howdy BD and the rest of y'all! hey, this stuff is great, brings back lots of memories, some weirder than others... BD ma man, just wondering if you ever came across a paperbound tome entitled Hopping Freight Trains in America", by Duffy Littlejohn (Sand River Press, 1993). i ran into duff in paris when he was working on the book and i was trying to write and sleeping under bridges. it's full of useful info for would-be hoppers, i'm sure some of it is dated but not a lot. i especially liked your home for the holidays video.
Hey Highball! Glad to hear you've enjoyed the freight train stuff on here and that it's brought back some memories. Unfortunately I've never heard of that book but it sounds like it would be pretty interesting to read.
Which video is my Home for the Holidays one? Haha. Did you get me confused with someone else? ;)
