Living on a train for 20 years...

Funny how random things make unexpected connections.

I recently picked up a 10p (15c) fiction book by an unknown author, which mentioned an Italian man who lived on trains for ages, just moving about from station to station. Dunno if that was fact or fiction, so looked on line, and found this, instead:

I Iove random, and the internet ! (and 10p books!)

P.S. Just found this also, not advocating these dangers in any way, but rather cool images:

A great story and great photos. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering how many people this adds up to:

'It's been a huge change,' said Oscar Hernandez, who recently moved into Wagon 28, home to his girlfriend, his girlfriend's children, his mother-in-law, his girlfriend's siblings, their partners and children in Wagon 28.

Not the same thing, but I encounter plenty of unfortunate folks "living" on the "E" train (NYC Subway), on my daily commute......
