I used to be a hobo when i was 18-19. I live in america and i've ridden the UP highline back and forth between Massachusetts and Washington, CSX down the east coast and BNSF from florida to california and back. And several independent companies between states that i don't really remember. I was drunk pretty much the whole year and i did it a couple weeks after i graduated hi-school. I was reading this AMA waiting for a question about Hobos. I can offer proof when i get to a real computer and not mobile if anyone wants it, but what i want to know is if CP units have hot plates in them. We've tried to heat up cans of mac and cheese and stuff on the heaters of units we've stowed away on but that barely works. So hot plates would be awesome.

Damn microwaves? That's awesome. And yeah when i would tell people i rode trains or if they saw me somewhere dirty with a back pack they would look incredibly surprised. I do have some stories, and have accidently given some conductors a scare. I almost got shot by an engineer once in Alabama. I did tag cars i wrote TomSoyer. And noone really uses hobo code anymore or speaks the language but there i do know a few symbols. And there's alot of slang for the names of certain rideable train cars. And other things not related to trains. For example pig in a bucket would be a trailer car in a 50ft well. Or someone that wasnt homeless would be a housey. Im 20 now. Ive thought of doing an AMA, but for some reason i just never did.
