How Blessed are you to Meet the Legend of the High Rails. Mark is Every bit as Nice as your Chance Meeting him alongside the Tracks. Your Best Lucky Day Ever. 👍🙏
☺️👍 Multiple times he has passed within a few miles of me... I watch for him on every train I see... One day I will meet him. I also look for his tag but so far I have not seen one.
Hey there, Ray.. I’m here after “meeting” you over on Shoestring’s channel and I’m your newest sub. Sure is a small world, isn’t it? Hopefully we can say howdy if you’re ever down near Alvin TX. Be safe, my friend.
Too cool ya met him. Nice. Yeah whenever I have a good day (at work, or in general) and I get a chance to come across a green signal and I film a train, I always tell my wife it was a great day today. In your case, it was an awesome day. Cheers to ya ☺
Hobo Shoestring. A life well lived. Mark is the REAL King Of The Hobos and always will be. Thanks for everything Shoestring. RESPECT Sir. Rest In Peace Rider.
RIP Shoesring. Mark and I had spoken back and forth over email. We had spoke on meeting at the Worcester line and document his travels, as I'm a photographer. I had intended on tagging along but life events changed the circumstances and was never able to meet him. I wish I had the honor of meeting him, but a simple correspondence with him was honor enough. His tag on canvas sits high up on my office wall. Thank you for honoring his memory.
I’ve been watching his videos for a couple of months now and now I just found yours. There’s another rail fan on here from around Cleveland/Ooltewah Tn here. @Train Crazy
That "tag" is called a moniker, my friend 😉✌🏽 its us tramps and hobos way of lettin each other know where we've been and also a way to say hi when we see each others mark around.
That's awesome.. my youngest daughter and myself are going to hop a train for the first time and I'm 53yrs old. It's been my childhood dream to hop a train.
Blowing his spot up come on now but I'm willing to believe that this was all agreed upon sound like a very special guy because nothing from nothing. I sure like to be in your position right now. I ain't lying
Glad that you got to meet the legend himself, Shoestring. I know what you mean by being nervous when you first met him. I was the same way when I first met him but found out there was no need to be. He's just as down to earth in person as he is on his videos. Subscribed to your channel. Take care
Good Yall are in the same area,Shoestring Is a good Guy,I'd like to meet Mark,been watching Him for awhile now. I was finally able to send Him some extra train stuff I had last year and He emailed Me thanking Me for it,would like to meet You Guys someday, enjoy Your videos on the Bristol line/Crescent Corridor and Shoestrings!🛤🚂
I shared this link so you should aquire some traffic now
Thank you Shoestring
Glad to see you shoestring,nice of him to video it..😊
@@easttnrailray5685 would of been funny if he started hooting at you, pulled his Puppet out and had you talk to that while he made a get away 😂
It's not everyday you get to meet a legendary hobo, congrats.
Indeed
That is awesome that you meet hobo Shoestring
I have been watching for him for a long time.

Me too, I have often wondered myself
That's wonderful that you got to meet hobo shoestring
Yes I was a bit nervous
@@easttnrailray5685 I understand that

No chance of meeting him in Wales uk, mores the pity lol
Hobo shoestring sent me. New sub here. Glad you got to meet him, very cool.👍👍👋👋
Thank you for subscribing, Thank you, Hobo Shoestring aswell
I was there the other day, they had a train split in half, I have seen him around town a few times on his bike.
I'm pretty sure that was NS 126 that was tied down and split so they weren't blocking the crossing.
That’s great man. Would love to meet him someday. ✌️

Thats awesome Brother especially to meet him out on the rails like that. Once in a lifetime experience.
Man, I still can't believe it. I almost got in my truck after a train had passed by, and I said I would walk across the road for minute.
@@easttnrailray5685 Thats awesome Brother. That's a great memory you will always have I'm glad for you.

I’ve been trying to meet that hobo for years vast amount of railroad knowledge and wisdom
Funny, YT suggests old Stobe videos now and again...now I re-watch Stobe to look for Shoestring tags!
I have another one of Shoestrings Tags from the Bristol Va. yard.
