His work has appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times. Yes, I've watched a lot of Stobe's videos over the past year. His videos demonstrated a wealth of operational knowledge but there were also countless instances of extremely poor decision making and blatantly dangerous behavior, some of which he acknowledged and others which he ignored or glossed over. I could never quite make up my mind about Stobe. All of that stopped on October 18th, and since then no one has heard from him. Stobe the hobo Stobe the hobo. In early November last year, an Amtrak train operator found a body on the tracks outside Baltimore who authorities later identified as YouTube star James Stobe the Hobo Stobie. Please enjoy. What I think would have made for an interesting story is if another host could have interviewed Stobe instead. He broke things down and made everything sound so simple for the common YouTube watcher, Stobe knew so much about rail lines and I was absolutely blown away by how he was able to read the trains by identifying the company logos on the side and using a process of elimination on where they might be going. This memorial has been copied to your clipboard. This is one of those rare instances where not believing in a life after death has left me pretty sad.

Stobie was known for sharing his travel stories and love for hopping freight trains in videos posted online. I think a lot of the injuries and deaths result from people taking rides common sense would tell someone are unsafe, Hayes said. He was the beloved Son of Michael J Stobie (Thornton) and Mary Stobie Lechman (Wheat Ridge); Brother of Lily Ribeiro; Brother in law to Wagner Ribeiro ; Uncle to Noah and Bianca Ribeiro Longmont); Grandson of Marilyn Stobie (Ukiah, California); Nephew to Timothy Stobie (Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts) and Catherine Stobie (Fort Bragg, California); and a cherished friend to many (the World).

It sounded like he was about to cut back quite a bit on his train travel in the months before he died. A specific instance would be dismounting while fatigued and blitzed, wiping out and watching a wheel go two inches from my face., As his online obituaryreads, To some he will become a legend through his lifes work and to others he will be fondly remembered solely for his quirky yet lovable self as evidenced by his humor, fierce wit, compassion, dead-pan delivery, solicited and unsolicited commentary on just about anything, unbridled passion for unconventional living, mad piano skills, the enormous talent that he generously shared with all whose lives he intersected with, and countless other things. "Just last year Subaru released an ad that had a couple riding in a box car, and we actually wrote them to let them know that idolizing train hopping is very detrimental and they did end up adding a disclaimer and removing the ad," Snipe said. Watched a lot of his videos today. RIP stobe. But now with a few years separating her from her last ride, Hayes noted that while freight hopping is increasingly prevalent, a giant hunk of steel moving at high speeds is clearly very dangerous. Too bad he died so young and in what appears to have been a pretty horrific way to go. Press J to jump to the feed.
