Fuck Yeah, Freight Trains! “Along the iron veins that traverse the frame of our country, beat and flow the fiery pulses of its exertion, hotter and faster every hour. All vitality is concentrated through those throbbing arteries into the central cities; the country is passed over like a green sea by narrow bridges, and we are thrown back in continually closer crowds on the city gates.” - John Ruskin This blog highlights the great history of trains, railways and the hobos that thrive on them. All pictures, links and quotes posted will be credited to their rightful owners and in no way do I intend to steal, only to showcase the great works that I find that deserve to be known. This blog will include pictures and stories of people that ride illegally on freight trains. This practice is highly dangerous and not recommended.
