I came across your videos last weekend and have been hooked since the first one. I've been watching all your videos all week now... I just love what you do. My grandmother told me about train hobo's when I was a child, she had a hobo symbol on the back of her garage, the meaning was that her place was a place to get a good home-cooked meal and to get washed up a bit. She never let them come into the house but she fed them and let them use her garden hose... There was a short line railroad that hooked up with the then Santa Fe railroad in Wichita, Ks... Hoboing has always been a fascination for me. You've been an inspiration and just a plethora of railroad knowledge. I live in Argonia, Kansas now, there is a BNSF two-track high-speed main railway just 4 blocks from me, man they go through here fast...I can hear them coming from miles off, seems I can almost feel them first before their horns go off... A lot on IM's, mixed freight, and grain trains. There is also a huge, I mean big grain elevator about 10-12 miles East of me that is always full of grain hoppers getting filled up there... There's a small grain elevator about 15 miles West of me in Danville, Ks Enough of my rambling, so, Keep on keeping on them rails, Hobo Shoestring. May have safe travels.

I recently had trouble sleeping due to catching CoVid & got knocked on my ass. Was prescribed some sleeping shit that just didn’t work. I was gonna tell Hobo to break the damn things in half and maybe that’ll help. Anyways…. God bless to all & live safely.

Shoestring, Those plates on the tank cars are called "head shields" They are to keep the coupler from piercing the end of the tank cars during a derailment as you said,🚂
@rodchallis80312 жыл бұрын
Just did some digging around. I think the head shields indicate they are DOTT 117 tankers, which are phasing out the DOTT 111. Not only are the head shields added, but the ends of the tanks are thicker, and a different steel formulation is used. (Normalized Steel) While the deficiencies of the DOTT 111 were known, it wasn't until the horrific "accident" at Lac Megantic that both the U.S. and Canadian governments got serious about requiring safer tankers. DOTT 111's, for flammables, are supposed to be phased out by 2025 in favour of the DOTT 117's. I rewatched the video to see if I could catch "DOTT 111" or 117 on the tankers but if it's there I didn't see it on either type.
