I work as a railroad conductor, so I see things left behind on freight cars like blankets or empty drink bottles from time to time. I knew people hopped trains but I had no idea what it was like.

@gm21212 Many times, and I actually got nailed this past spring. $65.00 fine or it was, didn't pay it yet so its since gone up. As far as learning where trains go, one word, research. Most of train hopping is studying. At least for me that is, maybe crust punks are born with some six sense and just know..but for most of us we put a lot of work into it, no easy answers.
@wizehop Don't really get the 'anyone' part. But I was just asking because it sounded read as if he is dead or something. Thought he may have got killed whilst hopping.
Nice video, very cool. I wish the annoying music wasn't drowning out the audio though, I would like to hear what the subjects of the video are saying. Perhaps it would have been better to put the audio at a lower level?
@dragonxxx53 unfortunately most of the conversation isn't for the mass public. As much as I would like to share everything with people, its just not always possible.
@Aciddreamz420 mostly rumor..in some places you need to be more worried about other "locals" who may not like you being around..but bulls are mostly hot air.
i just started doing this, i will hop off if caught with my fucking steel toed boot right in the mother fuckers face "fuck you i wont do what you tell me" prepare for an ass beating if you see my face just let it go man i don't play!
@SheisseFicken Believe it or not....you hang you ass out of the edge, or the open floor, go about your business, then wipe. Bring toilet paper and wet wipes!
I read an LA times Article. These kids who r run aways live on trains. This kid said that he was beaten up real badly by a train yard security/custodian, who told the kid "I never forget a face; the next time I see you, I won't be nearly as merciful." Have you ever run into or heard of such problem? How do you avoid those hairy situations? I really want to travel, but I want to take pre-cautions. That is why I am asking
@SubUrbanHunter There are dangers in anything you do, sometime you just have to deal with things as they happen...that's how you learn about the world around you. I've never ran into anyone horrible but it could happen. IN train hopping its not about avoiding harry situations, its about having the confidence to deal with them. Now re moving trains, I don't recommend catching them. Find a place where trains stop and get on there.
@SubUrbanHunter First of all, you are trespassing. You are also a danger to all of the people who are trying to do their jobs. Plus you would much rather get beaten up by a bull than crushed, dismembered or have your face dragged along the ballast by a train
Hi: wize: I live near trains in San Bernardino CA. I want to hop. Do you generally wait for a train is about 3-5 miles an hour? Most trains are traveling too fast for me to safely jump on. Is there a special technique for hopping a moving train? I dont' want to get hurt. I want to see the country and see Tehachappi CA. Wut is ur technique for a moving train? Or do U just have to be patient and wait for a very slow train?
by the way i have also traveled around the world, been to india,china,malaysia,bangladesh,burma,thailand,japan,bahrain,saudi arabia. i have faced major criticism that i shouldnt travel so much by other family members and i have faced life threatning situations like Typhoid fever, caught that on my travels over in Asia. but nothing will stop me from doing what i love and to you man(Wizehop) i say life is short, live life to the fullest and do whatever you want/travel without anyone stopping you!
i use to trainhop back in the days, i trained hop from okc to california. its fun for an experience and should be done at least once in your life. but i dont recommend using it as a career guide or a permanent solution to your travels. its very dangerous and not worth the risks. just try it one time. mainly at stops where the train sits for days/hrs. hit them trains up and wait, never try to run after and jump on a running train unless you want to face decapitation or death!
@cpayne1123 research, lots of it, and they do talk about things but not always in a way you would understand if you don't know the lingo..long story short there are no easy answers, you need to do a lot of ground work.
@johnnychaos91185 As in beginning to end? a train can go from one city to another, or right across the country. They stop allot along the way so its really up to where you want to go and how long you want to go for..of course you have to know what trains go where. I've done small 2.5 hour rides all the way up to rides that lasted weeks...some have been riding for years and haven't stopped..so its really up to the rider.
@gatsu38 glad your interested....to answer your questions quickly 1) its possible to ride trains any time, but not advised,cold + no experience = certain death. 2) you need to find a ride that is safe, not all cars are safe, that comes down to common sense and experience. 3) if you cant figure stuff like this out on your own its not safe to ride trains, there are no set answers to any of these questions, you need to be able to figure things out on your own or you will basically die
@wizehop sorry i was on holiday i couldn't write you back, about the 3rd the question is: i see people getting up and down on trains completely stopped in the middle of nothing. How could i know where are this trains going or how could i find sutch places?
hey man awesome vid! Lived next to the train tracks for a long time and always thought about doing stuff like this when I was a kid, our town used to be a crew change so we got a lot of hoppers. Anyways how did you get across the border without customs finding you guys????
@wizehop This definitely looks like an adventure! Open scenery and open itinerary just go where the train goes. However do you ever meet any sketchy people? I know in the US around train yards a lot of them are sometimes ex convicts or have mental issues. Just saw a piece on the FTRA and the people looked pretty scary. Is it pretty safe and do they usually keep to themselves?
@johnnychaos91185 its easy to get caught if you don't pay attention..and no you don't have to jump off through yards...if no one sees you you have nothing to worry about.
@JoseJimeniz I'm referring to "Ardi" who wasn't a modern day Human but a hominid...so Ill give you half a point for that as I should have specified..however the point still stands firm that people have existed long before others imposed there will over groups via education systems and such.
People only have to look back at our origins to realize all boundaries in life are created by others and not by some divine destiny. Thus lies the path to spiritual freedom.
@wizehop Oh i knew what you were doing. Boundaries and limits have only been put on us recently. Those rules are so small compared to the larger picture.
But, the line just stuck out at me, *4.4 million years? Ummm, that doesn't sound right to me.*
@RobertMOdell maybe a model train crash with that little fire......I think something like that would probobly end my train days, both as a foamer and a rider.
Beautiful video! Very well done, and edited together perfectly! 5/5
I just have one question. Do you guys know why the train was stopped, then picked up speed, and then stopped again around 3:15 - 3:31, or were those two different trains?
@WampusGK Thanks man.....They were different trains. The first one was leaving the yard heading East and we were catching a train heading west. It was a big train yard and there were lots of trains. The scene where we are climbing up over the hill is a different place from where we had been running form. The first time we ran up the hill we walked back along the train but couldn't find a good ride, so we got back into the woods at the end of the yard. For the next train we had to run back.
@Websters52 Nice man, I haven't really tagged any freights in a while..not sure why but just never think of it anymore...glad to know there getting around even if I'm not!
Saw Duel filming 03/08/10 at CPR North Toronto sub near Dupont Ave. around 1100hrs - dudes, black is the absolute worst colour choice if you don't want to be seen!
@fatinthemiddle well you could ride to Edmundston or Moncton, however its a bit of a tour from Toronto..if you have never ridden trains before I wouldn't recommend undertaking the trip, It can be a bit complicated. You could try a shorter ride.
i like your little theory about the way people should be living, but i was wondering what your doing other than jumping on slowmoving trains to try and fix it.. or is that as far as it goes hero
@ytfrtnmhfm actually I climb on stopped trains..if you know where they stop then you never need to catch moving ones. There is nothing to fix..the world is the way it is..its up to people to live their lives how they want, not by what others say they should want.
@wizehop even more dangerous and life-threatening. And i completely agree with you , except i wonder what your living for? just for the exhileration of trainhopping? If you followed your thoughts to their logical conclusions you would agree that using the argument "its the way it is" is a little childish and simply a way to ignore realities instead of facing them...?
@ytfrtnmhfm man I have no idea what your talking about here. I am not ignoring any reality what so ever..I am enjoying my life...I have a good job, I own rental properties, I have traveled the world numerous times and I do a lot more than just riding trains, I do what ever I want as a matter of fact. I accepted reality a long time ago and its the reason I am free to do what I want now. What is anyone living for..Jesus Christ? Budda? Mohamed? please clarify your point?
@wizehop I guess im trying to hard to start an argument, im not sure why really..
i just feel like if someone really believes that people around them are living their lives in a lie, he should try to do something to fix that, give them awareness of their situation.. I agree with your ideas; so should i just live my life and have a great time or try to show people truth so they can think for themselves as well? Basically is it a big free for all or are we in this together..
@wizehop have you heard the allegory of Plato's cave? Whats the right thing to do - stay away from the cave and have a great time, frolicking in the newfound sunlight, or go back down there and set everyone free, even if it means you never leave..
@ytfrtnmhfm The problem here is that its only my perspective, I cant really tell people how to live their lives because there is no one way to live. Some people dont want to be rescued and thats fine. Whether there to afraid to break free or they just like being herded its not my business. All we can do is share our experiences with each other and let people get from it what they may.....The fact is we will never have a concrete resolution on life as long as we are living.
@wizehop I guess i feel compassion for people who do not have either the intelligence or the strength of will to break free from situations and lives that truly imprison them, and this makes me want to help them in any way I can.. We may never have an absolute resolution but if there are degrees of concreteness, then as our human impulses for empathy and compassion demand, must we help progress the lesser aware individuals? Or does a more concrete definition of life demand individualism..
@ytfrtnmhfm Unfortunately I don't think there is a set answer for that. The problem is who is to say that my way of thinking, or your way is "the way is should be". And what direction is progress.... It all comes down to perspective and the only truth is that all concepts are man made..wright, wrong, good bad... doesn't really exists. There is no such thing as progress. The reality is every one is right where they want to be.
@wizehop "...It all comes down to perspective and the only truth is that all concepts are man made..wright, wrong, good bad... doesn't really exists..."
"Good" and "bad/evil" exists wizehop - I know...I have been there. It's where the monsters are.
@wizehop i never even mentioned god its been a while since i ever even did in a conversation. i thought you would understand my points i suppose i was wrong. Read some Plato it'll do you some good.
FUCK PEOPLE WHO SAY i GOTTA LIVE THERE WAY...WORD WIZEHOP..THIS IS THE AGE OF INFORMATION..ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE RELIGION IS ON ITS KNEES. PROPS FOR STICKEN TO WHAT YOU LOVE

I was planning to hitch hike from toronto to Fredericton with my bivy in few weeks to go to a wedding any thoughts about hopping?

@fatinthemiddle well you could ride to Edmundston or Moncton, however its a bit of a tour from Toronto..if you have never ridden trains before I wouldn't recommend undertaking the trip, It can be a bit complicated. You could try a shorter ride.

i like your little theory about the way people should be living, but i was wondering what your doing other than jumping on slowmoving trains to try and fix it.. or is that as far as it goes hero
ytfrtnmhfm 1 year ago
@ytfrtnmhfm actually I climb on stopped trains..if you know where they stop then you never need to catch moving ones. There is nothing to fix..the world is the way it is..its up to people to live their lives how they want, not by what others say they should want.
wizehop 1 year ago
@wizehop even more dangerous and life-threatening. And i completely agree with you , except i wonder what your living for? just for the exhileration of trainhopping? If you followed your thoughts to their logical conclusions you would agree that using the argument "its the way it is" is a little childish and simply a way to ignore realities instead of facing them...?
ytfrtnmhfm 1 year ago
@ytfrtnmhfm man I have no idea what your talking about here. I am not ignoring any reality what so ever..I am enjoying my life...I have a good job, I own rental properties, I have traveled the world numerous times and I do a lot more than just riding trains, I do what ever I want as a matter of fact. I accepted reality a long time ago and its the reason I am free to do what I want now. What is anyone living for..Jesus Christ? Budda? Mohamed? please clarify your point?
wizehop 1 year ago
@wizehop I guess im trying to hard to start an argument, im not sure why really..
i just feel like if someone really believes that people around them are living their lives in a lie, he should try to do something to fix that, give them awareness of their situation.. I agree with your ideas; so should i just live my life and have a great time or try to show people truth so they can think for themselves as well? Basically is it a big free for all or are we in this together..

@wizehop have you heard the allegory of Plato's cave? Whats the right thing to do - stay away from the cave and have a great time, frolicking in the newfound sunlight, or go back down there and set everyone free, even if it means you never leave..
ytfrtnmhfm 1 year ago
@ytfrtnmhfm The problem here is that its only my perspective, I cant really tell people how to live their lives because there is no one way to live. Some people dont want to be rescued and thats fine. Whether there to afraid to break free or they just like being herded its not my business. All we can do is share our experiences with each other and let people get from it what they may.....The fact is we will never have a concrete resolution on life as long as we are living.
wizehop 1 year ago
@wizehop I guess i feel compassion for people who do not have either the intelligence or the strength of will to break free from situations and lives that truly imprison them, and this makes me want to help them in any way I can.. We may never have an absolute resolution but if there are degrees of concreteness, then as our human impulses for empathy and compassion demand, must we help progress the lesser aware individuals? Or does a more concrete definition of life demand individualism..
ytfrtnmhfm 1 year ago
@ytfrtnmhfm Unfortunately I don't think there is a set answer for that. The problem is who is to say that my way of thinking, or your way is "the way is should be". And what direction is progress.... It all comes down to perspective and the only truth is that all concepts are man made..wright, wrong, good bad... doesn't really exists. There is no such thing as progress. The reality is every one is right where they want to be.
