My dad was a great admirer of Raymond Chandler and modeled his (unpublished) detective novel in a Chandleresque style. My freight hopping experiments were in the late 60's and quite real. I was trying to recall whether I was packing heat at the time. I don't think I wanted to risk losing one of my more valuable pieces so I think I was just carrying my old .22 zip gun as a throw-away. I was certainly carrying a switchblade. A freight train can be a dangerous place.
