Godspeed Mr. Nichols, Thank you for all you gave, And have given.. R.I.P. Shoestring, ✌
Thanks for entertaining this railroader once again!!! I was cracking up when you hollered "Ricola!!" in the viaduct.😂😂😂😂😂
I’d like to do that one day. Everytime the train goes by, I think there goes Shoestring
There he is! Great to see you back out Shoestring!
Hey Shoestring, I discovered your channel few days back and have been binge watching your videos ever since. I'm a loner myself and I really enjoy the sense of solitary freedom I get from your videos. Stay safe out there.
Cheers from Europe
Your knowledge of geography & where tracks lead to is really on point, I enjoy learning new things & seeing another perspective when watching your videos. Great ride & video, really enjoyed this one.
Yep! Reminds me of the song ,,,, I've been everywhere man....Johnny Cash.... He has some knowledge now ....... Did you ever hear what happened to his hand ?????
@@99959bill misjudged his distance when jumping off a train and his hand landed on the rail. A couple of his fingers got ran over....

Gotta watch out for the 10 foot Woodboogers out there in East Tennessee my brother. So damn amazing to see you out again. I always have to listen to my Dad tell me he's too old to get out and do anything anymore. So, I pulled up your videos and told him "If Shoestring can get over coronavirus then go ride a freight train, you can come camping with me" so thanks for motivating my Pops. 🤣🤣👌
Much love from Memphis.
Ps: glad you caught out on that double stacker instead of waiting. Ride on Cowboy. Much respect
It's nearly 3am here in the UK, I watched this from start to finish. Just such an interesting watch and actually really atmospheric
Love it! Can't understand why anyone would put a thumbs down. Keep living the dream sir and please keep letting us live it through you.
Most likely accidental, at least that’s what I tell myself.
It is the Bulls who can't catch hobos.
Thumbs down? Most likely Ernest Borgnine......
Old number 7 don't ride the rails kid
I used to write the ship loading software for those containers at a port in CA. They have different lashing systems and twist locks on the corners. Every container and stack has various parameters such as size, strength code, load weight. Each container and the entire stack has to be calculated using algebra or else the entire ship load can go into the ocean or the ship itself can break in half if misloaded. The ship + stack undergo various twisting forces while in motion at sea.
I have several friends that are long shoreman and Lashing what it's called is the least diserable job as a longee
@@marcmcdonald2888 My father was a longshoreman, and I remember him talking about the dangers of lashing and why he did not take those jobs if he could help it...
I doubt anyone has more experience hands on in America. God bless
We missed you string. Welcome back brother. I was starting to have symptoms of Shoestring Withdrawal. Now I feel normal. 👍

Did a bit of research......Sevier Yard at Knoxville was opened in 1925 by the Southern Ry, and by 1951 when the hump was added it was 2 miles long and one-half mile wide. At the time the yard consisted of 80 miles of track , 420 switches, and over a quarter of a million crossties. It closed as a major switching yard in April of 2016, and today hosts primarily locals, serves as a crew change spot, and is used for car storage. Keep on ride'in , Shoestring !
Back at’er again! Sweet video dude, love em. Keep me coming.
In my part they are called hedge apples the tree is an “ Osage orange” tree. Very hard wood!
Chainsaws dont like them
Also burns very hot.
I am from Kansas city Missouri and we had hedge apples every year bigger than softballs, when I was little I would throw them at my sister 😇..love these vids..!
Good 4 bow making

Just finished this vid and like all of your vids I really enjoyed it. Great video quality on the new phone.
It's amazing how fast your claw has healed in 11 months, i've had a leg wound caused by glass that took longer than that, much longer in fact and multiple hospital stays. It's a blessing my friend....the healing part that is😂

R I.P Mr. Shoestring. Your knowledge of the entire railroad system was vast. Astonishing even.

Good vid Shoestring. I can tell by your breathing that you are still on the mend. Fresh air and steel is good for you.
Believe it or Not… watching the 5-30 second advertisement actually helps out shoestring a lot

😀
That was a pretty cool ride. I like the zoom on your camera. It did really good on those lights along Cement Plant Rd. I looked at that yard on Google Maps and it is huge
Been closed for a couple of years. Only local freight is stored there now
Speaking of cameras and gear yo take along, do you have a video covering that? Cool videos the ones lv seen so far.
Take care shoestring & have a great Thanksgiving
You need to write a book......I really enjoy your videos Shoestring,keep them coming..be safe out there.
I am so proud of how you quit drinking before you where dead amigo. Now you need too eat better. Gary Cecil. Bend, Oregon.
It’s got to be alittle chilly riding under a piggyback this time of year! Enjoyed the video!
Howdy Shoestring, Hobo master traveler guide to so many here.
I just noticed that I am viewing on the same day of your posting this.
So you are back home in your very nicely decorated apartment now.
You have well earned our respect and admiration for your honesty
and spirit as you share your unique lifestyle and earned philosophy.
Thank you for sharing your vast experiences and broad travels here.
It is truly remarkable to see how a simple & humble man like yourself
has far greater virtue and integrity that the so called top of our society.
May you stay well fed and warm as you may choose this coming winter.
You have many friends who enjoy and care about your well being always.
Cheers... from a former FRA signalman maintainer technician on the M.C.
I left Johnson city three years ago but that's where I met you at brother God bless and safe travels

Welcome to Chattanooga Friend! It is an amazing city with tons of history.
Great video Shoestring...... I Love what you do, the descriptions of what you see on and off the lines. The info on the wagons and cars. Can we get a bit more on the enginesand how they control a (pdu ??) half way down a train ???
You always run into the strangest things stay safe sweet video
My brother, sister, cousins and I used to have "kid battles" with fallen 'Horse Apples" at our Grandparents' farm in Missouri.
Man, those "suckers" HURT when they hit!
Here in Indiana those are called hedge Apple's from Osage Orange trees.
Good to see you out again mark. Piece my friend.👋
Great video, thanks. Best wishes from the UK.
Great video work! Great audio quality too. Best regards!
