I used to take a lot of railroad photographs. I would quit taking pictures once the train passed. Then, to pass the time I started taking graffiti photographs.

I wish now I had taken more of the hobo markings on the cars.

This hobo (and another called raildog) seem to have the most common marks. This guy puts a different saying on every mark.

I think they call them “tags.” What was amazing was everywhere he went he’d show his tags from being there previously.
God only knows how many miles that man traveled.

Like No Colors said, everything he owned at one point fit in a backpack and five gallon bucket but he was free.

Some random hobo marks - I have 1000's of graffit photos but I wish I had made more of these hobo marks:
