FYI, lots of commenters saying I called the cops. No I didn't, you obviously did not watch the video. The train is coming to a stop well before it gets to my location, in fact I almost packed up and left because it was taking so long to arrive and starting to rain. I just happened to be there with my camera and radio and this is what I saw, stop blaming the messenger. The railroad has rules where if other trains spot riders they have to report them and stop to check them out. I have no idea why local police arrived other than the train dispatcher probably called it in as part of protocol.

If you called the cops you wouldn't be the bad guy here. Quite the opposite. You would have been doing the right thing. No different than ME calling in a trespasser on YOUR property, or any other crime in progress. Trespass and violating federal law is not the mark of a hero. It's what criminals do. There's not an argument about train hopping being right or wrong. It is simply wrong. Illegal at the federal statute level. You couldn't get more black and white "wrong" than that. The only argument is "I don't want it to be wrong". There are no good reasons for it being acceptable, there are hundreds of reasons for it being wrong. But throw out all the reasons, and it still is, simply, unarguably, against the law - wrong. Here's a simple test when faced with some kind of question like this - If you were a parent, and a school teacher was telling your kids "It's ok to hop trains, even if it's against the law", would that be acceptable to you as a parent? Do what is right, always, and you'll always be right.

I was a pretty hardcore rider from 2002-2008 and rode freight trains all over but mostly the South East. We called NS “Nazi Southern” because of their strict policies against train riders. They encourage new employees to always call in tramps, and even had a worker in Irondale (B-Ham NS Yd) call to me in the woods “you can come out just wanna tell ya when next train is coming” while two local police cars were parked next to him. If they wanted to arrest me they woulda had to trek through the thick poison ivy like I had to to get away! Regardless of their policies still always preferred riding NS to CSX less trains but more efficient and less delays! Plus that paint scheme!! SEXY!

If you choose to violate a rule or a law, and you consider that "good morals", that's your personal choice. That's your set of morals.

How about if you heard an elected official or your teachers or your children say the same thing? Would you be satisfied with that elected official? Would you be proud of that offspring of yours? On "They don't hurt anyone": Yes, they do. They cause the railroad, the governments that pay for the police, and ultimately YOU, the taxpayer, and the end user, to incur costs to deal with those "Winning Hobos" who choose to violate property which is not theirs. If they do slip and "Hurt themselves", you and me will pay for the police/fire/ems/hospital/rehab/jail time/court appearances. On Winning by not getting caught: You "Win" when you do the right thing.

Trains are fascinating! They run on all steel wheels, on steel railroad tracks. Every individual freight car has its own brakes and when stopped has a few extra inches of hitch-slack, between each and all freight cars! This individual railcar slack & brake system allows the train to stop and start, one car at a time, on inclines, uphill, downhill, or on level track & how a very few train-engine cars, can pull the trailing 30 to 80 million lbs of freight-cars. Hobos did ride freight trains before 1960, used to sleepover in our neighbors hay & straw barnlofts, steal a chicken or 2, and sometimes haunt our midwest farm neighbors, only 1 to 2 miles distant.

For those griping about the unwanted passenger on the train, I now understand why railroads are sensitive about people trespassing on their property, especially if it’s a heavily used line like here. I was reminded of someone I knew of who was late for work many years ago and tried to cross between a pair of stopped rail cars, only for the train to suddenly lurch into motion, causing her to lose her balance, and then her arm at the shoulder. She ended up going back to her hometown and living on disability with family members until she passed away of old age a few years ago.

Did Mr Hobo steal that train? Steel prices are high enough to steel a box freighter. Still, I don't believe that a couple of hobo's do much damage to a train, when they just ride along. Why not add a "third class" passenger car to these trains? Give those people a way to travel for free, it's good publicity for the train company, they actually do something to help the poor. So, what's the problem? Yeah, the train owner might be responsable for their safety, you don't want fatal accidents. But, was that the case? It seldom is, I bet. And here the cops arrive for a hobo that left the tracks in time. I was told they seldom get out of their car, afraid of the weather, or magic bullets, who knows.
