Description

This story results from a longtime personal fascination with the hobo culture as a lifestyle choice, and fits within a general genre or catalog within my 42-year print media career's focus on under-served and unrecognized individuals who have such incredible stories to tell.

For geographical reference, this story focuses on the Philadelphia Main Line. The western suburbs of Philadelphia and the Main Line, in particular, is entirely a wealthy region that's historically-rooted in railroad tradition, particularly the Pennsylvania Railroad tradition.
