A nearby bagel shop serves something called a Hobo, which I'd always
assumed was their own creation but it turns out that another bagel shop
in town serves the same thing, which is:

Ham

Egg

Cheese

Bacon

Potatoes (home fries or hash browns or similar)

on Bread/Bagel/Roll

The online recipes I found don't at all match what it's called here our
town in Northern New Jersey, so I figured I'd ask. Anyone have any
history or can otherwise shed light on this one?

There was a sandwich shop in PA that was open for breakfast and they
made a breakfast Hoagie.... scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, grilled
onions, grilled peppers and cheese on a 12" roll. You could substitute
ham for the bacon if you wished.

It looked like a hot mess and it wasn't something you would eat every
day... but it was pretty tasty.

I guess bagels have moved a long way from *kosher* cuisine! The best
bagel store I know is still relentlessly kosher; New York Bagels is
closed on Saturdays and the male help all wear yarmulkes.

Obviously not made with real bagels... real bagels are only available
in NYC... and no NYC bagel shop would offer ham/bacon on a bagel, not
even egg unless egg salad... fried egg on a bagel is TIAD.

Ham and bacon together is a bit of overkill. If you make something
similar at home on a toasted English muffin, be sure not to call it an
egg McMuffin

That's what I thought until I saw it at two different places. I guess
one place could have made it up and the other copied ...

Like a lot of foods, once popular, they start "classing up" the
ingredients. It loses it's rustic qualities, of course, but is easier
to procure ingredients and produce consistently.

What every happened to rat-on-a-stick? My guess: Once they stop
batter-frying it, it was more healthy, but looking that rat right the
eye was just too off-putting for the squeamish.
