I watched an interesting documentary on Netflix a couple of days ago. Titled "The American Hobo" it was narrated by Ernest Borgnine and featured interviews with former hobos Merle Haggard and author James A. Michener.

Another interesting read is "The Road" by Jack London!

It's about his life as a hobo.

And although it is fiction, the 1st third of "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand is about the building of a rail line.
