Train Hoppers Thread

Discussion in 'General' started by Tailz, Jun 11, 2013.

  1. pacific northwest is the best riding country..

     
  2. i am from india. i know about trains, OP should share the experience but avoid the obvious as i have seen things edited to fit guidelines.  you r discussing things that do not matter.  in india no one takes a dog with them on a train.  the toilet is the best spot, a hole.  it is a better experience, if you can afford it, to follow a band in my own view.  i find that more rewarding.  i have done my share of trains, and some time in india, but shit dont throw mammma off the train
     
  3. very cool.
    A dream of mine was always to hop abroad from Europe to the east.
    Dogs here are past tradition from when the hobo area started here after the civil war era..
    Merely for companionship cause these men traveled town to town looking for work. Travelers still practice this following different harvest seasons for fruits and veggies cross country.
    Having money while traveling would definitely take a lot of the pain and suffering out of it.
    I appreciate you sharing your experience definitely cool to hear...

  13. hopping freight trains by duffy littlejon
     
  14. Fun little story:

    Having sex on a freighter is amazing..
    Nothing like 60mph wind blowing over your bare ass...
    Only downside traveler girls are usually pretty dirty (literally)...
     
  15. How did you deal with police? Not sure if you answered or not, I guess I just don't understand how you could get out of that situation.

    depends really..
    I didn't always get away.
    I been arrested on a number of occasions.
    But some cops are cool..
    Depends all on if its the "bulls"
    Or town police.
    Bulls will usually just kick u out..

    Side story on that:
    I had a bull kick me outta a yard but made me walk the opposite direction out of the yard which was 3 miles with my 60lbs pack on my back in 90ºF and followed next to me in his truck drinking water eating donuts...

    i have a friend who ialways talk about doing things like this with. hes the kinda person who would do it too, not just bullshit about it. i think next summer i will try to hop some trains with him, head west maybe.
     
    have you ever been to South Carolina? hopped any trains here or anything?
     
    were there any specific rail companys you would look for when you were hopping?
