Rulebreakers: Veteran on the tracks
The handbook for train hopping American hobo culture and the man behind the guide.
There is a secret map passed down from hobo to hobo. You can鈥檛 buy it in stores or download it online but if you鈥檙e lucky enough to get a copy you can travel anywhere in America by freight train. They call it The Crew Change Guide and it is a sacred document for those who still ride in boxcars like the hobos looking for work in the great depression. This state by state guide has grown from one man鈥檚 obsession into a network of everything you need to get from Aliceville, Alabama to Wendover, Wyoming - all for 鈥渓ow or no dollars鈥.
