hobo

Hey, anyone like Jug bands, music from the 1900's-1930's and the folk that was sang by hobo's during that time? I'm really into all of it and even bought a washboard and am trying to learn to play. Jug bands are pretty awesome! Anyway I just thought Id share some cool music and see if anyone...

It got me into wanting to hop trains, but the only thing I've ever done is hitch, I'd like to know if someone else has read it or not and what they think of this book.

I was sick all day so I hadn't been eating much. With the evening hours rushing in at a time-crushing pace, I went up the road to the humble McDonalds to get some bland, unhealthy "food" that is likely only going to make me worse. Anyway, there I was. I was waiting to receive one of those...

So, we've all seen this one before. A kid at the age of nineteen, aspiring to never work an hour in his life, never spend a penny on anything, and live in rent-free establishments. Stuck in the frozen north, where this lifestyle would surely kill those unprepared and with a lack of knowledge on...

The Hobo Film Festival hits Seattle next Monday (June 1st), if you're in the area. It'll be $8 to get in, 7 pm at Central Cinema, 1411 21st ave. You know, if you want to watch movies about what you're probably already doing. Maybe people will fawn over you for being an actual hobo and give you...

Pretty much, every Bo that rides has his own view about what it takes to be a hobo. Generally if you can't survive in the regular everyday life of the common citizen and you really don't care for a house, car, phone or back yard, you can move into this world and survive just the same with your...

My 20 year aniversary gift being a professional hobo......lol! Callison: Riding the rails | argusleader.com | Argus Leader

Hello all, meesah back home at the "homebase" in Sioux Falls! I rode down to Beaumont, Texas and then took "KCS" back up to DeQuincy, Louisiana where I met up with "TravelingFisher" from "StP" here. We rode together for about 10 days. We rode back up to KCMO and almost to North Platte before we...

These are two MRL locomotive units. Riding into Laurel, Montana, last winter was cold and lonely. I had ridden in on a pusher locomotive unit on a coal train and got off at rail mile-marker 11 on Montana Rail Link property just east of town. (MRL is short for Montana Rail Link). I walked to an...

I had just hopped a freight train to Bangor, Maine, from the Framingham Conrail Railroad yards near Boston, Massachusetts. I was tired, thirsty and hungry! I bailed off my boxcar and walked to the fisherman's docks along the Penobscot River. I started asking various boaters in the small...

I love waking in the morning, to the train horns blow, sitting by my campfire with hot coffee, nowhere in particular to go. Hopping into a boxcar in the cold of winter, when Santa Clause says ho, ho, ho. riding in the warm rear unit, when outside lies three feet of snow. When I first...

I had just ridden into Kansas City, Missouri, this early, warmer than normal December morning, and had made camp under the "I-435 Loop" overpass that traverses over the Union Pacific train tracks about six miles east of downtown. The temps were actually in the mid-50's, so I chose not to build...

Hahaha I got a kick out of this place when I was up north. Its train and hobo themed. It has a golf course that teaches you hobo symbols. And then of course the hobo jungle playground has to have a sign warning kids to watch out for and I quote " the bull (railroad police) or face eviction)...

Gerry Anderson recalls the days of the hoboes - railroad tramps and itinerant workers who "jumped the boxcars" and rode the freight trains around America. During the 1930's and 1940's thousands of people chose the hobo life, traveling with no possessions beyond a bed-roll and a rucksack...
