He was trying to walk across a railroad bridge in Baltimore and was hit by the Amtrak train. Those trains move much faster than the freight trains

[@frankrusso9200]

It's rather strange. I live in the area & went out to the site; it's not a narrow bridge or anything like that - more like a major one outside of the main city area. He did carry a big pack. And yes, it was an AMRAK train.

Did what? Ride freight trains around and record himself? Shit bums and dumbasses do the same thing save the recording part.. only impressive part is the recording and his music and ability to make a story. I think his videos are great so I’m not knocking him at all.. cool train barnacle and he has some smarts to him.. but to say you can’t believe he did this stuff what a soldier? That I don’t get. I dunno how old you are and if your younger than maybe I could see why you may say that since you haven’t had a chance to do a lot YET in your life. ( and I don’t mean that in a negative way I’m not putting you down) I’m 40 and have done a lot in my life and been all over the US and Europe and Middle East. I’m not going to toot my own horn so that’s all I will say. I dunno I just don’t see what is so impressive and tough about what he is doing. Other than the art aspect of it (his videos and music). Anyone can do it. Homeless people who don’t have a choice do it every day and a lot of them have mental shortcomings witch caused them to be homeless in the first place.!

What elevates Stobe's videos over other people's (IMHO) is his piano playing. It's very evocative, and adds a sort of romance to the videos.

RIP STOBIE

[@hospicenursingab]

Gully Foyle what happened how'd he die

[@chromabotia]

I don't have the definitive answer. But this is what I have heard from reputable sources. Stobe was crossing a railroad bridge outside of Baltimore. There is a fast (as fast as a train gets in the US) Amtrack passenger train that runs from Baltimore to DC that went by as Stobie was crossing the bridge. A train going by at say 115 mph generates a draft, a vacuum if you are near it. This is where it gets fuzzy. Apparently Stobe was knocked off balance as the train passed and he fell off the bridge to the water below, killing him. The Baltimore police have opened an investigation into his death. Stobie was a beautiful soul with a lust for life and freedom - I really miss him. I wish he never went to the northeast us. Way too much rail traffic and a lot of yard dicks. Thanks for asking, shows that you cared. GF - Detroit

[@pluribustah1856]

"America is a lonely crock of s***" - Jack Kerouac from "Visions of Cody". This is so true. Some commenters seem to think that Jim is lost or something. In so many places in this country there is simply nothing there. "There's no point to this place," he sometimes says, and he probably did not know how right he is. I have traveled on Amtrak down where Stobe is here and that is the sense you get so often. No point. This is great stuff. So revelatory about the real America. Stobe was really on to something major. The American environment at night - the parked cars, the public squares at night, the emptiness of nearly every town he visits (or what I have seen so far). Miami Beach, from this perspective (to me the correct one) is peopled by ghosts, the crowded beach as empty as the swampy brush leading into Jacksonville.

[@henrydemonfreid1985]

the american environment at night indeed! still, quiet, dim dark-yellow lighting, shadowy bushes, the emptiness!

[@paulsccna2964]

It always seems like Jim is lost. In the sense that he is looking for something, and not knowing what it is. At first, I thought his videos were a joke. But then it dawned on me, that he is genuine. Jim sees the world from an angle that few take the time or slow down to see. Jim is a narrator and he tries to show the world his perspective. He is lost in the real world. Invisible. He is an aberration in the real world. His videos, show the absurdity of civilization. While Jim enjoys the most simple things, (cheap chicken and pizza and beer) and the joy of natural things around him. At the same time, Jim rejects the modern world, the sound of the highway, "is lame." But the blue sky and puffy white clouds, the bird free in flight, is held up as important enough for Jim to point out. Jim really wants to show us, that "every thing is not paved over." He invites us into his world. And he often, points out, there is no one else around. They are all locked up their multi-million dollar mansions. He often ponders that no one else is around. At the same complaining about being alone and not having anyone to enjoy the moment of a sunset or hiking into a state capitol. His deep angst, his loneliness of being a human is painful to watch. At the same instant, I find myself rooting for Jim, to make it, to keep going. Spoiler: Watch the last 5 videos ever posted by Jim. The videos get darker and darker. At one point, he hikes down the rail-road tracks that lead off into the pure darkness. Which still makes me wonder. Are Jim's videos deliberate? or just such a reflection of his mental state, that it is almost artistic as much a autobiographical? In response to the comment about Jim finding Jesus. I think it was the other way around. Also. If anyone misunderstands my comments, I am a huge fan of Stobe The Hobo. Despite his having die. RIP Stobe. Sometimes. I wake up in the middle of night and take pleasure in knowing that Jim is out there someplace in the darkness of the night. Note: This has been edited. Several times, for grammar, spelling and some topics. I took out the comments about the video were Jim walks past Rush Limbaugh house and talks about Trump.

[@steveshea6148]

Those who see clearly through the facade may feel lost knowing that most of what they see is largely a senseless charade.

[@Leavetheherd]

I see Jim as an artist who just didn’t see the point of the rat race. He shows us a view of America few get to see and enjoy, and the sad decline of small towns, with sometimes profound observations and splendid musical accompaniment. The world needs more Jim Stobe’s.

@TRAILER PARK MESSIAH Whether it's intentional or not, Jim shows the beauty and the downside of everyday America, not the bs fassad most try to portray. In his short life, he lived and saw more than a lot of people ever will. Just because he doesn't fit under society's labels of success doesn't mean he didn't accomplish something great that inspires thousands of people. You know this if you actually watch his videos and look through the comments.

There is better entertainment here than anything on mainstream networks, that's for sure. Great work JS, great commentary, excellent music. What are they waiting on?

Thanks for the comment. in reality, I think they don't want anything controversial on TV anywhere these days. theres a real mindset in place among program managers to not offend anyone, etc. I sought out a few networks and in the end nobody was interested.

They'll both put you in Jacksonville in the morning, around 8-10AM. I think the train YOU grabbed was 210.
