It is January 16th, 1950.
The time, 6.28 p.m. A freight train just outside of a west Texas town gains speed and rolls through the gathering dusk.
Inside a gondola car, a hobo crouches in a corner as the brakeman comes toward him.
Now, listen, pal, just let me get to the next town.
I just,
just...
I said this is where you get off.
But we're moving.
Yeah, you get on where we was moving, you can get off.
Now, come on around just the top of your head.
Now, listen, don't, don't, don't do it.
Get on your feet like
this.
Let go.
You want to
get off, huh? Tony, leave me alone, please.
