Thank you for putting out this video. Like so many of Marks followers on his ride-outs, I was there with him too. I've been stuck in a wheel-chair for 25 years now and his freedom was my chance of a bit of escape from these four walls and this chair, over here in Scotland, UK. Our trains move faster so we don't get the chance to ride trains like the Hobo's do in a tradition in America that goes back to the beginning of rail-roads in the USA; often because they had to because of no work in the Great Depression, or because society wouldn't let folks fit in. Sending condolences from the heart, to you, his family and all the Hobo Family he had out there. You keep safe and all the best to you and all with you there, sir. Take care now and with such sadness, thank you again. God Bless you all.

The CIA spook had his death faked for him. They are Masons on KZread. That's why KZreadrs have all this money and get away with crazy things.
Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. R.I.P Shoestring ❤
I was a railroad supervisor, but met some very nice hobos, in my days. There was one, who I distinctly remember, named Midwest John. He’s probably gone now too. They used to say, when a hobo passed, the had caught ‘The Westbound.’
My husband and I have watched Hobo Shoestring’s videos for the past 3 years. Our hearts are sad that we won’t seeing anymore of his videos. Good bye Mark Nichols. You will be missed 💔

Very sad. As a train lover, for me, Hobo Shoestring led a life that I have only fantasized about. He wasn't homeless, he lived his life by his own choice and riding the rails was what he wanted to do. God Speed Shoestring.

Mark has a very nice townhome that backed to the lake. His home is immaculate, ordered, decorated, beautifully with train motif and train collections & memorabilia from fans that was, thoughtfully, displayed thrroughout his home. Truly a cozy, comfortable 'home'. He's an impressive cook who, again kept an immaculate, orderly, kitchen. His homebase was for when he needed to be stationery for medical & doctor appointments. His love was being on the rails.

Very sad. Watched his videos for 6 or 7 years!! I'm a railroad fan since I was 6 yrs old. I'm 76 now and will really miss Hobo Shoestring videos. RIP Shoe !!!!
I only became aware of Hobo Shoestring 2 days ago - purely coincidental timing. I watched one of his videos and then I found out he was currently missing. Saddened to hear of this outcome. He seems like a top guy and had so much respect reading all the comments. Ive always had an interest in the hobo tradition in the USA and the geography of your fantastic country, Mark seemed like the personification of wanderlust in a sadly disappearing age. I'll certainly go back and watch his videos and enjoy the legacy he has left. From the UK - thank you Mark, rest in peace Sir.
Mark lived his life exactly the way he wanted and he was at peace on earth. Shoestring we are all going to miss you and we all love you rider. Rest In Peace
Dearest Mark Nichols "Hobo Shoestring", you will be missed greatly, and every time I see a train, it will always remind me of how much I enjoyed your videos, sharing experiences, stories, and magnificent views from the train, and most of all seeing how much you enjoyed these experiences. Thank you for sharing these times. It was like I was on the ride with him. From the times of your travels to your favorite place and checking out apartments in Alaska, to riding around in the golf cart while visiting your dad, filming your apartment and showing train models, and gifts from fans, the National Hobo Convention to your daily rides, I greatly appreciated you taking us along. I started watching Hobo Shoestring's channel during the pandemic and with the views and stories, it was a nice ride along. His filming, editing, talks, description, and ability to see from riding a train perspective was amazing and appreciative. My heart goes out to him, and to his family and friends. I hope during the next National Hobo Convention, there is a memorial in his honor, as it is well deserved. His stories and experiences will live on, especially every time I see a train. All the best, Mark Nichols "Hobo Shoestring" and to his family. Ride on in memory. www.youtube.com/@TheHoboShoestring

I'm an old timer who used to ride the highline back in the 1970s. Be it Minot or Wishram or some yard in between, catching out in a rail town was the way to enjoy America. Watching Shoestring's travels reminded me of those days. If I didn't join the conventional working world I would have been happy to live life like he did, be it on a Cadillac grainer or hitching a ride in Alaska in Winter. He didn't fit into a usual conventional life, but he still succeeded way beyond any of us via his humanity. I sure am going to miss his video updates. My sincere sympathies to his family, those directly related to him, and the hundreds of thousands who knew him through his videos.
😢 All fans of Hobo Shoestring will deeply miss him. Rest in peace Mark Nichols.

It’s very hard to know that life goes on without shoestring, it hearts my heart so bad I can’t stop crying. I’m 62 former rail road conductor. Six years ago, diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Everything in my life made sense after I found out. It’s been almost a living hell my whole life and I only want to be away from people can’t stand being around people. I’m extremely talented and very intelligent, have built many airplanes, restored many vintage airplanes to perfection. I’m extremely talented, but I hate being around people . Rest in peace, brother.

I’m not sure it’s possible to “feel better” when that’s what’s going on. The sensory overload can be unbearable - the noise, the movement, the hard-to-speak-of sensing of what people *might* be thinking about you - especially if you have a lifelong history of being harassed, bullied and abused by your family *AND* society as a whole. Formally diagnosed at 47.

@@dennisyoung4631 Dennis, I want to thank you very much for your response. You are spot on exactly right 100%. Much of my life I’ve been on unbearable, overload, harassed, bullied, and abused by my own family, and everyone I thought was a friend. Completely misunderstood. Everywhere I’ve worked has always been a nightmare! Really don’t like being around people. Seems like everywhere I worked. I excelled tremendously and made everyone else look bad because I was so good at whatever I did .It has been a waste of real raw talent on people that took advantage of me. It has always turned out bad. But I know that God loves me, that’s why I’m still going. This has hit me pretty hard about hobo shoestring because he was really smart and had many talents. But was very comfortable all alone. That’s exactly how I am,rest in peace shoestring.

Even if his video only showed passing scenery, I feel like I was right there with him exploring America. To Hobo's family and many friends, I send my sympathies and prayers. May your fond memories help to carry you through this incredibly difficult time. Godspeed Mark, you will be missed by all of us and I hope you're riding the heavenly rails.

I'm sorry for your loss. I understand how you feel. Just a year ago, I had been following a KZreadr and watched her videos almost every day, I felt like I knew her. On April 7 of last year, I read a nessage on her Instagram and it was apparent that she was ready to take her own life. People from all over the world who read the message called the police where she lived only to find that she had typed the message three days earlier and only timed it to be released that day. It was too late, she was already gone, I didn't know her in person, but I cried for weeks, and even now I still cannot believe she actually is gone. My heart goes out to you and to all of his followers, friends and family,
Shoestring seemed like an excellently good-hearted person. Above and beyond.
Thank you for the very kind heart-felt tribute to Shoestring. It really breaks my heart that he is no longer with us, but he will ALWAYS live on through our thoughts and his videos.
I’ve only watched a handful of his videos. I will now watch the entire catalog from the start. I’m am very sad to hear this news. RIP Hobo Shoestring.
I've been watching his channel for almost three years now and he has got me through a severely difficult time. Rest in peace hobo shoestring
To have known shoestring, would have been to know one of the last truly free souls. Despite having had problems within this life, even if he were financially wealthy he still would've travelled, just more comfortably.
Today is April 6th, 2024. I was near a mainline in Springciry Tennessee this morning waiting outdoors to be seated for breakfast with my family. I found myself looking for Hobo Shoestring riding on a enclosed hopper car where he usually rode. Thought about him often. RIP Mark, your were loved by many of us !!!!!
My heart is so broken! I have been watching Hobo Shoestring for years, and enjoyed every minute of his adventures. I learned a lot from him. God Bless him, he was loved by so many. 😢❤
Sadly sleep deprivation is very dangerous even during the most mundane tasks and can happen to anyone. I'm so sorry that he was experiencing that in his last moments but I pray he walks gently with the Lord now in a place where our passions from our earthbound life are free to soar.

R.I.P. Hobo Shoestring, you will be missed. I learned many things about the railroad watching Hobo Shoestring videos. He made trips on the rails most of us would never attempt, he was very courageous. It seemed he knew this country better than most and his stories about his time on the rails is historic.
Thanks for the tribute…. Shoestring had issues, but tried hard to deal with them. I’m a disabled vet and know what he went through. Even so, everyone that has to deal with these issues is different. Saying goodbye to Mark is hard; he was a tough old bugger with a great attitude. I never learned of what happened to his son in Alaska, but I’m sure it all played a part. It doesn’t 9:33 matter how many people love you and are helping you, when the demons come, it’s time to go. I pray to our dear God, Lord and Holy Spirit that you embrace Mark in heaven and allow him to ride heavens rails for eternity. I’m reminded of the death of Hobo Stobe some years ago… if you are not familiar with him, look him up on the tube and see what a character he was. God bless you Shoestring, I never met you, but you are in my heart. RIP.
THANKS for sharing and the Tribute to Mark / Shoestring :( May he Rest In Peace and Ride on! So many of us never knew him, BUT MUCH RESPECT indeed! Take care all and he IS and WILL be missed! My Condolences to his Family and Friends.

So sad to see this happen because he has so much life in him to continue these adventrues. But for whatever reason that caused him to have these issues before he died, I hope more comes out on what really happened and what could we have done to save him. I will watch his videos as I am sure you all will too in sweet memories of Hobo Shoestring.
It's really sad to hear about his passing .As a kid, i dreamnt about riding the rails across the USA , even though i couldn't. The next best thing was watching Shoestrings videos.RIP 🙏🙏❤
I am a sleepwalker and wondering if the ER gave Mark meds that made him sleepwalk. It is weird and scary what you can do while sleeping. Wish the hospital gave a room so they could have monitored him. Just wish something different could of happened and he could still be here.
He will be missed ❤

R.I.P.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Awfully sad news Coyote's, I've been watching him for several years, he will be missed terribly. 😢🙏 Thanks for posting!
