Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 109: For several decades, as many as six passenger trains a day going each way stopped at Auburn. A lot of students, however, preferred to hop a freight and save the fare, particularly on football trips. ... The advent of the automobile eventually caused the demise of train hoboing at Auburn.
