type of video. 🚆

Great vid I wish I had a reverser handle, thats really cool!

I thought Reversers were made of metal?

Just discovered your channel. I have subscribed and will share it. I think we all are missing & mourning our friend, Shoestring. He was a true, genuine legend. Legends never die! He'll live on in our hearts and memories forever! Just like we all will miss & love, Shoestring forever. Thank you. Excellent video, sir!

Nice video

Great tribute. I too will think of Shoestring when I hear or see a train. Something inside many of us that can relate to his lifestyle, even if we did not fully live it ourselves. Wanderlust I guess.

Thank you for your tribute to Shoestring. I miss him already it's crazy I never met him wish I had! but his passing has really upset me. What a legend nobody like him a great story teller & travel guide for the US. RIP Mark, thanks for everything. 😢♥️🙏

I enjoyed his videos, he was really down in his later videos

I've never road a train, but going to miss shoestring. Rip friend.

That MOW Crew sent their respect

RIP 🙏 I love watching your videos. You will be missed

MARK NICHOLS AKA "HOBO SHOESTRING" WAS ONE OF A KIND!!!! LIVED HIS LIFE, HIS OWN WAY, HIS VIDEOS ARE VERY INTERESTING, AND ENJOYABLE TO WATCH!!! HE WILL BE MISSED, BY MANY PEOPLE. A SAD ENDING TO HIS LIFES JOURNEY. TRAVEL THE SKYS " HOBO" ENJOY THE JOURNEY!!!!

Do they know what happen to him ??

Never seen your videos before. But I'm an old train rider from the 1987. Shoestring got the wandering spirit in me, wants to go. But job, relationship, living comfortable. It's shameful that we let the comfort of society makes our minds up. From enjoying life to the fullest. Shoestring will always be the King of the rails. R.I.P. you're life was amazing.

Near south yard

Bnsf railroader. Rip shoestring Met him once in Beaumont Texas. I’m in Houston now headed north

Rest in peace.
