Great Movie!!! Borgnine was a railroad guard, a mean Sunofa.
Marvin was bound to ride Shack’s (Borgnine’s) train, and become “Emporer”.
One of Marvin’s best (says a lot) and Borgnine was always good.

Raton used to be a major RR town, when I was a kid, hobos were common around town - waved to many of them as they passed not far from my grandmother's place.

A lady sells pies out of a shack in her front yard. She would put several pies inside with a honor jar. $20 bucks a pie.

I stopped a couple weeks ago to see what her baking skills looked like.

No pies ! Just a handwritten note that said “Due to people stealing my pies without paying. “Please come to my house for a pie”

My dad did that for real for a couple years during the depression. He was 1 of many thousands of men riding the rails, going anywhere that there were rumors of work to be had. They weren't hobos, though. A hobo isn't looking for work. He's just a bum. These men wanted work. Dad ended his wanderings as a farm hand in Idaho where he met my mother, then joined the navy a few months before Pearl Harbor.

I used to ride the freight trains. Here I am at 70 mph on a Canada Pacific fast freight near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. There were no open box cars so we were riding in the third engine. The engineers were in the first engine.

The open box car is much preferable, too noisy riding on that big engine.

I had a good friend who chose that lifestyle, hitchhiked, hop trains, etc, he died, last yr, 58, it was a hard life.
Posted By: joken2 Re: Movies about HOBOS? - 05/10/21

For a short while back in the late '90s I worked with about three or four train hopper "hobo" buddies. Their ages ranged from late 20s to early 40s. They said they had to stop because security was too intense over the Hispanic serial killer, Angel Maturino Reséndiz, who traveled around the country via hopping on trains and killing people.

They all pretty much lived to get wasted by whatever means was available and riding the rails. Said they worked whenever they needed some cash money.

Once the serial killer was caught they went right back to riding the rails and getting high.

They'd come back home from time to time but just couldn't stand staying in one place for very long.

One of his characters, Freddie the Freeloader, was a bum but Skelton himself wasn't. He was a hard worker. HIs father died when he was quite young. He had to quit school and worked at many jobs. He got turned toward entertainment when he was young. He got some breaks by meeting the right people by accident.

Here I am going for a stroll at 60 mph on a boxcar in central Tennessee, April 1977.

I tell you guys, there is nothing like it, to be sitting in the open door of a boxcar in the middle of Kansas at midnight, train doing 70 mph, your legs swaying in the breeze, your buddy handing you a pint of Jack Daniels, looking out at the wheat fields shining in the moonlight, the stars shining brightly in the big sky, the clackety clack as the steel wheels roll over the rails.

It is a wonderful thing to do.

Emperor Of The North... Not North Pole
Another vote for Emperor of the North (Pole), I believe it's been released under both names. My father took me to see it when it first came out, I'm sure he didn't tell Mom what it was about. He's 88 and has a great memory, remembers the hobos coming by looking for food before WW2.

It was originally called Emperor of the North Pole but the name was changed to avoid confusion with some thinking it might be a holiday movie.

Tater 74 is correct ,.It was released under both titles.... ,Emperor of the North Pole is a 1973 American action adventure film directed by Robert Aldrich, starring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, and Keith Carradine. It was later re-released on home media (and is more widely known) under the shorter title Emperor of the North, ostensibly chosen by studio executives to avoid being mistaken for a heartwarming holiday story. This original title is a homage to the historic joke among Great Depression-era hobos that the world's best hobo was "Emperor of the North Pole", a way of poking fun at their own desperate situation, implying that somebody ruling over the North Pole would reign over nothing but a vast, barren, cold, empty, and stark wasteland.
