Hobo Shoestring Missing, Not Forgotten! Train Watching, Interview & Best Times With Hobo Shoestring

Hobo Shoestring has been missing since March 27, 2024. He took an Uber to the ER, returned to his home near Johnson City, Tennessee and then disappeared. He left his wallet, cell phone, medicine and train riding gear at this townhouse. He is a critically missing person. If you have any information about his disappearance or think that you may have seen him please contact the Johnson City Police Department at 423-434-6160.
A friend of Shoestrings did some live broadcasts on Tic Tok with the latest info about him. His name is Troy and his Tic Tok channel is AnywhereMan. He has some short videos with pictures and information about Mark, Shoestring. I made an account there called jawtoothofficial so that I could stay in the loop. I met Troy one time with Shoestring and he is a very nice man. He travels the US by freight train.
I made this video to show what it is like to train watch with Mark. I have been with him in Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. He is shy so I rarely filmed him but you can see him in these video clips. Mark is a legend and one of a kind. We would text back and forth quite frequently and talk about our adventures to each other while we were on the railroad. He would send me a lot of voice messages but I never figured out how to do that. The last that I heard from him was the weekend before he went missing. I am praying that he will return safe very soon so that we can get together and make some more train videos.
I am donating the money to his family that this video generates. A Go Fund Me account was set up to help cover the costs for his family to look for him. Your viewing time on this video will help pay those costs. I have already made a contribution.
Filmed 2021 through 2023. Thanks for watching!

Last night I heard a train pass by, with its whistle ringing, and thought of Hobo Shoestring. Rest easy Mark. 🙏🕊️🌺✝️🛐.

RIP Shoestring. Thanks for the memories.

Just found out the Hobo passed away. Sad, sad, sad. He was a very nice man and made very interesting and entertaining videos. This is very sad. He was younger than me so I am saddened to hear of him passing.

So sad to hear that Shoestring has been found and the outcome was not what we had hoped for. RIP Shoestring. Your unassuming and humble approach to riding the rails kept us captivated for years. I'd like to think that Stobe the hobo has welcomed you with open arms and the two of you are sharing tales of your adventures around a campfire.

Good morning everyone.. Let's all keep Shoestring in our prayers. Those videoclips brought back a lot of memories. He should have been crowned king that year. There's not a rider out there who can claim anything close to the millions of rail miles he' traveled. Thanks Brian.. Have a great day!

Very well said. Praying that he is found safe & sound soon. And I couldn't agree more... Not to take anything away from the other hobos but yeah, he should have been crowned Hobo King that year. Shoestring has traveled in 49 of the 50 States, riden on the Canadian rails, and even hopped trains in Mexico. 'Ol boy has seen parts of this world that few ever will.

Jawtooth, This was your greatest video ever. I didn’t realize you were as close to Shoestring as you were. I’ve seen only a few of your videos with SS. I’m so so happy you had a relationship with him. I will ALWAYS have hope, but will struggle with optimism. I often feared this day, should Shoestring’s luck have run out. He was a True Living Legend; may he still be. He HAS to have known that so many people loved him. Jawtooth, I’m about your age, maybe older…but I’m sitting here with tears running down my face…come home Shoe…come home Mark…you are missed and loved by thousands.

[@JawTooth]

I really hope he comes back home safe, it was always fun to hang out with him

Hey Good looking out for the bro you guys, it sounds like he really had a badass bunch of friends looking out for him. I am really sorry for your loss, he was a really inspiring dude and I am glad I got to spend so many youtube hours just hopping trains with him. I also got to lose Jim Stobe. ShoeString? Thats a real blow. Much love to all who knew him. I am sure this community will figure out a way to keep his legacy alive. That young fella that lives next door? I think his name is Larry, Lets put him through College or Engineers School. I think Shoestring would like that. I keep bursting into tears. Mark was just such a positive guy and always had a fix for anything he encountered. One of the last Hobos of the old school. I'm sure there are others but he just lived his dreams and it really inspired me to live mine. Ain't KZbin weird? I feel like I knew the guy and we never met. I'm pouring one or twenty down for you old Hoss.

[@mrenfilade7178]

I remember meeting you both at that Hobo Con in Britt a few Augusts ago, so I'm having a tough time right now; I really want to be there on Saturday but have prior commitments. Mark is one-of-a-kind and such a genuine guy; I'm using present tense bc it's hard for me to consider the alternative. I remember gave him a few pairs of new RailRoad socks with a couple $100 bills inside them. Deep prayers for Shoestring to turn up alive and prayers for the search team this weekend.
