Although mentioned a couple times here and there in passing, I don't think there has ever been a thread about James Stobie. In an ABC News story from 2000, the president of the National Hobo Association put the figure at 20-30, allowing that another 2,000 might ride part-time or for recreation..

If this is real it sucks because non-hipster and non-tweeker train hoppers are kind of a rarity these days.. His observations on conformity were spot on as a fellow non-trendy subversive. .FIYolDqalszTnjjNfThfT{max-width:256px;white-space:normal;text-align:center} What the hell happened?!

Stobie died earlier this month while train-hopping, and though it's unclear exactly what occurred, his fans on this Facebook memorial page are distraught at his death. Maybe not so much after watching his videos and reading this morning that he was drug to death by a Amtrak.

"Hopping trains gives you this really fierce sense of independence," she said. Leave a memory or share a photo or video below to show your support. Apparently his backpack may may have tangled with an Amtrak train and dragged him to his death. Apparently not quite quick enough his backpack got picked by the train and dragged him a considerable distance before his body (at this point) became disengaged from the train.

James William Stobie gained considerable notoriety during his all too short life of thirty-three years as a filmmaker who self-produced documentary styled videos portraying life as a rail riding traveler-- AKA 'Stobe the Hobo." His accomplishments were many, but his time here on earth encompassed so much more than that. Railroad trespassing is an outsized problem for rail companies and the FRA, since all train tracks are considered private property but remain easily accessible. I can't stop watching his videos, not gonna lie when I first started watching his videos I thought he was kinda brain dead and retarded. Is there any source? Stobe had incredible amounts of knowledge about the in's and outs of trains and train yards and procedures. Freight trains wait on railroad tracks with the city skyline in the distance on May 15, 2015 in New Orleans. Your entry has exceeded the maximum character limit.

Stobe was a very experienced and skillful trainhopper. Rest in peace. Except that Stobie, aka Stobe the Hobo, made YouTube videos about his experiences, hopping trains to move around the country for the pure fun of it. Try again later. Hobo Stobe in my movie was an alcoholic. Stobe the Hobo's videos alternated between vaguely encouraging and actively disparaging the lost art of freight hopping.
