Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2024 17:35:32 -0500 From: James Karvonen Subject: Song of Lonesome Steel Rails: 55. Despite the cold night air that was circulating through the box car, Bobby felt nice and warm in Quacks embrace as the westbound SP freight train sped through western Louisiana and into Texas. The box car that they were in rocked and rolled, while beneath them they could hear the clickety clack of the wheels on the steel jointed rails. Every now and then smoke from the steaming locomotive would waif into the car making it a little uncomfortable breathing. But that was to be expected when one rode the rails like they were now doing. After there long awaited love making, with the winters nighttime temperatures rapidly falling, Quack spread opened his blanket roll even more so that Bobby could huddle with him. They were both still naked cuddled together flesh to flesh letting their combined body heat keep them warm during that cold winter night. The rocking an bouncing of the boxcar added to the relaxation that both boys were now experiencing. "So, how long do you think it will take for us to get to El Paso, Texas?" Bobby asked. "No telling, a couple of days perhaps, I dunno. It all depends on this train, and how many stops it has to make between here and El Paso ." Quack replied. "Where are we now?" "I'm not sure. Hopefully we are in Texas, but until we pass a station or something we won't know for sure." Bobby sighed then stretched. Drawing the blankets back he could feel the chill of the morning against his skin. "It's cold this morning." Bobby murmured. " Quack chuckled "What do you expect? It is January you know, and January has a tendency to be a cold month. " Bobby quickly eased out from beneath the blankets. Shivering he grabbed his clothes and quickly pulled them on. He watched as quack slowly eased out from beneath the blankets. When Quack crossed his arms shivering, Bobby smiled then said " See I told you. " Quack give probably a sinister look then smiled. Once dressed, the two boys headed over to the opened boxcar door and looked out. The train was moving along around 20 to 30 mph. The clickety clack and the rocking of the boxcar that they were in add a little to the discomfort that they were feeling. For about 10 minutes they watched as the scenery rolled by. The scenery that passed by was mostly flat, typical of the bayou country in West Louisiana and East Texas. Before long both boys got a little too cold standing at the open box car door watching the scenery pass by, so they headed into the back of the box car where they wouldn't catch the breeze that was blowing in from the outside. "Quack, what am I going to do. " Bobby frowned. " What do you mean, what are you going to do? " " I'm broke, I have no money, no clothes no food other than the food that you gave me last night. That's what I'm concerned about. If only Madame Eustis would have given me the money that I has earned doing my tricks instead of holding on to it like she did, I wouldn't be in this damn predicament that I am in now. " Bobby frowned. " Calm down Little Chooch, you are with me now. " Quack said. " I know. " Bobby nodded. Still his concern was legitimate, he didn't have no money, no change of clothes, no food, no sleeping bag or blankets, no nothing. He was definitely in dire straits and and Bakersfield California, looked farther away than ever. He was questioning in his mind, whether or not he will even make it to Bakersfield California after all this time. And another thing that was bothering him was that it had been a while since he last wrote his mother. The last time he wrote his mother had to have been at least 2 months ago. She must really be worried about him now, Bobby thought. After all, he had promised to send her a letter and money when he was able to, but due to circumstances beyond his control especially in the state of Georgia, he hadn't been able to do that. " Listen Little Chooch! " Quack said. " I have some money that I earned while I was in New Orleans over the past few weeks. So this is what I'm going to do. The way I figured it, when we first met back in Virginia several months ago I was in dire straits and guess who helped me out? You did. You had the money back then I had nothing. So now that our roles are reversed, I'm going to help you out. As soon as we get to El Paso, we're going to go to the store and I'm going to get you a change of clothes and the things that you're going to need if you decide to go with me on this cattle drive that I am planning to sign up for once I get to El Paso." Bobby didn't know what to say. Quack, was actually going to help him out this time. At least now he had a chance of possibly resuming his trip to Bakersfield California, after the cattle drive that Quack wanted him to sign up with him for. " Oh Quack! " Bobby cried out. Without even thinking about it he gave Quack a hug. Quack embrace him back and for several seconds they just stayed with each other in each other's arms. " It will be okay Bobby, just you wait and see. Things are going to work out for both of us. " Quack said reassuringly. And then looking into each other's eyes, they kissed each other firmly on the lips. Sometimes during that day the train finally crossed over the Louisiana, Texas state line. The train slowed down entering the freight yards just east of Beaumont, Texas coming to a complete stop. " Well, we're in Texas all right. I just saw a sign outside saying Beaumont, Texas. So in the last 24 hours or so we've made it this far. " Quack said reassuringly. This made Bobby feel a little better, at least now they were out of the state of Louisiana and in Texas. The train was making some progress, though slow. Now the question remained how long they would be here in Beaumont Texas before continuing West toward El Paso. It turned out that within an hour time, the train after picking up some freight cars heading west was once again on the move. This time while in Texas they made a little more progress as far as speed was concerned. Bobby and Quack both could hear the loud chuffing of locomotive, about 30 cars up they can headway through Texas. A couple of hours later the train made another stop, this time in Houston Texas where they picked up some more freight cars after dropping some cars off. Four hours later, the freight train was highballing nonstop through San Antonio Texas. They were on the Southern Pacific railroads double track speed line. Sometimes during that second night riding the Southern Pacific from New Orleans to El Paso, they passed through Del Rio,Texas. They made another quick stop at Alpine, were they dropped off and picked up some more freight cars. A couple of hours later the train finally rolled through the stockyards just east of El Paso then entered the large freight yard in that city. After three days of riding the rails, Quack and Bobby finally reached their destination, El Paso, Texas. " We're here, " Quack cried out breathing a sigh of relief. And it was a good thing that they finally did reach El Paso, Texas because Quack's food and what other supplies that he had had with him were just gone. While they were in El Paso, Quack was going to need to replenished his food and the supplies that he needed. That was a necessity before he and Bobby could continue they're trek. When the train came to a stop, Quack and Bobby waited for about a half hour or so before climbing out of the boxcar. They were in the middle of a large freight yard, that interchanged with the railroads in Mexico and the railroad bulls would be on the prowl looking for trespassers. From there vantage point, they could just see the Rio Grande River that acted as the border between El Paso Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. It didn't take long for the two boys to cautiously make their way through the railroad yards. Before long they made they're way into the city of El Paso. El Paso was at the typical wild West Town that Bobby had watched in movies. They still had cattle drives through the streets of El Paso to reach the stockyards on the railroad. And that was what Quacks main goal was, to be part of the next cattle drive where he would have that opportunity to earn some money. The money that a cowboy could earn on these cattle drives was considered pretty good, but it would take a lot of hard work and that was what made it appealing for Quack. And if he could get Bobby hooked up to go on the cattle drive with him, that would make this adventure even more appealing. As far as Bobby was concerned, he needed to earn some money since in the situation that he was in now, he had nothing other than the clothes on his back to his name. Hopefully from what Quack had been telling him, he would be able to earn the money on the cattle drive as well so that he could continue his trip to Bakersfield California. A trip that he had started more then seven months ago and had yet to complete. At least now being in El Paso Texas he was a lot closer to reaching his destination then he had been a week ago. But first things first. Since they had just arrived in El Paso, they needed to find a Hotel that they could settle in for the night. After all it was around 3:00 in the afternoon and they didn't have that much time before the sun would start at the sink in the Western horizon. Both of them were filthy from the cinders and dirt inside the box car that seemingly clung to their bodies. Once they were out of the freight yards, they headed to the center of the city. Being that it was the depression soup kitchens had been set up for the homeless and needy. They found one soup kitchen not far from the railroad yards. So instead of cooking a meal that night Bobby and Quack decided to eat a meal at this soup kitchen. They waited for about an hour or so to get a hot substantial meal that they both needed. Once they had eaten their hot meal, the next thing they needed to do was find that Hotel that Quack could afford with what money he had in his pocket. But before they even did that, Bobby needed some clothes and other supplies to see him through. And true to his word, Quack did what he said he was going to do. Before looking for an affordable hotel, they stopped at a used second hand clothing store where Quack purchased an extra pair of pants, shirt and a pair of socks for Bobby. Now Bobby had a change of clothes that he so desperately needed. After that was taken care of, they continued on their quest to find that affordable hotel. It didn't take long before they found a Hotel that was just off of 4th avenue and Main Street in downtown El Paso. It wasn't the best hotel, but at least it was a hotel that Quack could afford, where they could spend the night and get themselves cleaned up and refreshed for the interview with the ranchers who were going to lead the upcoming Cattle drive. That interview according to Quack was scheduled for tomorrow. The name of the hotel was the Hacienda Morales run by a couple of Mexicans. Quack went ahead and paid for the room and after given their key they headed upstairs to the second floor where the room was located. It was a small room but it did have a bathroom and a double bed that they could sleep on that night. Despite being small the room was nevertheless comfortable, a lot better than sleeping on the floor of a boxcar on a slow moving freight train that they have been doing over the last 3 days. In the bathroom there was a bathtub with a shower attachment. As soon as they entered the room the first thing they did entered to strip off their dirty clothes that they had been wearing for the last three days. " You want to shower together? That way you can wash my back and I can wash you're back. " Quack suggested. Bobby gave Quack a sheepish grin. The last time he had a good shower was back at the brothel but that had been a couple of weeks ago. " Sure, why not. " Bobby nodded. Standing together naked they both smelled sweaty. Not only that but they were both covered with cinders, especially in their hair. There was no question about it, they both needed bathe. " I'll hand wash our dirty clothes tonight drape them over the radiator. Hopefully by tomorrow they'll be dry enough to put into my ransack. " Quack stated. He then reached into his ransack and pulled out the newspaper ad that he had with him. Opening up the newspaper ad he said, " We made here just in time because according to this ad that I had been carrying with me for heaven knows how long the interviews are suppose to start at 1:00 on January 6th and get over with by 5:00. Tomorrow is January 6th, ain't it? " " I believe so, " Bobby nodded. He went on ahead and placed the newspaper ad back into his ransack. He then looked over at Bobby standing only a couple feet away from him butt ass naked. After all these months, in Quacks eyes Bobby was still beautiful. He stood there like an ancient Greek sculpture, all boy on the copse of young adolescence. His circumcised penis hung limply about 3" or so over his little more then medium size low hanging hairless balls. From where he was standing he could barely see the fine strands of silky hair that were sprouting at the very root of his penis. Just looking at this almost hairless boy made Quack's penis flex, then lengthen in anticipation of what just might happen that night between them. At least if they made love that night it wouldn't be in a cold boxcar on a slow moving freight train. It would be on a soft bed in a warm room. Seeing the reaction that his nude body was having on Quack, Bobby smiled almost mischievously then reached down between his legs to tenderly cup his balls in the palm of his hand. Lifting them up, he bounced them up and down a little in the palm of his hand then said, " Do you like what you see? " " What do you think? " Quack replied. Bobby chuckled, knowing that his actions had made Quacks day. He did a little pivot in step then headed into the small bathroom. Quack eagerly followed wanting to see what was going to happen next. Stepping into the tub, Bobby attached the shower hose to the spicket then turned the water on. Freezing cold water blasted out from the shower head over Bobby's naked body causing him to cry out in surprise and jump. Quack started laughing as if it was the most funniest thing in all the world, that he had seen in quite some time. "That's what you get for attempting to get me sexually aroused " Quack laughed. " Well it looks like I did a good job in getting you aroused because you're definitely on the bone and you can't deny that fact because the evidence is there. " Bobby stated pointing to Quack very obvious erection. Bobby shivered beneath the cold shower spray then frantically tried to adjust the water to a more comfortable level. Only this time the temperature was much hotter then what Bobby wanted causing the youngster to jump again much to Quack's amusement. Finally Bobby managed to get the temperature of the water to his liking. Quack continued to laugh at Bobby's antics. "You thought it was funny when I couldn't get the water temperature adjusted to my liking, didn't you. " Bobby frowned. " Uh huh. " Quack snickered." You were dancing around under that shower spray like you were an Apache Indian doing a war dance. " Quack chuckled. Bobby frowned, then after regaining his composure a few seconds later was laughing right along with Quack climbed into the tub with Bobby then placing his hands on the younger boys bare shoulders turn him around so that they were facing each other. They looked lovingly into each other's eyes, then quack leaned over and tenderly kissed Bobby on his mouth while the shower is continued to spray down on them. Bobby returned Quacks kiss and for a few minutes or so the troubles that both boys had faced and were about to face seem to dissolve into brief moments of love, happiness and tenderness. "Let me lather you up, then you can lather me up, okay? " Quack asked. Smiling, Bobby nodded then said. " Okay. " He reached over and handed Quack the complimentary bar of Ivory soap that the Hotel offered. Taking the soap from Bobby's hand, Quack tenderly started lathering up Bobby's smooth broadening shoulders. Bobby relaxed, feeling Quacks hands tenderly roaming over his body. He lathered up Bobby's shoulders then worked his way down over the younger boys upper back to the curve of his lower back. All the while the shower spray rinsed the lather from Bobby's warm wet body. " Feels good, don't it Bobby?" Quack whispered. " Uh huh." Bobby replied. These were the tender moments of love and companionship, that Bobby would never forget. He felt Quacks warm soapy hands gliding down his lower back and spine to his well-rounded bottom cheeks. Once he reached Bobby's bottom cheeks he cupped the smooth twin globes of both hands then started to squeeze them together then spread them apart to reveal the pink puckered opening of Bobby's moist gaping bottom hole. He then gently squeezed them back together causing Bobby to purr and shiver with the delight. Pausing momentarily Quack jutted the middle finger of his left hand out so that he could trace his soapy fingertip down from Bobby's tailbone, along the crack between his both asscheeks to his slightly gaping asshole. When Quacks fingertip slowly started entering him one digit at a time, Bobby cried out in surprise. "Whatcha doing, " "I'm going to make sure you're clean inside for what I'm about to do to you next. " Quack whispered seductively. Bobby knew right then and there what Quacks intentions were and he wasn't complaining. It had been a while since Quack had last fucked him and having gone through what he had gone through over the last three months he was more then ready to feel Quack's rock hard lengthy shaft deep inside him. He felt Quacks impaled soapy finger slide ever so gently in and out of his hot inner depths. When Quacks impaled fingertip started brushing up against his prostate, Bobby heard himself cry out in response to what Quack was doing to him. His flaccid cock quickly rose to the occasion becoming rock hard within a matter of seconds telescoping out to it's full almost 5" in length. "Uh, uh, uhhh!!!" Bobby heard himself cry out in what could only be described as undeniable pleasure. " There, that should do it. " Quack hissed as he slowly twisted his middle impaled finger out with Bobby's now slightly twitching bottom hole. Beneath the warm shower spray Quack spooned himself up against Bobby's wet back. Reaching down between them he took hold his throbbing cock then skinning back his tapered foreskin a little slowly positioned himself so that he could push into Bobby's hot gaping inner depths. "You ready for me? " Quack softly whispered into Bobby's left ear. He slid his right hand around then beneath Bobby's armpit over the wet heaving ribs and nipples of his developing chest. With his hand and fingers now splayed across the center of Bobby's chest Quack could actually feel the younger boy's rapid heartbeat beneath the palm of his hand. That told him right then and there that Bobby was more then ready for him to take the plunge. "Yesss." He heard Bobby whisper in confirmation. With his other hand, Quack peeled his tapered foreskin back then positioned the protruding head of his cock at the gaping entrance of Bobby's asshole. "All right, " he gasped, then taking his time slowly thrusted forwards to push his rigid cock into Bobby's asshole. "Ahhh." Bobby cried out in both a mixture of pain and pleasure. He had had this done to him numerous times at the brothel, but those times didn't actually mean anything to him. This was Quack his lover, not some stranger who was now slowly pushing into him and getting fucked by Quack meant more to him then anything else in the world right now. He felt Quack ease back again so that he could to drive into him again only this time Bobby beat Quack to the punch. He pushed back hard to meet Quacks forward thrust. "Ahhh!!! " Bobby heard Quack cry out. He felt Quack's entire thick length ram deep inside him, joining them together as one. "Oh yes, that feels so good. " Quack moaned. He let go of his cock and slid his left hand around Bobby's hip making a fist around the younger boys slender throbbing length. He gently squeezed Bobby's shaft running the ball of his thumb over Bobby's now ultra sensitive pre-cum slippery cockhead. This time it was Bobby's turn to moan with pleasure. As Quack was doing that he slowly started moving in and out. Before long both boys were breathing hard and deep amidst their rising pleasure. "Oh yes, fuck me! Fuck me!!! " Bobby cried out. When Quack started masturbating him by tightly fisting his cock up and down as he was fucking him, that all but drove Bobby to the brink of insanity. "Yes, yes, yesss! " Bobby cried out as the intense inner sexual pleasure that he was now feeling rose rapidly up to its breaking point. "Uh, uhhh, uh!" Quack grunted just about reaching his point of no return also. Bobby hunched back hard against Quacks deeply impaled cock to the point that he could actually feel Quack's thick bush of pubic hair against his bottom cheeks. After one final thrust from Quack's deeply impaled cock, Bobby exploded his boy cum spurting out a couple of inches in front of him before spilling out all over Quacks tightly enclosed pumping fist. In turn, Bobby's twitching inner rectal muscles quickly brought Quack off to his point of no return. He violently erupted gushing spurt after spurt of his thick white cum deep into Bobby's hot sucking inner depths. Before long, it was over for both of them. Quack stayed impaled in Bobby for a few seconds more before finally pulling out. He gave Bobby's now flaccid cum smeared cock one last squeeze before finally letting him go. "Man I needed that. " Quack gasped. " It's been a long time since we last made love like that. " He added waggling his floppy cock up and down a couple of times. " Yes, it had been a long time. " Bobby admitted. His asshole ached a little from Quack's thick cock but it was a pleasant sort of ache. He could feel Quack's thick cum up in him. They stayed together beneath the shower spray for another 5 minutes or so soaping each other up before Quack finally stepped out of the tub. Turning off the water Bobby joined him. Grabbing the towels that had been provided by the hotel management they quickly dried off. The rest of the night was basically quiet and relaxing. Quack went on ahead and did what he said he would do, washing their clothes in the bathroom sink. When the clothes were washed and placed them on the radiators to dry off hopefully by morning. That night for the first time in a long time the huddle with each other on a bed not the hard floor of a boxcar. Lying on the bed was so comfortable that it didn't take them long to fall asleep. Quack knew that tomorrow would be a very busy day and with any luck both he and Bobby would be hired on for the upcoming cattle drive that according to the ad, was supposed to start from somewhere in North Texas a couple of weeks from now. How long it would take for the cattle to be driven from the triple H ranch was anyone's guess. But with any luck before long they would soon find out.....
