Me too, I used to watch all his videos but haven’t watched him for a few years..The other day he just popped into my thoughts and searched him up and found out the sad news..😢..Rest easy sir, love from Leeds England ❤
Man I hate seeing you gone Mr. Shoe String The Legend!! When I heard you passed on and as i a retired soldier kinda weeped a bit. I'm going to keep on watching your videos. I hope you know we are still thinking about u sir.

First watch since Shoestrings passing. I just couldn’t bare to watch until now. His videos were like a shot of earthiness straight into my veins. Thanks Mark.
This guy is an iconic character- as American as they make 'em. Godspeed to him and keep making these videos. The people that watch them are in league with him (including myself)

Gdamn you are a badass. I get my self to sleep at night imagining I'm somewhere on a train. I live this stuff through you. Many thanks to you and Jawtooth.
Hey buddie give (brave Dave’s train adventures) a watch he is a uk mountain runner who came over and rode the hobo rails and wow what an awe adventure he had it was actually stone the hobo who got him over bless him rip Jim x
I hope that kid you were talking about in the beginning finds good fortune. He's doing honest work, and he didn't try to rob or take advantage of you. Hopefully, his good deeds yield good fortune.
Hello there Mr Shoestring. I am just recovering from a heart attack, seven days ago. I opened my laptop to find your latest down load. Yes ….it did my old heart (71) good to see and hear you back on the rails again. I do hope you are keeping well and happy travelling the USA rails. I get to see sights and places all thanks to you. God bless and be safe to you and yours. MrJR/UK
i admire you shoe! in the 70,s as a young teen, i lived about 300 yards from the tracks, my brothers and i would jump on the trains as they start to roll, but we awalys jumped off after abot 5 miles, we were poor and nothing else to do! i remember a friend that almost lost his life when he slipped from the ladder on the side! be blessed buddy!
Love this type of video where you talk a lot more than just showing the ride itself. Feels more behind the scenes and that we’re there with you. Keep safe out there and happy adventuring!
Awesome video Shoestring! Awesome seeing your adventures and hearing your stories! And I always learn something new about railroading! Thanks for sharing and stay safe!👍
Roger Millar would be so proud that you used the name of the song like that! My grandfather was an engineer on the CNR line between Toronto and Montreal. He only had one job all his life and retired from it. I guess that is why I love trains so much.
Thank you for the great video adventure stories about people , places , things. I can't get out and about much anymore so I really enjoy traveling along with your video's.
Good of You to help that young Man out,locust makes great firewood. Always enjoy Your videos riding or checking out rail yards,I remember the hump yard in Roanoke VA NS closed it years ago, filmed there once,neat to see the cars go over the hump and sets of break retarders installed on each track slow the freight cars down as they classify them and build outgoing trains,be careful on those trestles Brother and enjoy Your ride!🛤🚂😊
My grandfather was an engineer on a GG1 back in the 50's and 60's. Died of a heartattack on the train when my dad was 18 years old. I grew up with my dad listening to these railroad songs - especially Johnny Cash - the rythem to all his music was the beat like a train. Cheers
Black locust, fast growing and very invasive. The government program WPA hired guys to plant these trees along newly constructed roads to help prevent soil erosion during and after the Great Depression. The blossoms are very fragrant around Mother’s Day and the wood is good for fence posts and making bows. Honey locust trees have the long thorns and reddish heartwood the black locust have cat claw thorns and a greenish yellow heartwood. Sorry, I got carried away.
Damn it Mark.. If I had known you was gonna be in Bangor I'd have hooked ya up with some crabmeat or lobster sandwiches & a care package for the ride... I'm only an hour or so away.. Ride safe & thanks for the vid..
I've been waiting for another video from you. Perfect night to watch. Way too hot and bad storms moving in here in Chicago. Friday night and shoestring perfect.
Black Locust Trees , very hard wood when dry , very hard to put nails in it , very good for fence posts they will last for lots of decades , will burn very hot when dry , will get hot like a coal fire when burned down , but makes a lot of sparks. Have good ride .
Even though Mark is gone I still come back to visit his videos. Same with Stobe. They were both amazing people in what they did! Gone yes, but new people will find their videos and go along for the many awesome rides and places both of these men took us! I for one will NEVER forget either one of them!! Keep riding Mark and Stobe on those heavenly rails!
Been watching your video for several years here in Portland, Maine. Love it when I see you’re in Maine. I was shocked two years ago when I saw your video just outside Rigby Yard, South Portland. Same place this was shot.
Mark, you’re such an inspiration…I’m pretty much right between Harrisburg and Scranton and brother, if you ever need anything on that line I’ve got you…got a nice camp myself that you could rest and recharge any time you want…
Bangor Maine, do you see any trailers for sale or rent? I hear they have rooms to let for 50 cents, but no phones, no pools, and no pets. 😉😂😊. It's great to see you again shoestring. Stay safe.
Those orange cars are newly converted sand cars into ballast cars. We are currently working on them in Portsmouth car shop and usually convert 50 per year. The current cars are electric/hydraulic powered using solar panels to charge batteries.
Hobo, We love your videos, My bother in law, who we lost last Friday, introduced us to you. He was a fan of yours. Take Carr, Be Safe, He was a Navy Veteran. ❤️
@@dianegray6545 I do too Diane. Your comments about your Brother In Law were deeply touching to read. He sounds like he was an honorable man. I'm glad that watching Shoestring was a shared joy between all of you.
Hey shoestring, I watch lots and lots of your videos for a long time now. I live in southern Maine so I was excited to see your latest video you were going through Maine.
I'm 35-40 minutes north of Bangor right near Brownville Junction and Derby! It's awesome that you are so close. I live a five minute bike ride from the CN tracks going over the Sebec River
@@richardsylvanus2717 Do you go to Dover or Milo to shop? I'm up at Milo, I grab certain things at Tradewinds and the rest at Wal Mart in Bangor. Also, if you railfan, go down to our train bridge / crossing over by the hardware store if you haven't. Great spot.
For future reference the building near the yard in Bangor is the old Bangor & Aroostook roundhouse. They used to have a couple of classification yards there (actually it’s in Hermon). I thought the track up on the bridge was Canadian Pacific (formerly Bangor & Aroostook).
aww shoestring i love to watch your night riding videos i hope you will make more in the future night time or day time they are all great to watch safe travelling .

Hey Shoestring, Glad to see ya back out on the rails! Thought I'd let you know that in Canada anyways, those two inner rails on the bridge are called "Jordan Rails."
Hey shoestring! Those are black locust trees! Glad to see you riding again! I’m out doing more filming myself, maybe we’ll meet on the line sometime? Take care my friend!
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues. I smoke, old stogies i have found short, but no too big around. I'm a man of means, by no means. King of the road.
@hobo shoestring I love watching your videos. I live in Cambridge Ma I’m so glad to see you in my neck of the woods. Stay safe and let me know if you ever need anything in the Boston Area. Stay safe on the rails. Enjoy the ride.
Yes. Black Locust. They are so freaky how quick they spread across my property/lawn and how quick they grow. The have roots that run underground and the saplings sprout from that. It's like an alien tree. 👽
Remarkable how similar the Appalachian Forest looks all the way from E TN to Maine. Trees looked like locust. Guess Maine has more Paper Birch and Larch.
The bridge you are on was the former Bangor & Aroostook main line to Northern Maine. I restore old motorcars that were used for MOW work! Safe Travels. Watch out for the man! That is the former BAR roundhouse. Canadian Pacific not CN.
You got up to Maine fast. Must of been the hobo express train just for you. Pan Am RR was a mess for years. CSX will be a bi improvement in Maine. Ride safe Mark!
Great vid! Very educational too. I grew up along those Philly/Levittown/Trenton lines.. Closer to the Woodbourne/Yardley/West Trenton ones, actually. I was wondering if you’d hit the NE again, glad you did.
Great Video Shoestring. Love your videos I live in Huntsville, AL I was real surprised to hear you mention it. Trying to figure out where to hop to WI from AL.
I’m just coming back to see the legendary shoestring and it’s got me tearing up 🥲 we gonna miss you dearly and all the great memories you lefted behind for all of us to come back and enjoy you’re journeys rip shoestring you lived one awesome life to be famous hobo you was fly high shoe ❤️❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🪽🪽🪽 go ride the rails in heaven with stobe … you will never be missed and comin from someone who never meet you in person I just wanna say I’m so sorry this happened to friends and family of shoe ❤️❤️🥲🥲
Hi String! Seems like forever since your last video. Glad to see you back. Propel is very good! Also, can you share with us that railroad app that you mentioned? I think that would be very interesting to look at.
@@postcards.to.myself yes. In the video he talks about an app that he uses that gives detailed information on rail line sidings, where trains are going, etc.
Enjoying your videos. We're starting to follow trains on YT and locating good viewing spots. That app you got to ID trains, tracks, hubs, etc. would be great for us! What is the name of it? Thanks in advance.
