@@jacobwaltontrains What I would like to know is was his passing by natural causes, or did he check himself out? I ask this question specifically because upon hearing the initial news that he was missing, there was a statement made that he was released from the hospital disoriented and confused, which would suggest to me that the hospital is partially if not completely liable for his death.

I have been following MrJawTooth, now for about 5yrs. Now he's a good, live action kinda guy, everyone of you guys are about the trains,so stay safe, now that i know you are out there, I'm going to subscribe to your channel, i'll check on you if that's ok. Damn this thing with Shoestring, i keep thinking, this is a bad dream, that i can't wake up from, my wife and kids and grandkids know i love trains, my daughter is a daddy's girl, she has 4 kids 1 girl 3 boys, my daughter loves trains, my granddaughter she's 12, she loves trains, my 13yr old grandson loves to chase trains, they knew something was wrong, i just wasn't acting right still that he's been found, i just wrap my around the fact that he's gone, there was only one, Shoestring, my God, Shoestring is gone.

Mark Nichols was the embodiment of the Free American Spirit. The Spirit that made this country great. The spirit of a wander and wonderer, the spirit of an adventurer, explorer and that of a dreamer that always looked to horizon and pondered what new experience laid there. That came across in every video he posted. That called to us the viewers and fans from all over the country and indeed the world. Reminded us of what it truly meant to be well American in an age that seems to have forgotten that. From a simple man with a simple message. That being what it simply meant to Live Free and Live your Dream! Though Hobo Shoestring; Mark, has physically left us. None the less his words and voice will indeed echo loud and strong in EVERY loud CSX horn racing through and in front of us at every railroad crossing for as long as the trains keep rolling by. And we'll see Hobo Shoestring's spirit waving and smiling to us from the back of every Cadillac Grainer having evaded the rail yard bulls once again! Ride on Mark Nichlos! Ride On! " Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain!" Jack Kerouac

Gotta respect the passion for the railways he had. A young guy keeping the hobo way of life going. Back in the early 80's in a small Texas town of Texline the railroad was about 100 yards across from my great grandmother's house. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, several hobos would stop by for a hot meal. How they knew that she'd feed them is beyond me. I guess the word on the rails got around. Back in those days we use to count the number of hobos we'd see on trains. It was good to see Shoestring carrying on that tradition. He often reminded of those who used to stop by for a meal. I am told she would feed them all the time, but we were only there on holidays. No cell phones or youtube back then, but they all knew where to find a meal at my great grandmother's house.

A women say "the Husband has no name". Another ones say "the Husband has many names". Some of women "love the Husband in all his manifestations" like: neighbour, taxi driver, coworker... But, all of those prostitutes say "the Husband is the only". Then they even talk about "trinity of the Husband"... In the same way religious prostitutes try to hide their disgusting fornication with different gods. Here is the God's word spoken through Moses, Deuteronomy 11: 16-17: "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you." So, the God says there are other gods, but blind leaders of blind lead people into trap. "Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for. "HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah). Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers feel so good. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
