people "riding the rails"

[totrainsbewed]

i was just wondering what everyones opinion is on anyone riding trains. and is it true that some conductors consider at least 1 hobo on a train goodluck. i have also read many stories of conductors letting travelors ride in the units and tell them what car to ride and when to swicth cars.

Most conductors I know consider hobos to be trespassers instead of good luck, and as such, have the police meet their train.
