Attn Railroad Workers...?
-
Are there still hobo's riding the rails these days? What do the railroad cops do when they catch someone (assuming they are just riding, not vandalizing or steeling).

Answer:
Yes, still hobos, still homeless people... While working as a yard electrician for Union Pacific, i was detained for being a hobo. (maybe I should have dress better when working on the locomotives). After proving to the railroad cop that I actually worked there, I asked what would have happened if I couldn't. The officer said he would have confiscated the UP radio i had and would have escorted me off of their property. Anything else was pointless with the homeless. NO money to pay fines and no space in jails to keep them. Biggest thing I seen the homeless people doing with the trains was getting into the locomotives and stealing the fusees (flares), they make great fire starters to keep warm.

Yes, we do see hobos. They are seasonal. Once we see them we have to report it. The local police get involved at that point.

Some folks riding the rails are pretty sketchy folks, often on the lam. The true hobos are there, but they are far and few between. Others are just trying to get from one place to another and are pretty benign. I know Union Pacific has a "0 tolerance" policy with regard to trespassing, vandal or not. If caught, you will be arrested. If arrested, you will be prosecuted. This is one thing that the UP does right.

Yes there are still Hobos riding the rail. Im in a remote yard and I was told if I see one to call the local police. If you do that they are arrested for trespassing on railroad property. I see on average 2-4 a month, more in the summer. I have never called the police as every one Ive met was very respectful and fun to talk to. Wanna hear a good story talk to a hobo.....
