- Plethora of railroad related information in this video.
Information parts start around seven minutes into the video. So sorry for the blustery wind sounds and being bouncy.
Thanks for encouraging me to get out!
Love, Shoestring ~~

More than just a "pretty face" a genuine educator. Thanks Shoestring
Hey there Shoestring. The yard there where you’re at is called “Carnegie”. Looking east toward Bristol, the track furthest off to your left is actually CSX trackage, leased by ETRY. We called this the Carnegie spur, and there was a time we had a LOT of customers there, but the times have changed. The “Carnegie Spur” is the remnant of the old CC&C Railroad that was 90 percent complete complete between Johnson City and Dante and then went bust in 1893. The grade for that line can still be seen today if you know where to look.
It was always a treat for me to catch the Johnson City extra Saturday yard job as engineer and we’d go work Johnson City Chemical Co. on the Carnegie Spur.
I watched it all the way to the end. It was very relaxing for me.
very much
I watched it all the way and heard what ya said😁

Hell YEAH These Video's are Awesome They are Really Good when You Are talking about things that Deal with the Railroads or that Deal with You or something about your Life Thank You for your Time and Awesome Video's
Thanks
Been following you, shoestring. You met my son Alex in Illinois. You’re so fascinating and educational. Stay safe, be strong 💪🏼!
Like all the rail equipment info, can’t imagine the stories you could tell. I watched to the end.
Watched it tell the end, loved it.
Thank you for the escape from reality.
I watched it all the way through and enjoyed every minute of it. Keep up the good work!
Shoesring like your videos . i live in the deep woods of northeast texas on the redriver on the oklahoma border im a retired force recon marine an outdoorsman i like watching your videos an sipping a glass on moonshine . you keep your head on a swivel an be careful out there brother . i like your videos long or short . good to see old school folks are still around
Thank you for the cool railroad information.
I appreciate your video. Also, I thank God that you are doing better since the accident!
Be safe, friend!
Shoestring don't ever think that. Many of us just sit and hang on your every word. Why? Because we can't do what you are able to do and live the life through you. Your knowledge of rail roading and what happens and how is amazing.
Can we get this man to an eye doctor to get him some glasses?
Be careful out there during the pandemic shoestring, don't wanna see you get sick or hurt again
I loved every second of it, I'm actually looking forward to seeing even longer videos, I'm from Romania and I just love American railroading and as I cannot go there and see for myself I'm experiencing it through your camera, please keep on posting and thank you for doing this!
Be safe!
Hello to people of Romania. Beauty and history is appreciated. Keep your voices heard please. Peace.
Watch them all
Excellent vid! You always have something to say that I want to hear! I just wish it was me out there! :)
me too, one day soon
Than why don’t you? Nobody stopping you but you
Watched the whole video! I even checked Google Earth to see where you are/were. Saw the little wooden bridge, too!
I’ve always liked trains...put together some model railroads...gone trackside to shoot photos..., but you show a whole different perspective.
I seen it till the end! And I dig all your videos! Keep it comin my friend!
We Don’t find Anything about your Videos as Boring. We look at it as Knowledge. Keep it Up. 👍
I have not been watching long but enjoy everyone I see especially all of the narrations live it up high doing what a lot of us would like to do
Get a prescription for some glasses to wear all the time.
You owe it to yourself to see all the beauty in this world.
Its the best decision I ever made .
You will love being able to see everything clearly.
Neurological and can't be fixed with glasses....
Getting worse and I'm scared I'll be completely blind within a year. Be I have to get out and ride VERY soon but I'll still find a way to ride even blind
Eat some carrots shoestring that's why bunnys see so good lol
I’m sure it’s difficult for you not riding but the thing that’s on my mind is just a few years ago Stobe the hobo was lost to us being unable to get clear of a narrow section of rail. He was in much better physical shape both vision and physically he hadn’t been injured in unforeseen circumstances. I keep thinking of those young kids who look up to you and I wonder what effect it would have for them to lose you. Since an engine will travel a long way in five seconds I wonder if you could get clear in time. You have so much knowledge of how trains operate it would be tragic to lose your knowledge of how to choose a train going to a future destination. Something you touched on but I’m still not clear on is how to use a car ID to learn it’s destination. You’ve done it safely for so long that I’d hate to have something happen like so many others before you. I believe you shouldn’t sacrifice a valuable resource lightly. Please be safe. I wonder if you’ve ever considered what it would take to ride safely and even legally. One of my thoughts is having cabooses dispersed along railways that were converted to small group carriers. My thought is if you could hit a call box they could be added on if someone was traveling a route through to a destination. To me the danger mostly lies in boarding a moving train or falling off of precarious cars. I would love to have the ability to enjoy the experience without placing myself or others at risk. Back in the prime of passenger travel there was little risk but extreme enjoyment of the journey. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
@@TheHoboShoestring Make sure none of it has to do with cataracts Shoestring.
kevin stonerock they will never allow that because of the liability
I could watch you talking about these things for hours
Be safe & keep on truckin', brother...
And it was The Naked Gun. Watched it the other day. Good ol' Frank Dreben...
Thx for dropping some knowledge on us. I have horrible eyesight myself, can’t really do anything but sleep without glasses.
4:06 You are wrong Shoestring! You could make videos of you nowhere near a track and I’m still gonna watch. I love your stories and extensive knowledge of the railroad and country. You and I were just talking about Taylor Texas on here the other day. Today I find out you live in Johnson City Tennessee. That’s where my wife was born and her family is from! Stay safe out there my guy! -Brighty Bulger
We love any insight into the world of Mark Shoestring Nichols😁 Love it brother!
As long as your recording imma watching period
Me too!
Not boring at all Shoe. It’s all knowledge your passing on. And very interesting.
Long or short videos it doesn't matter, we are just glad you're doing better and getting back out there 👍👍
Watching all your videos to the end. Don't want to miss anything. From the sound of walking the tracks to your knowledge the scenery I enjoy all of it thank you
Yeah i like hearing you talk about the rails. Its not boring at all. Its better than all the other stuff out there. Thanks for sharing. Dont edit anything out man we love it thank you
Nice to see you getting out, railyard was interesting for us UK viewers.
Bless you fella, stay safe.
Not boring at all man!! Fascinating and educational!! Thank you!!
I love the long videos because you share knowledge of day to day life vs. just skipping to the "high" points.
WATCHED THE WHOLE THING. AM 90and my husband and father in law were railroader.
I like the audio only entries for evening listens while the woman watches her lifetime movies of abusive men burying their wives in the desert.
🤣
Oh, yes! I used to call it "the man-hater channel" back when we had cable tv. It was highly discouraged in my household. lol
@@derekdowns6275 I'm chuckling..... feel the same way.... all the movies are the same: abused woman finally gets her revenge
I could watch these videos for hours. Your narration is fascinating, never boring.
Never to long, or boring. I can listen to you talk for hours.
Hi Shoestring. I really enjoy your videos. They are not to long. Thank you for sharing your time and information with us. Your Videos have a lot of information. Please keep them coming.
Watched it all the way through. The time you spent between was interesting because you provided your knowledge of the surroundings. etc. [thumbs up] Stay safe [!!!] and watch your health the best you can.
If the railroad gave you a job there would that take all the fun out of it ?
I'd volunteer!
Would take the fun part out..... lol
Learning new stuff is never boring, from begining to end, it's all an education !. Like your videos... 30 minutes is just about right.
My new fav UA-camr. Brilliant content. Don't ever worry about being boring. Your honesty and knowledge - vast and interesting. Most people don't ever get a chance to get to see the world from your perspective so thank you. Keep uploading your videos.
Totally NOT boring. Reminds me of my childhood when I was always messing around RR tracks. Good memories. Thanks!
You got it Straight,your videos are just great they way you've been making them is working fine.
Dont overthink it shoestring.
Your views bear evidence of the interest we all have about your world.
Thanks again sir,Thank You for serving.
And thank you for serving still.
The longer the videos are great when I watch your videos I get a great feeling of relaxation, your stories greate 👍
Shoestring
The longer the video the better. I think alot of us enjoy just listening to you talk and the insights we learn from listening.
Keep on with the vids !!
Some dark territory have signals at sidings. BNSF Madill subdivision is set up that way. And you’ll probably encounter them at interlockings along the way as well.
Still have to the end. Always interesting.
I watched till the end, shoestring, & learned much about the rails & cars...Not boring at all, 7 enjoyed it all.. Am going to be watching for your later posts.. Well done, sir...Thanx...
Thoroughly enjoy your videos. This one is entertaining the whole way. Love the walkabout with your narration. Keep em coming...
I enjoy your walks along the right of way. I don't live in the U.S, so its always good to see the example of yards, loads, scrap, etc, color of the ballast, old structures.
Be yourself. Do what you would normally do. Pretend we are not there. I like the long videos. Keep doing it. Your awesome. Hi from Rockford Illinois
Yep I go 4 walks like that to on nice days. Hope you are doing good. Almost 🦃 day have a good holiday.😷 in public places mandatory. Petty coat junction
Shoestring I love the long videos! You should definitely start making more longer videos, they are always so educational and I never regret watching them, stay safe out there brother!
I never get bored with your videos ,I look forward to watching . I believe I could watch all day lol. Stay safe Shoestring.
I like the long videos. You are very knowledgeable and I learn something from each video you post. Cheers, Shoestring!
I live about 15 miles from where you made this video. I'd say that I was passing over those tracks about the same time you were making this video.
If you need a ride to Bristol when you get ready to hit the tracks,, let me know. you
Yea watched all the way to end, good video
Hey buddy. Your videos are always enjoyable.
What ever you want to post we will watch.
And if there is a boring part we could fast forward a time or two.
Watch it all very interesting to me. If I can't sleep I watch your videos. They're not boring.
Shoe string, I enjoy your videos, all of them I wash them over and over. Just please be careful out there we don't want to see you get hurt or lose you or you go to jail I never tired of your videos and they're never boring keep them coming buddy!
Shoestring I watched the video all the way to the end. I didn't get bored, you are not boring. You sir are full of knowledge.
We just love it when you make videos it don’t matter what you do buddy just keep them coming your life is very interesting no matter what you do thanks again we love your videos
Pointing out details was great. Very descriptive. You are a very knowledgeable and smart guy!
damn brother ,there aint no BOs left like you around.Your tough as a railroad spike!
You are absolutely one amazing person !! Your depth of knowledge is awesome !!
Not boring at all! Your rambling is more interesting than most people's considered conversation.
ASMR is a type of sound therapy, and I believe that is what your video's are providing for a nation of lost souls..? As a conductor, I've always told people that the sound of ballast 'neath my boots, is a symphony that provides the soundtrack to my life...
Yep that's how we like em!
I watched to the end ! One thing I like about longer video Shoestring is it’s like an escape from my world into yours! As long as a video is interesting, I’m all in brother! Thanks for posting your ventures!
I only found you recently, but I love this. Keep doing it man, I appreciate the information!
You Sir, are never boring please keep them coming . Stay safe . Peace , Be free .
Not boring at all. You are so interesting to listen too. I'm a big rail fan and your teaching me a lot! Hope your well.
I do not approve of you endangering your life, but I appreciate that you never swear or use foul langage. You are a gentleman
Love long videos. Don’t fuss about editing. Just fascinated with the stuff you post, always and glad you’re upright! And don’t worry about them being long. Your fans are steadfast.

Anyone notice the switch frog at 10:13 & 16:07 are spring loaded to close the flange way for the divergent line?
