He was found today 😢 just here watching, paying tribute to life well lived 👋 hope to see you in the sky 🙏 ❤

Yes grabbing my beer and pizza it's shoestring, troy and even jaw tooth showing up it's the dream team. Living free and making memories.

I will definitely miss the man RIP shoestring

That old car looked like a 1956 Cadillac Deville. Pretty neat. It was good to see Jawtooth on there along with you and your buddy! 👍❤️

It’s a 1952 Cadillac Coupe DeVille!! You can tell by the grill.

Yep.

Resin pellets provide the uniform composition needed during the manufacturing process of bottles and other plastic products. Other common applications for resin pellets include a variety of plastic products, such as industrial plastic wraps and plastic bags.

I used to work for Comdial in Charlottesville, Va. We made telephones and equipment. We had hoppers filled with a type of plastic pellets that looked like that used for injection molding of the phones. I think that’s what they might be. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Probably made at Eastman Chemical company. I thought I heard him mention Kingsport TN earlier in the video. If so, that's one of their locations, and my cousin/neighbor is a supervisor there.

Wish I had saw these videos sooner. I live about 45 minutes away from Kingsport TN. My brother also works for the railroad. He's a manager for a large maintaince company and travels all over the country. Would have loved to got to meet Shoestring.

Rest in peace Shoestring

That's a great shot of the train passing by the Cadillac

Noticed that too. Loved that green color & how it stood out even in the dead of night. Can call that eye catching green.

Been going back through the Videos, converting some to MP3 for listening. Such a wealth of information contained in these videos. We're really going to miss you, Shoestring. 😔😪🚂

Gonna miss your videos..May you Rest In Peace..Will miss your videos…

Thanks, Shoestring.. Happy holidays to everyone that reads this.Central California watching

I love the trick to blow air into fire. The most genius things are absolutely simplistic.

Hello Shoe String. If you put a red filter on your flashlight , the red light will be more difficult for others to see from a distance.

Those pellets you found are iron ore pellets that they used to haul in 2 bay open hoppers.

@DonVideoGuy007

7 ай бұрын

Not iron ore pellets - wrong sound when Mark picked them up. Although they have close to the same color, those are styrene resin pellets. They are used in the manufacture of items such as plastic bags, heavy duty plastic wrap material, plastic bottles, injection molded plastic products (such as the body and chassis on model train rolling stock), plastic furniture, etc.

Ah another great adventure and it has the beginning of something fun and exciting. It's great that you have someone to hang out with, share your adventure. Looking forward to part II. Of course we understand that you need to be cautious about letting that information out to early. Be safe and try to keep dry.

BRO REALLY LOVE THE CAMPFIRE AND COOKING VIDS❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍❤️❤️😁😁👍👍👍❤️😀

Shoestring, hope you have a Merry Christmas🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼

Looks like an old mid 50's Cadillac. I'm 72 and my uncle had one when I was young. That thing is GORGEOUS !!

Hell yes a video. Can't wait to watch after work. Happy Thanksgiving brother and everyone

I loved this video,very real and I'm always learning something new about trains,who doesn't love a train? I'm glad you had a companion ,Anywhere man to travel with,and a yummy looking dinner,can't wait till the next video, Godspeed and keep warm!!

How about that? Mr. Shoestring and Mr. Tooth in the same video! “Let’s run the video, son”!

Hey Mark.. JT said he was trying to look you up. Glad you guys had a visit with Anywhere Man. I sent a happy thanksgiving for JT to pass on but since y'all are on the rail I'll say again... Have a great thanksgiving and stay safe!!

Nice. Looks like y'all having a great time. Love Troy's trick for getting the fire going. Who would of thought. We are never too old to learn a new trick. I personally now use a battery leaf blower for this since I can never get the fire pit going fast enough. It works like a charm. Troy had enough gear with the guitar...No room for a leaf blower. Waiting for part 2. Cheers to you both..

Once again Shoestring have a wonderful Thanksgiving my friend.🦃🦃🦃💕

Great video, Happy Thanksgiving to you and Troy, safe travels String!

I've learned so much from Shoestring's videos. I'm so sad how it ended for him.

I enjoyed your company!!!

Great to see you meeting up with jaw tooth, I try not miss his daily videos.

Been waiting for this one .The one and only Hobo Shoestring

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Shoestring to you and all your buddies! 🦃🦃 🚂 Have a safe ride.

Old Catty.... good to see you again Shoestring. Keep on riding and filming!

1952 Series 60 Caddy. I bought my son one when he graduated from college a few years back as a gift. This one is in much better shape! Pretty car.....

"But wait! There's more! Of'course there always is..."

That’s awesome to hear shoestring mention Binghamton NY , anytime you are rolling through these parts (Binghamton Ny ) I can bring you some supplies shoestring, not many trains rolling through here though it has been lights out here since 2021 .

Great video hobo, look forward to part 2 , safe rail travels 😊👍

Sup hobo shoestring, I don't know you but I watch your videos a lot, mostly on ones on train hopping out of nyc and jersey but much love and respect to you and happy holidays.

You guys rock Mark.... Stay safe!

I hope you feel good about selfishly pushing him to post more frequently because you'll never see another video from him. Sadly, they found his body in the lake behind his house. Shoestring had many health problems and that's why he wasn't posting as much, but selfish ppl like you are too busy thinking about yourself to stop and think about the fact that there just might be a reason why someone isn't posting very often. Shoestring really took it to heart and felt like he was letting his fans down when ppl would post comments like yours, so congratulations on helping to make a good man feel like complete shit. Shame on you.

Both you and Jaw Tooth are True Classics in Railfanning. 👍🙏

Looks like a Cadillac to me shoestring

Gotta love that Kerry Gold 👍👍 I like how the US sells butter in little sticks, the UK equivalent is a single block that tends to be about 2 sticks worth - unless you buy the XL blocks that would probably equate 4 sticks (250g pack or 500g pack vs US average 125g per stick)

Great video guys thanks for sharing
