Hobo
A hobo is a member of a distinctive sub-culture (hoboism) of homeless, traveling workers in the United States. It was most popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and is particularly associated with the railroads, as hobos have the reputation for freighthopping ? hitching free rides from place to place in the baggage cars of trains.
