Yes, bullet trains have wheels. They run on rails, just as conventional railroad locomotives and cars do. The trains that operate by magnetic levitation, the so-called MagLev trains, do not have wheels as they ride on a magnetic cushion.

To try and find work or even just food these people began traveling and the only available way to cover large distances at this time was rail. (if you had a little money or owned a car you could run these until they broke down) So people would jump onto slow moving freights trains and ride underneath on the cars on the brake rods.
