I had a very enjoyable conversation in my first encounter with a hobo ( in Rock Hill, South Carolina ) . He was an affable man that was going in the wrong direction- he had been heading southbound but was wanting to go to Virginia. Being the helpful man that I am I pointed him in the right direction and recommended he ride a covered hopper ( one end has ample room for a person to lay comfortably- I have seen several of them with old mattresses left in them ). I never could be the hard-*** that the NS wanted its conductors to be. But I'm not a careless man either- I always packed a .38 snubbie when I was on duty. Most of the guys I worked with packed when on duty. If the NS had known this we'd all been fired. I can truthfully say I've never had a problem with hoboes. Let's talk about trainmasters sometime. All railroaders have good trainmaster stories to tell. Talk about lowlifes!
