hobos

Have you guys ever caught hoppers riding your trains?

Here in Minnesota I watched a hobo run out of a small yard and get on a pggiyback flat toting his guitar.

Then I was recently watching a train video on Southern Pacific and a hobo went by, standing up on a flat. Hilarious because the commentator didn't even mention it, whereas everything else was commented on.

There's a thread on this on another board.

A couple of months ago we got on our train and there were some in the second unit. They seemed nice and were pretty clean so we let em' ride.
