Thought provoking, eye opening and leaves more than a few morsels to chew on. Presentation is done in a way that (so far) seems thoroughly thought out as we the listener follow along on the journalistic river. Some concerns inspiring hobos are same ponderings many of me and my family and friends brought up in a less consequential way when we were teens too. I can only imagine many teens -and adults- ponder these same persistent questions of humanity.

An excellent experience. completely opened my eyes to the rail. soo intriguing, for real
Description
When journalist Danelle Morton’s daughter skips town to hop trains, she follows her into the train yard, and across America. Join Danelle as she travels the country to understand what drew her daughter into the hidden world of the railroads. Her guides are the rail cops, train engineers, and hobos she meets along the way, each of them with their own extraordinary tales of the beauty and brutality of the rails.
A mother/daughter story unfolds across a landscape of vast open spaces and filthy backstreets, as Morton learns how railroads shaped the modern world - from creating our time zones and QR codes, to the first lobbyists and unions.
The story of the rails is the story of America, and through 10 episodes, Morton reckons with our history, and her family history, as she tries what she can to bring her daughter home.
