This hobo goes by the nickname "Shoestring". He says he was once diagnosed as mildly autistic and now rides the rails as it gives him focus. He seems honest and legit. He mentions a group of train riders called "dirty kids" who take pride in being filthy. they ride trains as a kind of rebellion. I've seen those kids and they look totally shitty and disrespectful. I'd give money to a real hobo, but I'd call the cops on the dirty kids.
