Hoboing 60s
HOBOING-1960S-- These photos were taken when I was in high school and college. In high school we created a “railroad club” which was promptly removed from the list of officially sanctioned school clubs after we held out first slideshow, using some of these slides. Of course I was considerably younger and more foolish at that time, and these photos are merely offered here as historical documents. It seemed for example, that the yard bulls practically helped you into your boxcar in those days. Riding freight trains is not only illegal, but it can be dangerous for those who are not familiar with trains and their associated dangers. For those who want to learn more, check out my list of hobo books (annotated even!). Also, here are a some websites related to hoboing:
