Train hopping through Oregon

This is footage from a pushing unit of a coal train I hopped in September 2010. I caught out in Spokane, Washington and arrived in Boardman, Oregon about 20 hours later

you are stupid!!!! This is called tresspassing on railroad property!!! Youa can get arrested for this and lucky you didnt...

[MRSEXY4EVER]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan haha yeah i've been caught a couple times. if you dont have a shitty attitude they'll let you go. that's the problem with traveling kids these days, they act like uppity, insolent shitheads, so they have problems with the police and general public

was that back compartment abandoned? are they always like that

[MRSEXY4EVER]

@xCrustGrindingVeganx Yeah, the back ones are empty about 90% of the time. I found out of the ten percent when climbing up the ladder of a moving unit and having the conductor stick his head out the window and look me dead in the eyes. Needless to say, I had to bail that ride

Nice little video.

I got a question for you, why is the bell on? You turn it on?

If you get sometime you should check out some of my train videos.

[MRSEXY4EVER]

@widerstand

yeah I was wondering the same thing. I don't know if I turned it on by accident or if it was already on when I hopped it

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@MRSEXY4EVER I'm surprised they let you go actually lol

[Topgeneral3070]

Holy Christ that is a beautiful view. You are one lucky lad.

[johnnychaos91185]

@MRSEXY4EVER what happens then? Do they notify someone to come after you or do you just tear out somewhere?

[NonPr0ph3t]

You're luck you found one with an engine in the back, it must be carrying a heavy load. All the ones around here are really fast and only have one engine, they're not easy to hop onto : /

LMFAO! Man what a ride...i used 2 do this back in the day b4 the railroad police got like the fu**in milatary wouldnt wanna get caught these days the pricks would probly make it harsh on u...great video man:-)

[MrMCD191]

@MRSEXY4EVER I believe it is because the units pushing on the rear of the train are controlled remotely from the leading engine. Any action that the engineer commands the head locomotive to do, the rear pushers will respond the same way. So when the engineer pressed the button to ding the bell, the rear locomotives did the same.

haha wow nice , its like ur own lil first class room so that 90 % seems to come in handy. did you bail out right away?
