- Ebay ended the auction on the listing saying destroying coins is illegal.
That's fine because there were mostly false bids anyway. This has happened before with false bids when I try selling items.
Sorry for the inconvenience
Godspeed Mr. Nichols, We Thank You for all you gave, And for all you have given.. R.I.P. Shoestring, You are greatly missed.. ✌
Lightning bolts are specific to CSX locos; they mean that the traction motors are AC powered instead of DC. AC power means that it's ~60% more efficient and tractive effort. So they save on fuel.
That's what I heard too
looloololo
@@TheHoboShoestring y
Didn't know about that lighteningbolt/AC thing. Thanks!
Hay that is something I can remember
Thank you
Oh wow! My best friend Jonny when we were young he took me to the rail road track by his home, and told me to put and quarter on the track and he did as well. And we watch as that heavy train with all its power pass by, it was incredible. We both kept the smash quarters as a memory.
Unfortunately I'll never get to try that at my age-!!! 😭. I remember doing that at an arcade penny flattening machine.😉.
Hi Shoestring
In the UK we use 'gumshoe' to mean a plain-clothes detective, because of the rubber-soled shoes they wear. Great video. Good luck with your treatment.
Specialist is code for three more bills from people you'll never see.
Damn truth.
Great to see you out and about the tracks. When I was 10 I climbed up on the track signal platform by my Aunt's house in Homeland California. This would have been in 1963. Well while I was up there a Super Chief, red and silver streamline went under and that hot exhaust scared the heck out of me. After it went by I hurried myself back to my Aunt's house. Memories, I'm 69 now .
I can just imagine that! Super cool!
Aww. You reminded me of me at my 6th birthday party at a huge park in Peru. Another girl dared me to climb onto a train. It took off. I was found about an hour later in the yard where it stopped. I was pretty scared. And of course grateful. Shoestring videos remind me to be grateful. I too am messed up medical wise. In my mid 60s.
Wow! That’s amazing!!!
The lightning bolt just means that the locomotive is AC powered. Originally the lightning bolt was put on locomotives that had radios installed. Shortly after WW2 trains started using radios more and more to communicate with and the lightning bolt was put on locomotives that had a radio installed. Over time they stopped doing that because all of the new locomotives got radios. So it died off and then CSX revived the idea of the lightning bolt but this time it meant that the locomotive was AC powered.
Nice!
Wow, that was really cool.
My friend who is a CSX engineer confirms that the lighting bolts is for distinguishing AC locomotives.
Do you rock AC/DC?
@@jeffreygoggin8 I play a few ACDC songs on guitar. Just got a new amp and guitar last night. I love 70s rock
So my Mrs & I just started watching you & your videos a couple months ago , and I wanted to say we wish you all the luck with your medical situation… stay safe , Happy 2022!! Stay safe man , riding the rails & in daily life! Keep the adventures coming for those of us who cannot be so “ Free & easy “ as yourself!😊👍.
Happy NY Shoestring! Good job on the video. Even though you can't ride now, I'm loving your trainyard videos and railroad knowledge and the stories. I'm praying for you and more videos of you sharing your interesting life. Thanks for sharing Shoestring, I'll stay tuned.
I think that brake piston is a thing worth repeating often, since it's a very important thing to be aware of when moving on and around parked trains. Take care Shoestring and i wish you a happy new year and good health, stay safe!
Absolutely 👌💯 agree 👍
Yeah shoestring your warnings ⚠️ could save someone from getting hurt
2022 the year of the Shoe...bless you !
Mark i have very fond memories here of making railroad pennys here.we used ta make necklaces out of them.aaahhh the old days.im in moline illinois, the rock island lines, davenport iowa and the silvis yard were huge railfan draws back in the day.ty sir for your service and keep us posted on your medical stuff going on .keep on keeping on bro happy new year, 2022 has ta be better!.
Love these videos! Gotta be super aware in the rail yard, with trains coming from both directions - yikes! Shoestring, I hope that the bidders pay up on the coins. I'm sure a few extra bucks would come in handy if you have to take some time to rest once your procedures get going. Happy New Year and all the best!
Great video!!! Awesome to see you out and about.
Happy New Year !!!!
What a great start to 2022!!!
Greetings from Ireland!!!!!🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪
M.S.
God bless and happy new year Shoestring. Your not selling out, your lifestyle is a symbol of freedom and a man living on his own terms and your lifestyle is "romantic" to many of us and by you offering things we can buy lets us be part of that. You offer a great service in your vids and deserve to be compensated at least thats how I see it. If gamers streaming can make millions by plugged products, by far you deserve a buck or 2. Sorry to get on a soap box. Just an idea, I don't know how you are at editing but you have a bunch of older vids that are only a few mins long, if you maybe combine them with a short intro to each and add music makeing an hour long vid from the short ones would be nice, that's just an idea for your down time.
To a new year filled with trains and good health! You're the best Shoestring
Great to see you've had a great New Year's day! Glad you got the coin's flattened! Praying for you to get over your health setbacks and back to a good healthy normal life!
String....you best go in with that hat on, fur sure they take you in scoooldeedo right away !!! Mark 11:22. Happy New Year, get what Happy 🥳you can out of it.👋
Happy New Shoestring Year!! Hopefully you will get your health all squared away. Best wishes and travels for 2022!
Always makes my day Better when you upload New video God BLESS 💟💟
Bummer about the auction. I suppose those machines that you crank to "destroy" a penny into an imprinted souvenir for a mere 50 cents are illegal as well. We should be able to do what we like with our money. Oh well. Can't wait til the T-Shirts come out. Good Luck on the 11th Shoestring. 😊
Happy New Year Shoestring!! Prayers for a good outcome with your procedure!!
Sorry to hear about the appointment cancellation. Always the way! They just did that to me a couple weeks ago. Had to see the hand specialist for the final time after my hand surgery for a broken right 4th metacarpal, and they cancelled on me the day before the appointment! They had just called me TWICE that day to make sure I was coming, too! Unreal. Not just TN I guess - this is up in MA, where we're supposed to have the "best" medical system in the world. I beg to differ on that, lol. Anyway, great video, Mark! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Looks like your coins are getting some big bucks, too! CONGRATS!!
Happy New Year! Hope you enjoy good health and lots of sweet rides in 2022.
Thanks for uploading shoestring you always make my day better!
That’s really awesome Shoestring. It was good to see you out and about. It will be interesting to see what happens with those coins. We’re still praying for you. You take care and have a good one. 👍👍👍❤️
@bryan
They're likely fake non intending people bidding who won't pay........just making a game of it. lol
@@TheHoboShoestring $14700 as I type this. You'll likely have to relist, then block the jokers so they can't continue to bid.
Happy New Year Shoestring , all the best riding the rails in 2022.
I learned so much from watching your videos Shoestring!
I will never hop a train. BUT, if I have too. I know what to do Thanks to your awesome videos!
Happy New Year!
I hope the appointment is over and you're on a train right now filming an awesome and long train adventure for us
Greetings from Northeast Georgia. Glad to see you out and about!
Wishing you the best for a good outcome to your procedures - whenever they happen - and another of year of good health and happy riding.
Shoestring, love you man! You're the genuine article, the gumshoe info scratched an itch I didn't know I had... If you ever come through MD this year, let me know. I'd like to come out and support you if I can. Keep riding, brother!
I'll definitely be through Hagerstown again soon
@@TheHoboShoestring right on, I'm not far from there. Would love to come give you a high five... well, high three... (sorry, I make jokes)
I enjoy your videos very much. Im just an ole country boy myself...grew up in eastern KY coal fields. I can truly relate to why you do what you do. Its something inside you and your spirit. A person either has or you dont. This is not something you can " learn" or be taught. Its in your soul. Good luck to you and be aware and stay safe.
I just came across you videos love em get well brother don’t rush getting back in those tracks they ain’t going anywhere stay healthy 👊
As always Great Video Shoestring!! We will keep the Prayers going until you are over all this and Feeling better! Shoestring Nation #1......
Who would have ever thought that there would be a $14,000 bid for those three coins. Im sure this will help Shoestring greatly!!
Just trolls outbidding each other with no intention of paying...lol
@@TheHoboShoestring this is freaking awesome!!! This is the first time I've gotten a reply from you. I hope its not just people trolling the listing!!! That money would, I'm sure be a great blessing with your ongoing medical issues.
@@joejarrell2578
Trolls bidding with no intention of paying....lol
Happens every time I try to sell something on ebay....
@@TheHoboShoestring well, I hope not but.....you're probably right. You should put more on there. I would definitely buy some stuff. Wanted to send you a package but couldn't find an address to send it to.
Hey Mark what a great video. Love the way you just spew out info on trains and old sayings _ terms. On your surgery- just let go & let God. His plan & schedule are always the best. Spent New Years in bed with the grip but am on the mend. Have a blessed New Year & a healthy one 🥰🚂🚂🚂
Happy 2022 & Good to see you out and about… The Entire World is being rescheduled so keep on chuggin & making those precious memories… 🇺🇸
Happy 2022 to you! Following you as always from New Mexico via say USA 🇺🇸 😀
I don't work in/near/anything to do with railroads, but even. If I did, I would not be turning anyone in. Short of someone legitimately harming someone else, I got enough on my own plate.
Love your videos my friend. I enjoy my creature comforts too much to try it myself.
Happy New Year!! It’s great to see you!!
Happy New Year!!!! To you Shoestring enjoy your videos hope your appointment goes good so you can get riding again soon and Hello from Linton Indiana!!!!!
24:55 the highway reflector looking thing on the yellow cross tie is a tie light. They have a solar panel on top that charges by day and illuminates 4 LED lights at night, two on either side.They're used to mark the clearance point of a switch.
Love your videos. Your a hero to me. How to start train hoping? I'm 30 years old and always since a kid was interested in Hobo's. I'm in Utah and used to talk to the train hopers down by the Ogden railyard. Thanks for your videos.
Happy New Year Shoestring! Pity about the dates getting pushed back all the time. It's happening over here too. I'm glad you're in out the wind for now anyway. Take Care and Keep Warm! All the Best!
Happy new year Shoestring and to great rides in 2022 prayers!
Happy New Year! Safe travels! I think that looked like Hobo Stobe.
Mark, I was doing some cleaning and I found a coin I flattened back in 1978. I couldn't believe I still had it. Lol
CSX 10 years or so would advertise to move freight for .02C per mile that’s pretty incredible! Good luck shoeString with good results on procedure and great recovery, I’m anxious to bid on the coins 😊
Happy New Year Everyone! Hobo, I'm Praying for you Brother!
brother you have served your country you deserve a nice place to live and be out of the weather take it easy I know it's in your blood to travel settle in enjoy being around the young ones in your life share stories I miss my elders they always has stories of days gone by I have a granddaughter she needs me and I her this old marine salutes you I hope you get a million subs if they want to pay you take it you deserve everything good in your life stay safe bud watch your health have faith in the good lord keep on rocking !!
I wish you could have caught out and not be worried about that appointment. That rabbit fur hat is the perfect winter camouflage for a hobo.
You’re still doing interesting videos whatever the content and wherever you go. If you are in the medical machine just go with the flow and do whatever is needed until you’re out the other side and can get back to normal - been there done that!
I too have bits of me that work better than others, as special forces guys say “Adapt and Overcome”. Have a good year!
Thank you friend! Happy New Year!
shoestring happy new year! much blessing!
Actually, a gumshoe was a sort of precursor to the modern sneaker (Funny how I never thought of the origin of the name sneaker until now). Gumshoes were worn predominately in the late 1800’s, and we’re noted for their stealthy attributes. The term “gum” was nearly interchangeable for rubber, indicating they had a rubber (or like material) sole which, compared to other footwear of its time, was rather quiet on hard surfaces. The nickname stuck for police and private detectives due to the nature of their occupation and is still in use to this day.
That makes sense. Very interesting, thank you.
The lightning bolt means AC traction motors Shoestring. Thanks for posting 👍🏼😎🇺🇸
CSX uses the AC traction engines here in the Alleghenies to bring coal out of WV through the mountain division. Need that power/traction to climb those grades.
Happy New Year Shoestring...

Happy New Year Shoestring , your videos will never be Dull or Boring.

Happy and Blessed New Year Shoestring
Happy New Years Shoestring 🙏📸
Happy New Year Love you Shoestring. Good luck with everything. Iam 🙏 all is well and no more....... Delays.

You can really be put on hold if you get a health issue anymore Shoe . I like many have experienced it and I’m sure you know .Always enjoy watching my friend . Wish you well , keep on traveling 👍👌🥾

Duane/ Visalia,Ca
Top of the new year to you Shoestring....
Stay safe out there my brother 🙏
Greetings from a Train Driver in Germany and happy new year. Super flat coins 😅
Hey Shoestring! Glad you're back! Been missing your vids! I wish I had discovered you years ago. Just wanted you to know the best video I like is the Minnesota to Nebraska one. You didn't want to go back to Fargo. Most favorite video! Take care! FEB, 11 2022, Hey at 30:13 did any one else see that frog jump along the rail as he panned back from his pan up start point? Did you see the frog "Shoestring" in real life or do you see it now in the vid. Just caught my eye today. That's why I watch videos over and over cause the brain doesn't always catch everything!! Have a good one!!* p.s. Minnesota to Nebraska still favorite and solid rocket / planting seeds probably the 2nd best.
my bother worked for the maine c r road and the wis central he helped get it rolling by in the early 90's . then he started a school training engineers in wis . l have alot of flattened coins . thanks for the video ss .
Firstly let me say the $$ is yours do do whatever TF you want to do with it. You earned it fair and square. With that said. It sure would be pretty awesome to see you help out someone that is has fallen on hard times or just to see you brighten up some little fellows day. At the end of the day you know what is best and only you can make the best decision for you. Happy new year Shoe! :-)
I'd say get something that films 1080p so your videos age 'well'. I don't watch much 4k but I do apprecaite 1080p. You're the only fellow I watch in 720p. I'd really like to see 1080p!!! Especially when you be showing country.
🎉Happy New Year Shoestring 🎉
Good luck on your auction! I would bid but more than I can afford at the moment. Stay safe!
Good video ,I'm slowly getting my grandchildren interested in Shoestring videos
Happy new years and hope everything goes well for you
14,000 Dollars! so far. Wow! You deserve every cent of it. Keep the videos coming man and stay safe.
Just a couple of trolls bidding now..
They have no intention of paying anything....lol
Happy new year buddy!🇨🇱
Happy New Years Buddy!
Awesome!! A new video. Good to see you. Love the flattened coins. It's going to be mad fun seeing what those coins do on eBay. Love seeing you out in the yard.Before you know it, you'll be healthy as a horse and riding the iron rails. If I ever see a train rider, I'm not going to say anything. They aren't hurting anything
60 years ago over here in UK near Basingstoke, Hampshire, us lads would put 1/2 pence pieces on the main tracks to be pressed to double the size.. Big pacific locos such as the Merchant Navy class would do the job. We then used the coins in chewing gum machine. It really worked.
Love the videos Mike
I remember doin' that, lol.
In the foodservice industry, those large cans you call "gun boats" that tomatoes or coffee comes in are called "number 10" cans. Why, I don't know, but they hold the equivalent volume of about 13 cups of product. Thought you might like to know that little tidbit.
they might use those engines with the AH designation, like the one you pointed out, on coal because coal trains are heavy and AH is a designation that indicates extra ballast has been added to the engine to increase its tractive effort
Happy new year dood!
Remember the (1973) movie " Emperor of the North ". Lee Marvin (Hobo) Ernest Borgnine (Yard Bull). 1933 depression era adventure about Hoboism. " Shoe👞 String's favorite movie-!!!😉.. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Viewing this production from the comfort zone of my computer🖥 room. Along the " Space Coast "🚀 of Florida🐊🐊. Wonder if he spent any time in this region🤔. Wishing viewers/ " Shoe👞 String a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024) 🌈🎉🌞💵😉.
When it comes to eBay I never do auctions cause people just mess them up on purpose. I always just do buy now. Learned that lesson along time ago. Don’t do auction just use the BUY IT NOW ✌🏻🚂🔥🔥🔥🔥
The “AH” on GE locomotives denote a “Heavy” version of the regular AC44/AC45 locomotives(44’s and 45’s are the same thing, UP likes to be special). With the added 20 tons (220 to 224 tons) they’re uprated to 14.4 equivalent powered axles instead of 12.1. They pull significantly harder at slow speed. Easily an extra 20,000lbs of tractive effort at 10 to 14mph.
They are a relatively new locomotive. The engine numbers are assigned by the Railroad and have do have a code. In 20 years on the rail, I haven’t figured it out. Especially with all of the very recent electrical updates(PTC/EMS etc).
There's a good video even though you're not Riding At least you're out about And happy New Year to you too this is Ron from Florida
Happy new year best wishes from fargo friend learning a lot boss
Hey Shoestring, you should do the 40 cent train stomping bit for each video you upload on the Tube.
Along with your letter of authenticity, and autograph… we’d all have a chance to hold a little Hobo history.
Absolutely love Watching your videos my friend, my God bless you with many more safe travels around the rails, and wherever the paths lead you too!
Getting back on track thanks Shoestring!
Happy Rail Hummin New Year Shoestring !
Happy New Years from Britt - temps on Sunday morning here were -4, before factoring in the wind chill!
Another awesome video. Good luck with your procedure.
Glad to see you doing good I now the medical can be a nightmare am from delaware
As of now. $172.50 so far for those coins! Awesome income generator Hobo!! Great Idea!
Funny that's something me and the family do with coins we go out to the special units like the big boy the 484 and all the heritage units when we put the coins on the track and we put them next to the HO scale models. It's a great benefits of living in Arizona you get to see just about everything. Good job with the coins on eBay so far. 😁👍
Modern day Woody Guthrie....Bound for Glory,Shoestring
I can recall going to shopping malls, etc and there were machines there into which you inserted your penny/nickel/whatever and you cranked the handle to flatten the coin and impress an image into the coin. What a shame to think that all those machines were "illegal" ... smh Hang In There, Shoe
Yup i have few of those Do they still have them?
Cabelas and bass pro still have them
Looks like the Ebay Auction is doing Great. You’re a Class Guy so I won’t be surprised with the Highest Bid. 👍
@bryan atlmost 15 now
Cool Shoestring that’s how fun shoes got the term? I had at some point wondered about the moniker lol. Thanks the info you come up with off the cuff alone is worth watching for sure
