Having both Jaw Tooth & Hobo Shoestring on the same video means we’re in store for a Great Christmas Holiday and also 16 additional weeks of Hard Winter. 🥶😬👍
Hey ! String.....good to see your mind isnt gone yet, and as long as you can hear out of 1 ear, Amen🦦 Thank you and Lord bless you String and 🎊Happy Thanks Givin🦃🎉
Glad to see you out and about, Shoestring. Currently fighting double pneumonia, progressing quite well actually all things considered. Stay safe man ☮️
Great to see you out and about with Larry and Jaw Tooth. That is one nice looking Christmas train. I never knew that CSX ever did anything like that. You can't go anywhere now without people recognizing you. You are truly King of the Hobos.Take care brother String and have a wonderful Thanksgiving
This was such a cool video Shoestring, thank you for taking us along! I didn't know CSX had something like this. Seems like everyone knew who you were, too :) Good to see Larry and Jaw Tooth again as well. Take care buddy and enjoy your holiday weekend coming up!
Good to see you are getting around again hope the health problems are now well and truly in the past. Shoestring, Jaw Tooth and Santa all in one video...... WOW!
The train is the CSX OCS (office car special). CSX uses for special excursions when their company executives are out riding the line and entertaining prospective CSX customers. In this case the OCS is being used as the Santa train where the railroad stops in designated rural towns along the route and passes out toys, food etc to those in need
Good to see a hobo video! The Santa Train today was the 80th! An awesome tradition I'm glad they continued after the pandemic. Take care and ride those rails 💜
Awesome video thanks for sharing great too see you and Jaw Tooth hanging out the Santa train was awesome continued good health too you can't wait to see more videos
Great to see the great Santa Train Tradition once again. The great Clinchfield / CSX Santa Train Tradition brings much needed joy to that part of Southern Appalachia where Christmases can be very lean. A loud shout out to CSX and the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce and the legions of volunteers who make it all possible.
Nice varnish on that Santa train. Loved seeing it. That rolling stock is waxed and well cared for. Nice to see. I wonder where they keep those cars. Thanks for posting and nice to see u with Jaw Tooth.
Great video Shoestring. Ever since I started watching your videos I always wondered if a guy could ride an IM train. Now I know. It was pretty cool that one of your RUclips fans recognized you. Keep the videos coming!
So GOOD to see you again Shoe🥰 been laid up with knee surgery. Love this video. We get the Canadian Pacific Christmas train here thru Minnesota. Comes thru a different town each year. Thanks for sharing your travels 🥰🧑🎄🚧🚂🚂🚂
12:54 train passenger yells “shoestring” Shoestring not sure if you’ve ever rode the train up through the Royal Gorge. It’s beautiful, if you’re ever out in CO I’ll buy you a ticket !
Love ya brother, and stay safe. Love jaw tooth he is from my area the Cincinnati area. Would love to catch up with him one day and go train watching. He is very knowledgeable about our rail lines in this area. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas shoestring.
I made it into a Hobo Shoestring video! I have arrived. 😂. It was great meeting you and JawTooth at Boone's Creek Viaduct this evening. JawTooth and I were talking, turned around, and then saw that wreck. I'm glad nobody was seriously injured. We followed the train on down to Spruce Pine and got some night video. Glad you're doing well, take care!
Hey HOBO Shoestring the true HOBO King ! You and ol Jaw Tooth . Good to see you in your natural habitat . Happy holidays , God Bless and keep taking good care of yourself big guy .
I find model trains are pretty accurately made. I had bought an intermodel set well a prototypical set. They are connected in group of 5. Each set of 5 is considered 1 intermodel unit.
know what shoestring thank you for the videos. all of those stack pack containers and well cars and all the other railroad videos you make has me to remember my time like Deja Vo kind of memory recall feelings of my time (decades) of time I spent working on the bnsf ramp in denver. its old school good stuff you provide and albiet you know, its way cool kk ty E.
Great video of the INTERMODAL train stopped to allow the NS local to pass through! And then to catch the CSX Custom passenger train stopping in Kingsport! That thing is one CLASSY PIECE of MACHINERY! And to top it off by seeing JAW TOOTH made for an EPIC day! Two LEGEND'S doing what they do BEST! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware
Shoestring, that last car on the CSX train wasn't a power unit, it was a theater car, the whole back is glass so the passengers have an awesome view of the tracks.
ChainsawN&W1218, It's good to see You and Jawtooth getting together, really enjoyed the video from the IM being sided to the local with the caboose, nice looking EMD F40PH engines on the Santa 🎅 train, I seen You had some fans there, would like to meet You and Jawtooth, You guys take care!👍🛤🚂
I'm in Cumberland Maryland today just watching all the train traffic in the yard, I was just thinking of you shoestring, have you ever been in this area before, there is alot of history in this town, thanks shoestring for sharing your travels
Sweet camera shot Shoestring! Looked awesome when the train just started rollin with the camera hovering over the side rail. Thanks for another great video! 🤙
Great video Shoestring; Happy Thanksgiving to you & family; I’m glad you are feeling better; nice to see you with Jaw Tooth on his channel. Take care and be safe.
The Clinchfield Railroad (now CSX) started running the Santa Train in 1943, so this was the 80th running! It begins in Shelbiana, KY and runs 110 miles to Kingsport, TN, making several stops along the way to distribute toys and gifts. The last two years were not ran because of Covid, and CSX was not going to run it this year due to lack of personnel. But the new CEO changed this bad decision on his first day on the job, bravo!
I cannot think to imagine as I was watching your videos all day yesterday, you were out there making another one for us, thank you sir Shoestring I've loved trains already but you just made it far more interesting.

Shoestring & Jawtooth ought to be riding this train and handing out train memorabilia
Nice video. That's gotta be the best passenger train I've ever seen in my life. So glossy and the cool pristine cowl units.
The train is the CSX OCS (office car special). CSX uses for special excursions when their company executives are out riding the line and entertaining prospective CSX customers. In this case the OCS is being used as the Santa train where the railroad stops in designated rural towns along the route and passes out toys, food etc to those in need

Great to see you and Jawtooth together. I enjoyed the Santa Train. Its a pity we don't have something similar here in Australia.
Nah but we get em riding around on fire trucks in my part of NSW
Great video! Two for one, you and JT! Doesn't get much better. Beautiful Santa train. Cool that you caught it going across the trestle! Stay safe!
If there's something Hobo don't know... then it's not worth knowing. He can make telling time very interesting ... that's how good he is.

Probably passed you driving down the road today. Wife and I wishing you good health and happiness. Take care Shoestring. Left you a msg on messenger.
Beautiful CSX passenger train. First time I have seen this, looks freshly painted.
Great to see and hear your voice. New year is coming and I would end this year early and turn in the new year earlier.

You're becoming famous, Shoestring!! 😀
Happy Thanksgiving shoestring 😃
That Two-tone White Pick-Em-Up Truck looks like it’s 1/2 way in the Junk Yard Graveyard. Door still Slams Shut. 😬👍
That santa train was so much quieter than the freight trains.
Awsome shoe string I'm a broke ass veteran but when I get out of the hole I will definitely get some of yr gear,you are a American treasure
