I hop trains near my house but not for miles, just a few minutes in a mile stretch between my house and a small town. Train only goes 25 miles per hour but has to slow down near my house due to a wildlife reserve so for my age, a cold coke and pair of gloves cause there is no flatcars on those trains.
You don't hear much of train hopping in the press because it just encourages it. It is now a 5 year prison sentence. I recall seeing one as I was driving to work as I was following a piggyback trailer train, he was sitting under one of those trailers.
@scottlmcleod1 Thanks for the reply. I used to hop freight trains when I was younger but the way today is you go to federal prison just for that. But sometimes I think of doing it again just cant get caught. That would be an awsome video to put up here on youtube.
Well he was making some dang good time ! He makes the phrase " gone like a freight train " come TRUE !!

a chair and beer would be nice, i would imagine it would get cold riding on those cars too. I used to drive that route everyday to work
