https://open.spotify.com/episode/1AlJ669UUha5SJ1xaZizrE
In this premier episode, I recount my years-long journey to find Dan'L Boone - an infamous and elusive figure once known as the ruthless leader of the Freight Train Riders of America, the deadliest tramp gang to ever ride the rails. After following whispers and boxcar rumors across the country, I finally found him. What he revealed about his disappearance from the rail scene - and the real story behind the FTRA - changes everything.
Featuring two Kings of the Hobo underworld, Dante Fucwha and Frog, this episode uncovers untold stories and dives deep into the forgotten history of America's rail - riding underworld. Dan'L Boone shares his thoughts on the rails for the first time.
Dan'L Boone himself gave this podcast its name.
