  121. you take your life into your own hands when you go out hopping. the only one keeping you alive is
  122. you and it is by no means easy. you have to work for literally everything and you have to work hard,
  123. but that's what makes it so rewarding. in fact it's almost completely disillusioned me with the trivial
  124. pettiness of regular everyday life. i can never do anything else. the things i've seen out there could
  125. never be bought and my experiences are worth more to me then any amount of money i could ever
  126. make and i'm still young and i've only been at it for 2 years or so, so i have a whole life of wounder
  127. ahead of me to get me out of bed in the morning. real talk, train hopping has made me happier then i
  128. ever thought possible and has saved me from a boring life

  213. you can get on/off trains when they are going slow like when they are going through town or
  214. going/coming from a stop. you can hop them when they are stopped vary easily, just watch for bulls
  215. (yard workers/guys that don't want you on their train) then just wait for them to start moving.
  216. getting off is best when going slow too. don't just tuck and roll if you don't have to, if it's going slow
  217. enough, try lowering yourself down on the ladder (there will be ladders by the way, thats the shit you
  218. grab on to) and running with it then letting go and slowing down. make sure you keep your footing. if
  219. you're going hella fast (but not like HELLA fest) then totally tuck and roll. it may hurt a little, but it's not
  220. that bad usually
  221. gun can never hurt, just don't get caught with it on you. i carry a Springfield m6 scout on all my hops
  222. security is hardly an issue at all. they hardly check and you can see them coming a miles away
  223. i hop trains and ride them into some real deep wilderness some times and if you hop of where they
  224. usually go slow, you'll most likely be able to hop one to take you back
  225. do be careful if you do try this. hop slow trains and don't go so far as so you can't walk back if need be
  226. for your first few hops. if a train starts going a little to fast for your liking, get off immediately cause
  227. once they get going they stay that way for a minute. you might end up getting stuck on one going 60

  250. Easiest place to get on/off a train is by a coal power plant. The trains are very fucking long near them
  251. and they only have bulls near the plant, and these bulls are just workers who don't give a fuck about
  252. anything but getting the unloading/coupling job done. Walk a few blocks along the train and hop in.

  348. How exactly do you go about this?
  349. Do you jump on the trains when they're completely stopped at stations or do you
  350. go in extreme like jumping on the fucking thing when it passes in full motion?
  351. Isn't there security or whatever looking for train hoppers when they're at
  352. stations?

  422. Anyway, it was one of them coal trains, long as fuck. I was walking nearish this smaller station that
  423. doesn't even have people manning it during weekends, workdays they're there for like four hours. I
  424. thought no one was there and I know my way around the majority of the quieter areas of south east
  425. Queensland, so as it slowed down near the station I just jumped on.
  426. Stayed there like that for a while, I was smart enough to not stick out too much as slamming into
  427. something at that speed would fuck you hard. I think it was the adrenaline wearing off that made me
  428. lose confidence, as soon as the next station neared and it started to slow (was still a quiet station, so
  429. could've gone further) I jumped.
  430. Was two months ago, I'll try again one day, when I convince one of my friends.

  518. they don't just stop a train if someone sees you on there. most people just smile and wave. you can
  519. carry a walkie talkie and tune it to listen in to the conductor's channel. if they talk about "unauthorized

  716. If it's too low/narrow, jump. More chance landing a high speed jump that head on collision with brick.
  717. Otherwise you're fucked.
  718. However, if you're smart, you would've set up near the end car, AND you would've seen the tunnel
  719. from miles away, so you hang onto the back of the end car.

  748. Sometimes though the middle cars have little support in between them. Some trains I've seen actually
  749. remove ladders and such from cars that don't need them, so the only way to sit in between middle
  750. cars is to hand onto the top of the box or balance on the cable/link.

  856. >A quick google search can get you all the info
  857. This. Absolutely this. Experienced riders will be able to ask a worker where a train is going, but
  858. that's not for amateurs - you definitely need to feel people out. Some hate riders, some don't
  859. care, depends on the yard. But one thing most people do at a new yard is scope google maps,
  860. find out what are likely departure tracks and what places are going to be a waste of time to hang
  861. out in. Then you're likely to get better information if you see a worker because you're asking a
  862. guy who builds outbound trains instead of a guy who is doing MOW or a million other things that
  863. let him not give a flying fuck about what's going where. And there are a lot of those guys around a
  864. railyard.
  865. But really, anyone serious nowadays, even the old guys, just carry a radio scanner. You'll often hear
  866. something like "RTC this is CN 112 eastbound on track seven, permission to clear," and the
  867. controllers says "ok CN 112 you are clear, have a nice trip," and since you googled the train numbers
  868. and you know that train originates in Vancouver and terminates in Toronto, you look for what's moving
  869. or you find track seven and you're on your way. Plus when workers see you and feel dickish about it
  870. they'll radio the bull and you'll hear that and know when to hide, a trick that has saved my ass a
  871. number of times. Nothing like a constant stream of information when you're trying to get away with
  872. stuff.

  889. The were probably asleep. Coal being the lowest of the low priorities, they probably sided out time
  890. after time and were literally crawling wherever the fuck they we going to go, so they may have been
  891. asleep and not paying attention when they stopped again for the millionth time. I doubt they were just
  892. sitting there waiting to get crushed. Also, you only ride coal if you're absolutely desperate, because it's
  893. the filthiest thing imaginable and the trains never go anywhere good, usually to the industrial zone
  894. fifteen miles out of town. My theory is that they were probably waiting for a better ride, nothing had
  895. been by in days and they took it out of exhausted desperation and fell asleep to their detriment.

  1068. freight trains are few and far between over here. they do exist though. maintenance trains also, but
  1069. chances are you'll get caught, they're usually just an engine and 1 carriage.
  1070. i imagine "train hopping" on regular trains is boring. there are certain lines you can just get on without
  1071. paying though. Merseyrail (aka ratrail, scumrail etc) being one of them.

  1095. Thank you all for your participation, and those helping answer questions.
  1096. I appreciate you all, and almost got to do this, but lost a friend to this.
  1097. Let me start off by expanding on the dangers- my friend was killed due to a train
  1098. hopping incident. His foot was cut off after a train hit something on a track while
  1099. he was jumping on it.

  1103. He did not die immediately, over a year later, due to a blood clot in his knee (where they eventually
  1104. had to amputate it to after 4 amputations due to gangrene). Went into his heart and killed him
  1105. instantly.
  1106. I do still dream of doing this, but it has been off my scheduale for quite some time while considering
  1107. the seriousness of this activity. He was a smart bro, one of the smartest people I knew, wise as all get
  1108. out.
  1109. I'm not saying that you shouldn't do this- just realize that you are indeed risking your very existence.
  1110. Those with experience, please continue, as I believe it to be my duty to seek out his adventure now at
  1111. some point, since he had to die so young.

  1124. Barely exists. You won't be chilling on the train like >>4928 (the roof is out anyway because overhead
  1125. wires), but standing on the bumpers between two cars and clining to them not to fall off. Most freight
  1126. trains also run during the night, when it's pretty cold and the visibility is bad.
  1127. Most of the trains are locked boxcars, containers, tankers or coal. Your best chance are probably auto
  1128. carriers, though those are often partrolled whenever they stop because of the valuable freight.

  1134. I have also met a conductor I should mention, a few things about them.
  1135. Most of them are indeed family men and lonely on the road.
  1136. There is a common crack cocaine problem with them- I met him after he got clean, he himself became
  1137. homeless after the addiction.
  1138. The reason for the cocaine is obvious- the long rides.
  1139. I didn't get to ask him too much about hopping, or didn't think of it at the time, but many of them do
  1140. appreciate the company.
  1141. I don't suggest doing cocaine out on the road, or any sort of drugs or alcohol. What you are doing is
  1142. dangerous.
  1143. Anyone in the American midwest have experience?
  1144. Also, and notes on having a criminal history while doing this? Obviously not a good idea if you are on
  1145. probation/parole, unless you are facing serious time and need to run, in which case...

  1265. You only need a permit for concealed carry of a pistol.
  1266. Traveling with a gun in your pack is not illegal in most states.
  1267. If you do carry a gun it is your responsibility to know the law. Don't just take my word for it.
  1268. Also, since freight hopping is trespassing, you can be charged with felony if you have a gun.
  1269. I advise you not to carry a gun - unless of course you are a felon already, in which case feel free to
  1270. disregard the law.

  1288. How is it that there are such discrepencies between stories of people "claiming to have years of

  1290. fields, severed limbs, cops or security or "bulls" are everywhere) and then there are people who tell of

  1303. If I catch another charge, they will push old cases on me and I'll probably be a felon anyways.
  1304. But, trespassing with no prior's isn't a felony, and if I'm out of state... you are probably right. Thanks
  1305. for the tip.
  1306. And of course, any part of this or any life decision is your own responsibility- and all of it should be
  1307. thought out. Hopping on a train without any forethought for a quick thrill is the most idiotic idea, ever.
  1308. You shouldn't try this if you are a kid with no life experience, anyways. This isn't good for a "reality

  1405. when dealing with freight riders, and they will flip SHIT if they see you with a gun, as will anyone else

  1471. It is worth checking out the legalities of, for sure.
  1472. >>9785
  1473. This varies by country and state. In Canada, you HAVE to conceal some weapons- in a way that they
  1474. cannot be unsheathed by the forced of gravity I've heard.
  1475. In America it is quite confusing, also guns are legal. Probably things to do with it being loaded/visible
  1476. and unloaded/not as visible.
  1477. In general though, having it loaded while doing illicit activities is a bad idea, this I know.
  1478. Bolt action survival rifle with the butt out of your bad unloaded, sounds like the safest option to carry

  1613. You CAN'T avoid those kids on the road. They are under every bridge, at every catch out, and it's only
  1614. a matter of time before you come across some.
  1615. It's really just because of the boredom. There's fucking nothing else to do when you;re waiting for
  1616. trains, so why not get drunk? And then you get a kind of snowball effect going on, that combined with
  1617. the fact that you don't really have any responsibilities makes it REAL easy to slip into alcoholism.
  1618. Imagine "freshman" syndrome except everyone around you is probably drinking, or working on getting
  1619. enough cash to drink, and you don't ever have to worry about studying or going to class. I do agree
  1620. that it's a choice, but however, a lot of kids looking to learn how to ride, end up drinking way too much
  1621. just to keep up with experienced riders, and it's pretty hard to turn down booze if you're scared

  1671. with them, and they find out how afraid you are of leaving the bubble of safety, they will probably fuck
  1672. with you. But you shouldn't be carrying a pistol if you're drinking, anyways.

  1674. everyone knows that nobody wins in a knife fight. That's why nobody fucks with anyone who has a

  1721. Train hopping may sound cool as fuck, but seriously, don't do it. It's fucking
  1722. dangerous.
  1723. I have at least 3 friends who have fucked up their lives doing this, one getting
  1724. busted, one getting stuck inside this old train storage compound facility, and one
  1725. jumping off at 15 mph and breaking his leg and fracturing his neck.
  1726. It may seem cool as fuck until you realize you're a retard hanging onto a moving piece of speeding
  1727. steel in the middle of fucking nowhere.
  1728. Not to mention nowadays trains are so few and far between they are only used by military / high
  1729. security organizations that do not tolerate your bullshit.
  1730. If you are caught on one you will be busted.
  1731. If you are caught near one, they will beat the loving shit out of you, knowing full well you are likely a
  1732. nobody and nobody will give a shit, break out your teeth and make an example of you for anybody
  1733. else.
  1734. Some will just consider you a terrorist and shoot on site.
  1735. Seriously don't fuck around with trains, man. Not worth it.

  1741. These people don't go roaming about drunkenly looking for fights (except maybe in New Orleans...

  1947. Trains move around freight. There's only a FEW trains that carry ammunition, and god damn you'd
  1948. have to be a retard to try and ride one. So in reality, if its a mixed line freight, it's probably carrying
  1949. plastic pellets or grain in the hoppers, scrap metal, coils or poles in the gondolas, newsprint in the box
  1950. cars, coils on the coil cars, and if its an intermodal, it's carrying tons of shit from china.

  2073. Im planning to travel around the country after school. My first question is how do you find the yards? I
  2074. have looked at a map of my city and have found a few but i don't think they are freight, more likely
  2075. they are just public transit. Also what do you guys bring? My guess is water would be the most
  2076. important thing as well as ear plugs. Do tou try and travel lightweight or is it ok to have alot of gear?
  2077. Also i am in Philadelphia any storys, tips, etc for the region?

  2455. TL;DR-- You could die, but to some it'd be worth it. (some with a fucked up past)
  2456.  
  2457. Aside all the faggotry: train hopping, in my imaginings, is quite an experience.
  2458.  
  2459. It is only for people who can handle the hard fact that you could die, could be kicked off the train in the middle of nowhere and then gang raped by some local native niggers.
  2460.  
  2461. But with luck, skill and perseverance, it could be a beautiful experience, even more then it is dangerous.

  2907. I've got a question about that too, how common is it to find a place to charge your shit on a journey like this?
  2908. If I ever did this, I'd consider bringing a DS or something, it's easy to hide and it has a long battery life.

  2931. Trains travel pretty fast, 60mph was an average mentioned I believe. You will be able to get off at the next stop, shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't intend to stick around with the drunk kids and get drunk and become an alcoholic.

  3021. I want to trainhop from Michigan to California. Thing is, I'd probably want to bring a fuckton of LSD with me - I know that I would be fucked if I were to get busted by bulls with that shit in my pack, but aside from that would it be a terrible idea for me to bring this stuff with me and use it? I would probably use it when camping out in the wilderness near the tracks on one/two day travel breaks. Tripping while aboard the train seems like a deathwish.

  3043.  
  3044. Doubt there is a hotshot from Vancouver to New York. Most/all trains heading east will be switched or humped before reaching their final destination unless it is intermodal, but I would be very surprised if there is intermodal traffic between Vancouver and New York. Also, keep in mind that regulations mandate that trains. All trains have to change their crew after traveling a certain distance, or a maximum of 12 hours.
  3045.  
  3046. I do not condone illegally riding freight trains but if it is your inclination to do so do please do yourself a favor and learn as much as you can about freight train operations in Canada and the United States (or whatever your country of choice is)

  3180. As someone whose ridden freight with and without a scanner, let me clear up some misconceptions you guys seem to have.
  3181.  
  3182. Radios are NOT the be all end all for rail safety. Most deaths by rail come from accidents, and they don't announce accidents via radio, obviously. The only thing a scanner is really handy for is finding out what train is being built, and getting a heads up if you're spotted. The downsides are they cost a shitload of money, they take a ton of batteries, they aren't dustproof/waterproof (I'm sure the more expensive ones are, though) and they take up a surprisingly large amount of room in your pack (obviously depending on what you get)
  3183.  
  3184. That being said, thousands of people ride freights without fancy scanners no problem, and no "disaster" will ever come from not having one.

  3191. Well, it kind of is. Transporting a weapon is not the same as concealing it.
  3192.  
  3193. So if your rifle is sheathed or in your pack you will not be breaking concealed weapon laws
  3194.  
  3195. Some states like AZ issue permits for concealed weapons, meaning you can carry sawn off shotgun if you want. (Assuming proper AWO)
  3196.  
  3197. Other states only issue permits for pistols.

  3230. I find this hard to believe, when a knife concealed in your pack can fetch a concealed weapons charge... not to mention the fact that the cop will probably just write the ticket anyways, regardless of whether or not it will hold up in court, and probably set the date waaaay far in advance so you've either got to hang around whatever tiny city you got stopped in for a few months, or try to make it back in time.

  3236. When a lower priority train pulls off onto a set of parallel tracks to let a higher priority train pass.
  3237.  
  3238. Inexperienced riders usually think that their train stopped for good and they are stuck in the middle of knowhere (hence where the horror stories of being stuck somewhere for 10 days come from, in reality they probably sat at a siding for a few hours, freaked, and started walking away from the tracks and got lost)

  3280.  
  3281. Thats bullshit. For a weapon to be concealed, it has to be directly on your person.
  3282. Can you imagine something more extreme than a folding AK in a briefcase? That doesn't count as concealed, and some people actually travel with one, even domestic flights.
  3283.  
  3284. To get a concealed weapon charge the cop will probably arrest you anyway.
  3285. He can't just ticket you.

  3384. Woah woah woah, no city/state info in any infographics. That will blow the shit out of all the spots, and raise a LOT of attention we (freight riders) don't want. Besides, there's a zine that covers all this, and it's been PURPOSELY kept off the internet since it was created. One person uploaded a super shitty, semi illegible, incomplete copy a while back, and needless to say, nobody has since then.
  3385.  
  3386. I'm fine with uploading tips and safety measures, hell, even info as to what kind of cars are safe to ride is okay, but NO regional information. Besides, that's the easiest part, just hop on google maps and you'll learn everything you need to know about where to catch out.

  3417. Not to much info, I have been dreaming about train hopping for a while now but have yet to do it. Ive been thinking about it though and would probably leave from the csx yard and head west. I also really enjoy reading about train hopping, have you checked out north bank freds site? Also withouth being super edgy i have to say i first considered this after reading evasion. Whats on your train hopping reading list?

  3424. Depends. Train riders usually hang out in pretty much the same parts of towns, and depending on the size of the town and the frequency of the line that runs through, you may see a bunch. I got off in Green River Wyoming (a crewchange point on the busiest stretch of rail in the nation) and there happened to be 12 other riders in town. They weren't all travelling together, mostly groups of 3 or 4, but we all ended up in the same town. Another time, me and the 4 other kids from my home town who travel this way, all happened to end up in Boulder at the same time, none of us had coordinated with eachother.
  3425.  
  3426. Get that "crazy bum gouging your eyes out" shit out of your head, people will notice if you still carry this "us vs them" attitude, and it's shit like THAT which might get you stomped. Just stay away from drunks and you'll be fine.

  3444. Its generally a good idea to ride only empty cars.if there is something inside you can get hurt. I did read about a guy who took his chances with a full container and it ended up being full of new cars. He had a rather comfy ride. What you really have to worry about safety wise is making sure the car doors don't shut on you because you wont be able to open them again. Jam it with something.

  3467.  
  3468. What I gathered, though, was that you will come across people at stops (and hobocamps, obviously)- but more than likely you may not while on the road.
  3469.  
  3470. Your car? Why do you want to go trainhopping? Leave it at home or somewhere it will be safe for a long time...

  3492.  
  3493. >>14389
  3494. I don't think it has, sadly...
  3495. The cars you're thinking of are Intermodal cars. The containers don't shift. Your problem with those, is the floors. Some have giant holes in the floors, don't ride these. Boxcars are safe IF both the doors are open AND you deadman BOTH the doors (jam a railroad spike in the doorjamb) but boxcars are becoming increasingly rare, especially open ones.
  3496. Grainers/hoppers are a LOT more common, but again, look at the floor. If it has big holes, don't ride.
  3497. Gondolas are rad (if they are empty)
  3498.  
  3499. And that about sums it up.

  3534. None of those things you listed are that essential. The biggest thing to remember is that trains are fucking windy, and steel drains you of heat. So, you need something to insulate you from the steel (camping pad is best, but cardboard or carpet works too) and you need something to keep the wind off of you. Also, always ride on the back of a car, so you won't get shittons of wind comin at ya.
  3535.  
  3536. Your position on the actual train itself isn't THAT important, but you obviously don't want to be near the very front (those units have rear view mirrors...) and riding on the very last car (unless its a DPU) will drive you fucking insane because the FRED sounds like a dentist drill.

  3568. that whole "rail workers beating you up" is a myth. May have been a reality back in the day, but it isn't now. Not to mention most of the actual engineers think it's "good luck" to have a bum on their train, supposedly it means the train won't derail. Just some old timey myth, obviously. But all the engineers I've met have been super nice. Plus it depends a lot on the company, but you don't have to worry about security people beating your ass. This is fucking 2013 after all.
  3569.  
  3570. I usually don't bother with running, because A)I have a fucking pack on, B) if you run, they suspect you of doing something worse then just riding freight, and C) if you're nice and upfront, sometimes workers will help you out and let you know when your train is leaving, or where a particular train is going. Hell, I had a KCS engineer bring lunch to us while we waited on a gondola.

  3597. Surprisingly, no. If they are loaded, they will have a little tag on them similar to the ones you see on utility boxes. This is mainly so if they deliver damaged products, they can tell their insurance or whatever that the car was tampered with and they aren't liable.
