I seem to have lost a few sentences in that post. The second paragraph should start with: So I hauled my frame up to the library on the other side of the house and got out Norm Cohen's Long Steel Rail etc.

At the end, I meant to add: I think I'll stick with the hobos' version as it comes to us from Art and his friend Paul Durst, and as it was in Milburn's 1930 Hornbook. "The 'boes' accommodation" makes good sense to me.
