@@lordrevan57 Was missing for over a week. They finally found him in the lake by his house. News confirmed and also his friends on youtube. Not much on what happened yet other than he had went to the E.R. and then left but was maybe disoriented and a bit lost.
I like how this video magically popped up right after watching Matt and his heartfelt video about his beautiful friend. I think Shoestring is alive in spirit because you can feel the love with all of the friendship videos popping up.
Awe ❤️❤️🌸 Shoestring Mark Christmas last year!!! 🌸❤️❤️🌸 He’s all around us in spirit! He spawned a rival of interest in America’s railroads & a flurry of Amtrak travel, foregoing airlines, us included. Wouldn’t have ever had the courage without him. Ride on, Shoestring Mark, and God bless.
Alright Hobo! Great review of your gifts! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year filled with good health and lots of fun travel my friend! ❤️
Glad you had a great Christmas, Mark. Best wishes for your upcoming appointments. AND...The next time you are in Maine have some real lobster, fresh off the boat.. Try some Maine crabmeat as well.
Have a very happy Christmas. Thank you for the fantastic videos throughout the year. We hope to see more of you in the new year. God bless you shoestring. 😊😊😊
Tis' the season and people really respect you Shoestring. A man or women can't ask for anything more in Life than respect and dignity. Very cool and generous of Matt and Ted. God Bless everyone ✨
Merry christmas shooestring! Omaha steaks--yum! And a new train. So glad to see you're having an awesome day. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. TY Matt and Ted for sending such awesome stuff.

YES SIR I REMEMBER MY DAYS AT THE OLD SOUTHERN PACIFIC, THE YARDMASTER WOULD BUY SOME OF DEM MEATS FOR THE CREWS AND BBQ DURING THE HOLIDAYS , MAN THOSE WERE THE DAYS
Happy Holidays old friend - and all the very best for 2024 that's just around the corner. Your adventures gave me great pleasure to watch and I (selfishly 😅) eagerly look forward to more in the new year!
Nice gifts! Good to know you'll be heading out again soon. I ride by your favorite let-out spot nearly every day to see if you're tooling around. (it's also a good railfanning spot, ha!)
Wow that's awfully nice of your viewers to send you all of those nice gifts all that meat will be well it'll last you a long time. Hope your appointments go well and looking forward to you getting back out on the rails. Merry Christmas to a string and a happy New Year I'll see you on the rails.
Wow Omaha Steaks gift is fantastic! Thanks Hobo Shoestring for an amazing 2023 as we are now well into 2024 wishing you another great year traveling on the rails!
Xmas greetings from North Yorkshire UK! Good to see you on Christmas Day. Hope you have a great day and I look forward to seeing your next travels. Nice to see you looking so much better after all your health issues. Good luck and God bless you in 2024.
Great to be a video from you Shoestring today on Christmas day and your time at home before you leave again Thank You and Take Care Shoestring.🇺🇲🤠👋👋🤠🇺🇲 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
Merry Christmas Shoestring, I just want to thank you for giving me something to do while waiting for a train. lol I keep watching for your tags on train cars. lol I've not seen one yet, but it gives me something to do. Cheers!
Merry Christmas. I've never "hitched" a ride on a train. I'd get caught and get free room and board at the local jail I guess. But I can travel for "free" watching your videos. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and if you ever come through SW Missouri I'd buy you lunch!
Hey shoestring, I got a yeti bucket like you carry around and a padded bucket lid seat. I'm being a copy cat. I noticed that the yeti bucket isn't the same size as normal hardware store buckets at the brim, being about an inch wider in diameter. Yeti doesn't have a cushion seat lid for their buckets, so how did you do it? Did you glue or fasten the padded lid to a yeti lid? Hope to hear from you soon Shoestring. Happy holidays and safe travels!
Happy new year Mark😊, great gifts from your buddies, don't eat it all at once or you'll never hop on your next ride,lol. Look after yourself, stay safe, best wishe's, Stuart Uk.
Nice gifts from Matt and Ted 🙂 You've never had lobster before? Make up a nice garlic butter sauce to drizzle/spoon over it, in my opinion it gives lobster a really nice extra bit of flavour. Merry Christmas and happy new year Shoestring!
Congratulations for friends like us sending you gifts for the season we thankful you're happy. Shoestring Marry Christmas and New Years to you friend. Would you look at that scale O model train is awesome N & O scale collection.
I love watching your videos of Train hopping Shoestring People, as I also have a UA-cam Channel of Art with lots of mistakes as my channel is about 3 months, since I started. I am learning from you as well as other channels. Thanks for Your Help. Happy New Year!
The shell steam locomotive is a different type of HO, it is a display locomotive with the cars that go with it that have the round hole and cup looking things. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you. I do have a question for you, have you been in blue Ridge Summit in Pennsylvania at all before?
Rest well Hobo/Mark. Thank you for your videos and thank you for letting this old man live through you on your trips across the rails.
All around good guy / will be missed by many ❤
He passed away!? How do you know??

Merry Christmas Shoestring. Those are some nice gifts. Those small trains are at least 20 years old. I had some of them. I gave mine to my nephew.
Cool train set. You scored great this Christmas
I cant remember, but there used to be a second HO scale. Kinda a sub-scale.
Merry Christmas Hobo. Safe journeys.
Merry Christmas, Mark, Have a very blessed day and New Year, also.
Was very nice of them sending thoughtful gifts are the best 🙂👍
Thanks for the ride. I enjoyed. The information you handed out. On the railroad. Stay safe.
The silver Ford pickup is a 72-76 series. in 72 they moved the park lights/ turn signals above the headlights.
