as of writing this in 1.2012 the documentary is still on PBS website, it is part of the series on the 1930's, probably available in many public libraries as well.
@Mondobeno that's not true there is still decent Hobos I am one an know a lot more tramps an some Squatters are drug addicts but not real hobos an I've been Riding 19 years I've met a lot of good ppl yes there are ppl that call themselves hobos but a real hobo doesn't trash up a camp or jungle they try to stay clean an always work when its available
@MondoBeno Totally! The "romance" angle is pure bullshit. And the kinds of cars to ride on has changed. And the destinations are not nearly as numerous what with all the abandoned lines. And the frequency of trains, too.
At age 17, i rode a Boxcar for 30 miles once in 1976, it was great! I wish i had rode a 1000 miles, but i just never did! "Please Post The Whole Documentary, if ya can"!! Thanks!

I hitched a ride one... only for experience, but I wouldn't do it again, it's not worth getting caught
