Seventy years ago when I was a kid our house was across the street from the railroad track, the Depot was just down the road and there was a lot of riders back then. The Hobos would walk across the street and ask my grandpa if he had any work and he let them mow the lawn with one of those reel hand push mowers and my mother would give them a meal and a cup of coffee and a lunch to go. "The good old days."

I hopped on an eastbound Santa Fe train in Las Vegas, NV back in 2001 & ended up stuck in a tiny town of Modena, Utah for 4 days train and all (think the crew went on holiday for Labor Day weekend). I ended up hitchhiking to Cedar City finding day labor to get a bus ticket to Omaha. Luckily the general store/post office/gas station & the only phone in Modena was owned by an FLDS family which they provided me w/some water & food while trying to wait for the train to get moving again. A couple of other hobos that were riding in a grain car 8 cars down from me left before I did hitchhiking to Cedar City. I eventually met up w/one guy at the rescue mission when I got there. Safe travels Shoestring 🍻

Good afternoon Shoestring! Those cars you saw with those "spines:" they are known in the trucking industry as IM Chassis. They are most likely being transferred from one hub or port to another. Transporting that many of them on a train is more efficient than pulling them with trucks, and much safer. Believe it or not, IM chassis are so lightweight they could potentially skid, especially during bad weather. Some are hauled on the road stacked, but again, easier and more efficient to haul that number on trains.

So I opened KZfaq and remained as still as a statue after reading the most terrible news. I cried. Yes, I cried like a baby; I cried because I lost a friend; I cried because a good man who was able to grasp the essence of life and show it to us, ordinary people, died. Thank you Mark, thank you from the bottom of my heart in which you will remain forever. God bless you!|

SOMEONE THATS RODE SINCE 1973 OFF & ON AND WHO RIDES EVERY SUMMER AT 66 YEARS OLD. RIDING FREIGHT WITHOUT SAFETY KNOWLEDGE IS VERY DANGEROUS. IVE SAW A PERSON FALL OFF A GRAINER AND FALL BY COUPLING UNDER WHEELS. HE WAS HOLDING LEASE OF HIS DOG AND DRAGGED HIM TO DEATH AS WELL. I HAD TO REPORT IT AND IDENTIFY HIS BODY AND CLOTHES WHAT WAS LEFT OF HIM. I SPENT 3 MONTHS IN JAIL AND IF I EVER GET CAUGHT ON CSX PROPERTY I COULD GET LONG TIME IN JAIL. TO MAKE MY POINT- THEY LIFTED THE SHEET ON RIGHT SIDE AND SHOWED ME WHAT WAS LEFT OF HIS ARM AND BLOODY SHIRT. THEIR WAS BAGS WERE HIS FEET WERE , WHICH I FIGURED WAS BODY PARTS. BUT WAS COVERED PARTIALY WITH SHEET. ONE SIMPLE MIISTAKE CAN KILL YOU ON A TRAIN. ONE... I UNDERSTAND THE DESIRE TO RIDE. IF YOU MUST, YOU SHOULD FIND A EXPERIECED RIDER. AND THATS NOT EVEN SAFE. THE GUY THAT DIED HAD YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. IVE WARNED YOU. I COULD TELL YOU A STORY HOW I ALMOST DIED ON MY VERY FIRST RIDE.. ==DRIFTER==

The crop at 45;39 is canola, called rapeseed in Europe. Crushed to make canola cooking oil, leftover cake from the crusher used for livestock feed. Looks like broccoli when its first planted and comes up, leafy and green, but then it grows up into the spindly plants and flowers out solid yellow with small blossoms, then sets seed in those slender pods... small hard reddish/purplish/black seed. Either direct combined or windrowed and combined (older method). Hauled to an elevator and handled like any other grain.

Hey Hobo Shoestring, on Sunday I went to watch some trains up in Cresson and had my first interaction with a railroad bull. But he didn't give me a hard time about nothing he just politely told me that I couldn't stand where I was

Hobo Shoestring mentioned Galveston Island, my hometown. Cool. I wish I was in Galveston right now, too. RIP Hobo Shoestring. May a good angel have been there with you at your demise.

Love the second half of video. My son died on his motorcycle just south of the Tussle bridge in 2015.

Small world. My oldest sister briefly dated Steve Goodman right around the time he wrote the city of New Orleans.
