I found this while researching the Tropicana trains I usta see on the NE Corridor back in the 70s.
It's a website dedicated to the subculture (as they define it) of hitchhiking, rail & road travel. Well, in this day and age and the things I've seen and read about- I have other things to do. That said, there's a thread on the site regarding riding the Tropicana Juice Train. This is the link to the article:

Feel free to comment.
