Detailed explanation-1: -The term “hobo” is a loose one used to define everything from happy-go-lucky train hoppers to large homeless communities (and sometimes derogatorily so). But in its most popular definition, itinerant workers traveling the country by train use the word to describe themselves and their unique and intentional lifestyle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Freighthopping or trainhopping is the act of surreptitiously boarding and riding a freight railroad car, which is usually illegal.
Detailed explanation-3: -One trait hobos have in common is that they travel and work. They take pride in this attribute and often travel with the implements of their trade. In the 1880s, they began to distinguish themselves from “tramps” and “bums.” Hobos have a work ethic. They willingly work for pay or food.
