Train Hopping
Have you ever wanted to go and hop a freight train? I know it's dangerous, but if you're safe and don't try to climb whatever car you're traveling on and you don't make a scene you can stay safe and hidden. If I didn't need to make money I would probably like to travel the world via freight train.

Re: Train Hopping
It's really illegal in most areas to do it.
BUT...
It sounds exciting and a rush to actually attempt it LOL

Re: Train Hopping
Lol right?! Sometimes most people might just get a ticket or a warning, but I suppose if you got caught a couple of times you'd end up in jail lol. I watch a few Youtubers that are hobos, Yard Buzzards is the main channel I watch. I used to watch another one called Shoestring Hobo, but he sadly passed away last year. (It wasn't a train related accident, he drowned in a lake not far from his house.)HikerShawn wrote: Wed Oct 08, 2025 6:17 pm It's really illegal in most areas to do it.

Over here, they have an entire private police force for each railway company. They'll take you to jail if they catch you hopping a train.
