Very sorry to hear it.

I loved the lure and lore of the lore of men that rode the rails from the 1860's "ho boys" to depression era Hobos that rode the rails. Strobe the hobo, to guys like Shoestring.

We used to hop a train, it always had to slow down at this one spot, and there was only a few miles til it stopped so it never picked up too much speed. If we wanted to go that way and it was that time of day.
