Helter Shelter camp and deteriorating CSX rail bridge! (See description) Hobo Shoestring 2023-10-08 | Set up tarp camp on Nolichucky River instead of Doe River because of the distance and amount of gear to carry. So i decided to camp south of Erwin off the Appalachian Trail next to the CSX tracks.Later in the video show maintenance issues and deterioration of the railroad bridge crossings the Nolichucky River. My friend Gib stunk up on me this morning while I was still asleep and made animal noises and tried to make a bear sound then banged on my tarp with a branch anð freaked me out! I thought some crazy hillbilly was messing with me wanting me to leave but Gib always has a gag or funny act up his sleeve for you...lol! Anyway, this is a quite long video and you may want to watch it half one night and the other half at a later time but it's full of interesting facts and information. My shifts will be on sale all colors and sizes. i hope you enjoy the video! i accidentally had the camera set in full instead of 9:16.

Corn train dumped me at a silo! (read description): Hobo Shoestring 2023-06-15 | I mentioned HO-scale trains Ken and me playing with but I meant O-scale. Normally all grain whether it's corn, soybeans, wheat, etc always is shipped to an ocean/sea port for exporting overseas, but this grain (feed corn) train took me to a silo to be offloaded and fed to over 500,000 head of chickens! So I was dropped at a corn elevator/silo just outside Charlotte, NC!I had to hitch hike a ride to the Bostic yard in order to get back on "track". I was filthy from head to toe riding with hundreds of thousands of pounds of feed corn, but I made it back to the big yard 35 miles west where I caught a northbound as soon as I walked onto railroad property.
Pink car ride old school style IM! (description explains a lot of details) Hobo Shoestring 2023-06-10 | Seems like all the railroad cars are going pink color. Not sure why?The older deep well IM well cars were known as T125-48 cats. 95% of those IM well cars have no floor in themuet some riders still balance on the beams and it's called riding suicide and there's no better fitting name for that riding process!James Hale is who sent me the battery banks and they're nicer than the three year old one I had. I appreciate it James!my merchandise website link is:www.shoestringarmy.com I truly appreciate your support!Back when I started riding almost every container well car was rideable like this but now they're scarce! only a handful exist today.I was extremely lucky to have ridden it! I only wish I'd been going to New Jersey because this is a where this IM train was headed to the Port Authoriry to be offloaded onto an overseas container ship likely bound for Southampton or some other large European port for offloading.
