My dad told me how he and his buddy, back when they were in high school, would jump on to trains and ride them for a number of miles.
This was the mid-60's.
In the mid 2000's one night, my wife and I were watching a local newscast and they were doing a piece on people that jump trains.
Lo and behold, the focus of the story is my dads buddy from 40 years before. He was still hopping trains.
I called him to tell him and he wasn't surprised at all,
Wouldn't it be something if this evil creep used a train to drop into town and then hopped one again to get out?
Also, the perp who committted the murders in IA a few years back, does that town have tracks running through it?
If so, I can see why authorities may be looking at a connection.
