I would be most of you are familiar with this great movie but just in case...

If you have not seen it, do yourself a favor and get it.

I wonder how many "Emperor's" rode the P&WV during the depression?

The movie is loosely based on a real hobo named Leon Ray Livingston, AKA A No. 1, and Jack London's "The Road"

Classic Movie!

I have been reading a great book about depression era wayfarers titled "Riding The Rails"

This movie brings it all to life!
