Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 19:12:19 -0400 From: James Karvonen Subject: Song of the Lonesome Steel Rails -19. 19. With his runsack on his back and carrying his rolled up blanket roll, Quack was the first one to jump out of the boxcar. Bobby climbed out of the boxcar, behind him, then followed Quacks lead as he slowly started walking between the long lines of freight cars that were sitting dormant on both sides of them. Somewhere in the freight yard they could hear the loud chuffing of switchers moving cuts of freight cars around and they could see smoke belching into the air. "In these railroad yards you have to be careful. Not only do you have to watch out for moving freight cars, but you have to be careful about the railroad bulls who would be patrolling around the railroad yard looking afor hobos like us go rough up and arrest." Quack pointed out. He adjusted his ransack on his back so it would be a little more comfortable. "Why would they do something like that?" Bobby asked inquisitively. "Because, they think we're out to steal something from one of the box cars, which I'm sure happens sometimes, but I'm no thief." Quack quickly emphasized. "I didn't say you were." Bobby replied, becoming a little defensive. "Hey, everything will be okay," Quack said reassuringly. They walked between the two cuts of freight cars finally coming to a gap. Quack looked around first for any railroad bulls or employees that might be walking around nearby. He didn't see anyone so he quickly nodded his head, then said "Let's go." They both crossed two more tracks. They had two tracks to go before reaching the service road that ran parallel to the railroad yard. But the two tracks that they had to cross were occupied by long strings of freight cars. This time instead of looking for a gap, Quack quickly ducked under a boxcar crossing the track to get to the other side. Bobby followed, and now they only had one track to go. Luckily for them, they still hadn't seen anyone that might pose a problem for them. They were almost out of the freight yard. Once out of the freight yard they would still have three more railroad tracks to go, but those three tracks belonged to the high speed mainline of the Richmond, Fredricksburg and Potomac railroad that ran between Washington D.C. and Richmond Virginia. That railroad line was a very busy so both boys knew that they would have to be careful when they crossed those tracks. "You know, I've been thinking about that money that I told you bout." "What about that money?" Quack asked. "My family really needs that money more then I do, so when we get to Alexandria, I'm going to send just about all of that money home." Bobby decided. Ever since he had that money he had been worrying about." "Since its your money, you can do whatever you want to do with it." Quack said. Bobby could tell he was disappointed. He felt sure that that disappointment would pass. "Don't worry, I'll keep enough of that money for us to get by on, but since my father left, my mother has been struggling to make ends meet. And its probably even rougher for them now because I'm not there with them to work and help pay for some of the bills and food." "I understand. If I had a family I probably would do the same thing." "You don't have a family?" Bobby asked. "I don't have a family that I know about. You see Little Chooch, I grew up in a orphanage in Chicago. When I turned sixteen they turned me out. I had no place to go, no nothing so that's when I took riding the rails." "Geez Quack, I'm sorry to hear that." "But I've survived, that's one thing I can do. Anyway, let's see if we can get the hell out of this freight yard in one piece. You ready to do some more crawling. It looks like this last cut of freight cars isn't going to go anywhere for now." "I'm ready whenever your ready. Bobby chirped. "RLet's do it then!" With that having been said, Quack carrying his blanket roll and ransack, Quack quickly dropped down onto his knees. He scurried underneath the freight car crossing the railroad track on his that the freight car was on, on his hands and knees. When he made it to the other side, Quack stood back up. Now it was just a matter of crossing the three track mainline of the RF&P to reach the service road. "Come on Little Chooch, I'm waiting for you." Quack shouted. Bobby dropped down on his hands and knees then quickly scurried under the boxcar crawling over the railroad ties, dirt,ballast and rails. He finally made it to the other side of the boxcar where Quack helped him up so that he could get onto his feet. Bobby brushed himself off. "That wasn't so bad, at least the freight cars didn't move any when we were underneath them." Bobby said. "You're right about that." Quack beamed. He checked both directions up and down the railroad tracks for any approaching trains. Seeing that the coast was clear, Quack gave Bobby the nod. They went on ahead and crossed the three track mainline finally reaching the gravel service road on the other side of the tracks. They were out of the busy Potomac railroad yard and for now.were safe from any harrassment from railroad bulls or employees. About a half mile down the railroad tracks south of them they could see Alexandria Union Station. The city of Alexandria, Virginia was only a hop skip and jump away. Slowly they started walking south along the railroad tracks. As they walked together they talked. "We're going to make a day out of today. The first thing we're going to do is eat us a good hot meal. I sure am hungry. Don't worry, Quack, I'll pay for it.so you can save what money you have." Bobby said. His stomach had been rumbling all night. "Well that's nice of you. I can sure use a hot meal. Can't remember the last time I had a good meal." Quack beamed. "After we eat, we're going to need to find us a Hotel. Once we get checked into our room, we can clean ourselves up. I'm covered with cinders. I have cinders in my hair, down my back. I have cinders all over my body." "That's what happens when you ride the rails for any length of time." Quack pointed out. "Anyway, I'm also going to have to buy some clothes. The clothes that I have on right now are the only clothes I have. Not only that but I'm going need to buy a backpack, canteen, a sleeping bag, a mess kit, and of course some food for when we hit the rails tomorrow." "Sounds like you have a full day ahead of you." "I do. Then maybe after that we can relax a little." "I would love to see a movie. I hadn't seen a good movie since I don't know when." Quack hinted. "I've never even seen a movie. Growing up in Middletown, my family just couldn't afford it." Bobby frowned. "There's always that first time. Besides, I think you would really enjoy seeing a movie. It will take your mind off of things. Who knows, we may never have the opportunity to see a movie again after today." "After we get everything else done, a movie sounds like a great idea."Bobby decided. "All right!" Quack smiled. It took about twenty minutes for the two boys to reach the Alexandria Union Station. Alexandria was a sprawling Southern City on the banks of the Potomac River seven miles south of Washington D.C..The city was highlighted by the George Washington Masonic National Memorial that loomed over the city.to the south. Once the two boys reached the station they walked up the stairs to Sunset Drive then walked about two blocks to where the city actually began. Trolley cars, motorized vehicles and even an occasional horsedrawn wagon rattled by them on the cobblestone street that they were walking along. The first place they came too was a small beanery They wasted no time going into beanery where sitting down together at a booth they ordered breakfast since it was only 10:00 in the morning. The breakfast Bobby ordered was griddle cakes with maple syrup, eggs, bacon and a dish that Bobby had never had before grits, since having grown up in New York he was considered a Yankee. That meal was washed down with orange juice and milk. Quack ordered the same thing that Bobby ordered. After they ate breakfast they hit the streets again. Not that far away from the beanery on the outskirts of the city near the railway station was the Robert E. Lee Hotel. Since the Hotel was in close proximity to the railroad and the city, decided to check into that Hotel. At the Checkout booth they were given a key to a room on the fifth floor that included a large king size bed, a bathroom with a shower cubicle and small parlor. The room was one of the more expensive rooms that the Hotel had to offer, but Bobby could afford it. After they had settled into the Hotel room they left the Hotel and went back into the city. It didn't take them long to find a movie palace. The 12:00 early matinee was about to start so Bobby went ahead and purchased two movie tickets, one for himself and one for Quack.This would be a first for Bobby and he couldn't wait to see what watching a movie in a theater was all about. The name of the double feature that they would be watching was the movie, Frankenstein with Boris Karloff, and Dracula two of the most popular movies that were released just last year in 1931. Even before the movies were shown the audience was treated to a series of cartoons that included, Farmer Alphalfa, Popeye the sailor man with Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse, just to name a few. The cartoons were followed by a Western Series titled 'The Painted Desert. Starring Bill Boyd. That series was followed by a newsreel that included all the updated news from around the world. It was an afternoon well worth the money that Bobby had spent. They didn't leave the movie palace until 4:00. On their way back to the Hotel they stopped at an Army-Navy store where Bobby purchased everything that he needed for when they started riding the rails again. He brought a backpack, blanket roll, along with two extra sets of clothes, a mess kit and canteen. Leaving the Army-Navy store the two boys stopped at a grocery store to buy a little more food that they would need when they started riding the rails again. They made one last stop, and that was at a post office where Bobby purchased an envelope and the stamp that he planned to send out that night along with the money to his mother in Middletown, N.Y. With the shopping all done, on their way back to the Hotel stopped at the Beanery where they ate their dinner. They finally reached the Hotel around 7:00 that evening where they were now ready to settle in for the night. "I'm ready to take a good hot shower. Its been a while since I last bathed." Quack said. "I'm need to take a shower also, to get all these cinders out of my hair and off my body. But before I take that shower I want to write a letter first to my mother and send her the money." With that having been said, Bobby went down to the check in desk and got some blank sheets of paper from them check in counter. Back into the hotel room, Bobby sat down at the desk and started writing. Dear Mother, I'm in Alexandria Virginia riding the rails with someone so I am not doing it on my own. Its good to have a traveling companion. I feel much safer now. I'm not sure when I'll reach California and see dad, but I'll keep letting you know my progress. Please don't worry about me because I'll be okay. I am sending you $100.00. because I know that you need the money more then I do for the kids. Don't even ask where I got this money from and do worry about it. If I find work along the railroad before I reach California, I will send you even more money. Give my brother and sister a kiss from me. All my Love, Bobby When Bobby finished the letter, he slipped it into the envelope along with ten, ten dollar bills, then sealed it. "I'll be right back." He told Quack. Bobby once again headed downstairs to the Hotel lobby to put the letter into the mail box. Even though deep down inside he really didn't want to part with the money, he knew that his family who were barely surviving needed the money more then he did. He now felt a whole lot better doing what he just did. Back in the Hotel room, Bobby told Quack, "I think I'm going to go on ahead and take me a shower." He really needed one, especially with all the cinders still in his hair. "I'm going to take one also after you finish, unless."Quack said "Unless what?" Bobby asked inquisitively. "Unless you want to take a shower together." Quack hinted. "That way I can wash your back and you can wash my back. There is plenty of room in the shower cubicle to do that." For the first time since being with Quack, Bobby felt a little uneasy being around him. "We can also save on hot water doing that. I've slept in Hotels before where if you take a shower you run out of hot water really fast, then had to wait a while before the hot water builds up again." It wasn't as if Bobby had never taken a shower with other boys before. He had, numerous times. At Pine Island the only shower they had were community showers. Instead of taking a shower with just one person, he might be in the community shower taking a shower with eight other boys. And it was true about what Quack said about running out of hot water. At Pine Island running out of hot water after about a half hour or so was an everyday occurence. That happened all the time. "Alright.Might as well" Bobby decided. Quacks smile stretched from ear to ear. Both boys headed into the bathroom. Quack was the first one who started taking off his clothes. "I'll be glad to put on some clean clothes once I bathed. I can't remember the last time I took a good hot shower but it had been a while." He unbuttoned his plaid shirt then took it off. He was wearing a tank top T-shirt underneath the plaid shirt that he had been wearing. He quickly pulled off his T-shirt, baring himself to the waist. Bobby could not help but to admire Quacks strong well built body. For. 17 year old, Quack was muscular with a full chest, bulging pecs and a washboard stomach centered by an outie belly button. His torso was nicely tanned from working outside bare chested beneath the sun on the docks back in New York City. Noticing Bobby looking over at him, as he undressed, Quack smiled. "I'm nicely cut, aren't I?" Quack said, flexing to show Bobby his bulging biceps and triceps. "Uh huh."Bobby replied. "Working on the Hudson River docks isn't an easy job, but that job can build up your muscles. I never was like this before." Quack explained. He leaned over, reached down and pulled off his shoes. Standing back up Quack sucked in his stomach then unfastened his pants so that he could pull them down over his muscular legs. Pulling his pants off Quack stood there in only his white boxer shorts. For whatever reason, watching Quack undress caused Bobby to suddenly become aroused. Beneath his pants his penis had slowly began to lengthen. Within seconds he had become completely erect.But Bobby wasn't the only one erect. When Quack finally pulled off his boxer shorts, Bobby could clearly see that Quack had become erect also. Is thick uncut penis angled upwards at least 7"inches in veiny length. The foreskin had pulled back a little revealing a large bulbous moist pinkish glans. In Bobbys eyes Quacks erection was huge. It looked longer and thicker then Andrew, the guard back at Pine Island who had molested him was. He had a tangled bush of thick dark brown pubic hair curling around at the very root of his lengthy erection. "Looking over at him, Quack asked, "Aren't you going to get undressed Little Chooch?" Quacks question brought Bobby back to reality. "Oh yeah." He replied. He went on ahead and started undressing. Now it was Quacks turn to watch. Bobby could clearly see that Quacks eyes were focused on him. He pulled off his shirt first baring himself to the waist. Kicking off his shoes he unfastened them, then pulled down his pants stepping out of them. His slender erection snapped into view. "Well, I see. It looks like I'm not the only one who has a stiffy." Quack chuckled. Bobby's face turned two shades of red from embarrassment. "Hey, its okay Little Chooch, we're both males." Quack quickly pointed out. He headed into the bathroom. Bobby followed. Once in the bathroom Quack walked into the large shower cubicle so that he could turn on the water. The water blasted out from the showerhead all over Quack causing him to jump. "Damn that's cold!" He shouted, quickly adjusting the temperature of the water. Before long he had the water temperature to his liking. Bobby could not help but to laugh after watching Quacks antics. "There." He murmered. He then looked over at Bobby who was laughing. "You think that was funny, don't you?" "Uh huh." Bobby replied. "Well, just you wait." Quack said, surpressing his own grin. Before long he finally had the water from the shower spray hot and steamy. "That much better." He said stepping beneath the shower spray."Well Little Chooch, are you going to join me or not?" Bobby walked over to the shower cubicle. Making room for him, Quack stepped back a little. He already had the bar of Ivory Soap in his hand and was lathering himself up. "Yes Bobby, believe me, this is the life. Believe you and me, Its been a long time since I had a good hot shower." Quack said while he was lathering up his armpits. He lathered up his chest and stomach, then while the hot shower spray was washing the soapy lather off of him, he handed Bobby the bar of soap. "I really can't say that, I had a shower about a week ago over at the boarding house" Bobby said. Looking down at Quacks crotch he noticed that he was still very much erect. His erection had gone down a little much to his relief. He soaped up his chest and stomach watching as the shower spray rinsed him off. "Give me the soap and I'll do your back, then you can do my back." Quack suggested. "Alright." Bobby said. He handed Quack the bar of soap then turned around so that his back was facing Quack. Quack started with Bobby's shoulders and upper back. He used the soap to lather him up with, then used his other hand to spread the soap around. As far as Bobby was concerned, what Quack was doing to him not only felt good, but felt nice and relaxing. Finishing with his shoulders and upper back, Quack worked the bar of soap down along Bobby spine to his tailbone, then smeared the soapy lather around. Then talking softly into Bobby's left ear, Quack asked, "Have you ever had sex with either a male or female?" The question that Quack asked him caught Bobby totally by surprise. He wasn't sure how to answer him. "Come on Little Chooch, we're friends. You can talk to me about stuff like that." "Yes." Bobby finally heard himself say. "One thing about having sex with someone, it relieves a lot of built up tension." Quack continued. His soapy hand was now moving around in a circular motion over his lower back and his well rounded, upper bottom cheeks. "I know." Bobby answered. "Who did you have sex with? A male, female or both?" Quack then asked. "Why do you want to know?" Bobby answered. "I'm just curious, that's all. To be honest with you, I find you very attractive. And since we're going to be traveling companions, maybe we could, uh, relieve each others tensions. Besides, I noticed that you had a nice little stuffy while you were watching me undress. That right there told me something about you." Quack went on to say. His soapy hand then moved down over Bobby's bottom cheeks, lathering up both cheeks, then underneath. Bobby just stood there not moving letting Quack have his way with him. "Well I don't know." Bobby said. If the truth were to be known, he found Quack attractive in his own right but had yet to say anything to him about that. "You never did answer my question." Quack said. "Yes, I've had sex with both a male and female." Bobby finally built up the courage to answer. He could not help but to think about all of the sexual escapades that he had over the past three months at Pine Island, and on the road with Bean, Kim, Dot and Antonio. "Same here." Quack said, cupping his soapy hand around Bobby's left bottom cheek to gently squeeze it. He did the same thing with Bobby's right bottom cheek, then worked his hands down the back of Bobby's legs. "But I prefer having sex with males. When you have sex with a female it gets pretty messy. So what Bobby, is this something that you would like to do with each other?" He asked "I don't know." Bobby answered. "One thing I'm not going to do is force you to have sex with me. It has to be consensual or we just won't do it. Besides if we have sex together, you'll find me to be a very talented lover. I might be able to teach you a thing or two" Quack chuckled. Bobby turned to face him. Looking down between them he noticed that Quack once again was very much erect. But Quack wasn't the only one erect. He had once again become erect also." "Here, do my back now." Quack said handing Bobby the bar of soap. He turned around and stood there beneath the shower spray as Bobby lathered up his broad, muscular shoulders and back. His erection was pointed only inches away from Quacks asshole. As his hand slid over his smooth muscular back, Bobby finally came to his decision. "Okay, I guess if you want we can have sex together." Bobby said. "Great, that's what I had been hoping you would say. Hell we have a long trip ahead of us, we might as well have a little fun while we make that trip." Quack said. "I know that's right." Bobby said. He went on ahead to soap up Quacks lower back and his firm taunt bottom cheeks. "There." He said, finally finishing up. He watched as the steamy shower spray rinsed the soapy lather off of Quacks muscular body. When the soapy lather was rinsed off of Quack, he turned the shower off. Together they walked out of the shower cubicle. Grabbing one of the large bathtowels that the Hotel provided, they quickly dried themselves off before walking naked into the large bedroom. The first thing that Quack did was to plop down on the soft mattress of the king size bed. "Damn this mattress is soft." Quack said. He plopped up and down on top of the mattress a couple of more times. "Come on and join me." Quack called out to Bobby. Bobby plopped down naked on the mattress with Quack. "This mattress sure is soft." He said. Finally together, both boys relaxed on the mattress. They just laid there on their backs with both hands under the back of their heads their elbows winging outwards. For or a few brief moments they just looked up at the ceiling not saying anything. Finally after a few moments of silence, Quack broke the ice by saying, "You know, you're not all that bad for a boy your age." "What do you mean?" Bobby "You're nicely hung." Quack answered. "Oh." Bobby said, not really sure what Quack meant by that statement. "Can you squirt yet?"Quack asked. "A little. Not much though. Don't forget, I just turned twelve about a couple of month ago." "You should be proud of that. Most boys you're age can't even do that yet." "How do you know?" Bobby asked. "Don't forget. I told you that I grew up in an orphanage until I was sixteen.You can rest asurred, there was a lot of sexual stuff going on between us boys, especially at night when the lights were out." "Yeah, I can see your point there." Bobby said. Again there was a few moments of silence. And then Quack said, "Will you let me beat you off. Then if you want, you can beat me off, but you don't have to if you don't want too." Bobby knew exactly what that term meant. His semi-erect penis throbbed with anticipation. Was this something that he actually wanted to get involved in with Quack? Yes, he quickly decided. When he had that orgy with Kim, Dot and Antonio not all that long ago, he really enjoyed it. Dot, Kims mother had made him very much aware that having sex was fun, and not something to be ashamed of. "Okay." Bobby said, much to Quacks happiness. "Great." Quack smiled. He quickly repositioned himself rolling over onto his side. He noticed that Bobby's penis had already become erect. It stood straight up at attention a good solid 4" inches in slender length from his hairless mound. He reached over and tenderly grasped him right beneath the plump circumcised head. Moving his other hand between Bobby's legs he gently cupped and rolled his medium size balls that were contained loosely on its wrinkled pouch. Bobbys erection immediately flexed when his fingertips made contact with his upper shaft. Slowly Quack started stroking the slender length up and down between his grasping fingertips.Bobby's erection flexed again in approval too Quacks gentle light but firm touch.Within seconds a drop of slippery pre-cum bubbled out from the tiny slit which Quack used to his advantage. He smeared the drooling pre-cum around Bobby's upper shaft beneath the head which made his penis even more sensitive. Bobby moaned with pleasure which made Quack speed up his light gentle strokes even more. "Oh God!" Bobby cried out feeling the rising tingling warm itch rapidly building up its point of no return. A second later, a shudder ripped through Bobby's now tense body. "Come on, let's see you cum, let's see you cum!" Quack cried out encoragingly. A few seconds later, Quack got exactly what he was looking for. Bobby's slender slippery shaft swelled outwards between Quacks stroking fingertips. When he finally climaxed, he climaxed hard, his rigid length bolting outwards in its intense release. His beet red shaft started thrumping away at a rapid pace. A couple of squirts of thinnish boy cum spat a couple of inches into the air only to drool back down over Quack's rapidly stroking fingertips. A little more boy cum dribbled out from the tip coating Quacks fingertips once again, and then it was over. Quack kept rubbing the cum smeared shaft up and down until Bobby's penis became flaccid, before finally releasing him. As Bobby laid there on the bed with his post orgasm afterglow, Quack said, "You did shoot off a nice little load for a boy your age." "I told you I could."Bobby said. He felt proud of himself. Finally Bobby sat up and looked down at Quacks crotch. His thick rigid length jutted up proudly its full 7" inches in veiny length from his hairy loins. "You ready for me to do you now?" Bobby asked. "I sure am!" Quack happily said. He quickly laid back down on his back on top of the mattress. On his knees, Bobby moved over to him. Looking at the thick veiny erection again, Bobby made a tight fist around it. He gave the thick shaft a gentle squeeze, then slowly started fisting Quack's thick shaft up and down. Quack cried out with pleasure enjoying the warm tingling sensations that he was now feeling deep within the core of his throbbing shaft. Pre-cum was now oozing like a sieve out from the protruding glans from the drawn back foreskin. Now you see it, now you don't, Bobby thought, watching the tapered foreskin appear then recede from around the thick pre-cum drooling glans. "Oh yes, that feels good, don't stop." Quack gasped. Like Quack had done with him, as soon as he heard the extent of Quacks pleasure, he speeded up his stroke, pumping the thick shaft rapidly up and down. "Oh shit, I'm going to cum, I'm going to cum, uhh, uhhhh, aaaah!" Quacks shaft lurched within Bobby's pumping fist. At least five ropes of thick white stringy cum spurted high into the air from Quacks rapidly pulsing shaft only to arch back down and splatter all over Quacks heaving chest and washboard stomach and groin. More hot cum spilled down over Bobby's tightly enclosed fist. Bobby kept pumping until Quack was completely spent. It was then, and only then that Bobby relinguished his grip around Quacks now floppy shaft. "Wow that was intense." Quack gasped, lying there in his post orgasmic afterglow. "You and me are going to get along just fine." Quack decided. That night, Bobby and Quack fell asleep in each others arms. They both knew that that the road ahead of them would not be easy. It would be hard and very dangerous, yet they were determined to make it, one way or the other. Not only that but they had both faith and trust in each other. This would be a relationship that would last for a lifetime.......
