Default Fright Trains and Friends
When I was 15 yrs. old I ran away from home and went to Ft. Lauderdale FLA. ; I stayed there for 2 years working on construction crews as a helper.
At some point I wanted to go home back to Connecticut. A friend from Boston who was here also decided to go back to Boston so we hopped fright trains all the way to PA. and hitched the rest of the way. We parted in Ct
It was a ride of life !
I almost got killed in Georgia, I went to hop into a box car and hit some brush which dragged me almost under the wheel's, My friend grabbed my hand and pulled me up; (Close call).
