Wheeling and Lake Erie SD40-2 #6991 shoves a cut of loaded stone cars up the B&O to Osborn Materials before dropping the empties just north of West Liberty Street. He then rolled down the connector track where he picked up his track orders to head west out of town with a cut of grainers. I caught him again at the Stone and Beat Rd crossing on his way to Spencer Ohio.
Reminiscing about my friendship with Hobo Shoestring.

Caught this guy returning from Osborn Materials this morning while on my walk. I always enjoy catching the local navigating the tight curve & steep grade on the B&O connector behind Root Candle.

I sure was missing Shoestring today. Everyone seems to enjoy my memories of him. It was a beautiful Saturday night & I felt like sharing with everyone some nice memories of him. He was a special person & I'm proud he considered me a friend. I'm glad I can do a little part & help keep his memory & spirit alive! Enjoy
Patiently waiting for a Northbound CP intermodel with DPU, Wellington Ohio 6-8-24

It's probably the longest I've ever had to wait for a train in Wellington. It allowed me to practice patience & I got to observe a wild fox playing in the tall grass near the tracks! It was just an absolute beautiful morning to be out & about! Finally, I got to catch a northbound Canadian Pacific intermodel with a DPU after about 2 hours of waiting!

Hey Matt. Kool
@JeffQ-vr4cn thank you for watching my friend!
Ya. Matt. Go vance
GO VANCE!
👍
Nice videoing 😊 👍👍👍 it's a loud high frequency horn blowing so and so 😂
Great horn on #6350!
Nice find Matt , cool to see it pick up speed and book down the tracks have a good one my friendly friend
Cool video thanks for sharing ✌️
nice catch
Hi Matt, nice catch. Decent length frieght train for a single locomotive. Thanks.
@TCRailRoad Thanks! Yeah I thought the same thing, usually they have em paired up for one that long. Must have been all empties?
By the looks of it the springs aren't compressed on the cars. So a single locomotive would manage with a skilful engineer at the controls.
Great vidro Matt, slowly getting her speed up before she starts bookin through the lovely very green countryside. Love W& LE. ❤😊👍
Cool video Matt
@@rackum44 Thank you!
Love the spearmint loco. Like this railroad a lot the trains really fly through the countryside. ❤🥰👍
Think I saw a couple good rides Matt.
@@banditjones3632 Definitely! Lol
good eye
Caught 'er twice in one video. I love the clarity, too. I see the colors so good, the trees so green. I know it is hot but it sure is pretty out there.
@@maverickmac1797 Was definitely a warm one today! Crew had the doors on the locomotive propped open as they pulled out of town!
Idk if you heard. That crossing got some LED lights and i wouldn't doubt there gonna do the bell next
Good narrative, thanks for giving us the scoop on these businesses!
Thanks RR! I think it's neat seeing the end customer....I'll make a few more videos like this around Medina in the future.
Nice Video
Thank you!
Hey what's up matt
Any plans for the Hobo convention in Britt Iowa . August 8-11 2024
I wish I could make it! Unfortunately I'm working
@@rpdobbler hopefully they do a little memorial service for him and his tremendous train travel adventures.

Very interesting indeed. Perfect timing on that conveyor belt., too. You mentioned it and rocks started dropping.
Lucky timing! Lol
What all health problems did Shoestring have? I only know that he had Covid a couple times, but otherwise thought he was healthy.
I'm not sure he'd want his personal health issues out there, but if you have watched his channel over the years, he was fairly open about his medical conditions.
@@rpdobbler yes, I understand. Sure do miss him.
Hi Matt, Thanks for showing what happens when the customer gets there products. Using a Caterpillar to move the cars is usual I would have thought.
Kind of neat watching how customers work with the cars. Years ago I worked at a Frito Lays in CT. They used to get potatoes by rail. Using a crane they lifted the cars up and potatoes were fed into a hopper inside the plant where they were mechanically peeled and sent down the line. Thank you for a very interesting video.
Matt that was AWESOME, who would have thunk? Thanks for sharing, keep em coming.
👍
Thanks Matt, really neat yard customer! A Payloader go figure, Kool my friend, be well
Beauty day Matt, thanks!
It definitely was! 75 & beautiful clouds!
Hi Matt, thanks for this vudro & yes i found it very interesting cool to see what happens when the train cars get to their customers & how they are emptied & filled COOL! 😊👍
Thank you for watching! Yep, I love this nerdy stuff!
Never seen one like this.cool.thanks for the video Matt.🙏♥️🐕
Pretty unique! Cheers!

It's definitely a fun spot! Cheers my friend!
Hey Matt That was awesome. Been watching for your latest. That paint scheme is the same as the engine of the ColoradoKansasNebraska that comes down from Imperial and works the yard in McCook where I live. And yes I think about and miss Shoestring all the time. Thank you for sharing.

@@jonwatt678 He is riding them GOLDEN RAILS .Jon I know we all miss him.take care
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking about him. Watching those grainers at the end, I'm always looking for one his Cadillacs. Kinda always expecting to see him poking his head out or waving. Miss that guy.
Yep, I miss him every single day! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch & comment!
Been watchin him on and off for a few years. Dang Ill miss him...for now
