Never met the guy but he was the only “celebrity“ that ever bothered me when he passed. He was a very unique guy who made you feel like he was talking to you in his vids, then he’d be riding the train and flip the camera around like a little kid and make a funny face, so enduring. Great man. Rest in peace Mark. You’re truly missed.
Where is this at? Did you find any of Shoestring's tags? I miss him ton and I'm deeply sad that he is gone from us but I know that the soul continues after this life so always do good to all you meet and be of good cheer.
SHOESTRING'S LAST RIDE. He awoke suddenly, having been sleeping peacefully cold as if someone had thrown water over him, but that didn't matter now, because there in front of him was a train, stopped, he must of been sleeping soundly, he had never heard it pull in, but better still, a carriage or two away was an open boxcar. Going for a look, he clambered in, no need to rush, they will be doing a crew charge, inside were plenty of corrugated cardboard sheets and a few pallets. He would travel in comfort he thought as he stacked the cardboard 4 or 5 high and moved the pallets around them. No bull will see him now. Suddenly he was tired and stretched out on the softest of beds, he must of dozed off because he awoke as the train began to move. His tarp, his bucket and hat, jump now to get them or leave them behind. This was to good a ride to miss, then he remembered his camera in his bucket, he wouldn't be able to video this journey to share with his 200000 subscribers, anyway by now the train was moving to fast to get off, there was no going back now. Sleeping again he dreamed of the doe he had seen in the wood with her 2 fawns, the salmon jumping in the stream, the first buds appearing on the trees, yes, indeed it was spring, after all it was April. Awake now, he looked out the door, somehow he wasn't cold anymore, not like on his trips to Alaska nor baking when he went down South. Something strange was happening, everything was shrouded in fog. He had felt the train slow down a little as he realised they were climbing higher and higher, funny because he never remembered an incline been here before, thinking about it, he didn't know where he was or where would be his final destination, he would sleep some more and figure it out later. Awake again, he looked out, there were snow covered mountains, but they were far below. Nothing made sense on this journey. Leaning out the door, to his astonishment he saw there were no carriages in front or behind his. Was his mind playing tricks again, and surely the rails weren't gold? Hour after hour he travelled higher and higher, eventually his carriage slowed to a halt, going to the door to try and figure out where he was, he heard a voice,. Panic set it as he thought it had to be the bull. But that voice was away softer than any bull he had encountered. Suddenly, it all made sense, the train, the comfortable ride, the dreams of everything that mattered in his life on the trackside, the long journey, when he heard the same voice say " Peter, go and have a look to see who has come home" RIP.. HOBO SHOESTRING ( MARK)
Man this gave me chills, as someone who enjoyed watching his many journeys from the comforts of his little apartment here in the South Bronx in NYC ... I thank you.
He spawned a rival of interest in America’s railroads & a flurry of Amtrak travel, foregoing airplanes, us included. We wouldn’t have had the courage without him. Ride on, Shoestring Mark, & God bless
Yes, both Shoestring and Stobe certainly did help to make the rail scene relevant again to a whole new generation and audience, so sad both are no longer with us 😢
I got hobo get over with it.I don't see anything.He did talk to any kind of way as a hobo.And box cars on freight trains.Any kind of talk of a hobo or bell on a fire on santa railroad to keep warm and eat his dinner
@@Husheydon’t be so rude, you realise you’re watching hobos, many of them old and recovered from abuse problems. Shoe string was popular because he was charismatic but that’s a rare trait and you gotta realise not everyone’s happy to talk in front of a screen. He’s obviously not a kid is he. Could just be his way of digesting what happened.

@@lurekayaklrf not rude at all to say "i do not understand this" it's stating that more context is needed
Ride on shoehorn
Did he commit suicide?
I think this is all bull.
His body was found by 2 fishermen on the lake behind his house.
Where the mind leads.....the body follows
Still don't know
