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.

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

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.)

Sheiy is one I watch. He is a big train jumper. Pretty cool channel.
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.
