I met a young train hopper a few years ago in my tiny hometown in Texas. His name was Adam & he was about 24. He had a dog with him. I spent 2-3 hrs with him just chatting & smoking cigarettes. He had some interesting things to say. Taught me a lot about hopping a train such as how to judge if it's going to fast to hop & which cars are the best & worst to sleep on. How to deal with "bulls" & lots of other interesting things. He had the word lost tattooed understand his left eye with the "s" in train tracks. He kept referring to himself & other young train hoppers as "dirty kids". Very interesting young man

better believe they take care of the dogs more than self. dogs are your love, family, friend, only living contact for weeks on end. also have high functioning utility to guard, if trained hunt, search. if a person isn't a dog lover they aren't using them. people who only spend a few hours with dog a day often cite they love dogs more than people, now multiply that. and if shit gets real or misfortune kills your pet you can eat meat I suppose never done or seen it because emotions for dog trump hunger but I'm sure it's happened

Bullshit. The dogs are sacrificed. You wanna know how many fell off the trains and died a cruel painful death? Wanna see a photo? I saw one of an innocent dog chopped up by the train and it is traumatizing just to see. Dogs don't end up well. One was recently raped by one of these animals, and died innpain. The owner did absolutely nothing, did not even report it for the culprit to at least be exposed and hopefully found and locked up . The gangs ride those trains, they rape and kill. (Main gang was called FTRA) Quite a few innocent humans were killed by these losers. Even in the rare case that a dog survives the rails , the poor dog has to inhale the toxic fumes inside tunnels, and won't have water unless the druggy or drunken owner remembers to offer water to the dog. Most of these young hoppers are meth heads and drunks, or/and small rail gangs. They made it dangerous and they screwed it up for all the honest people. Because of them now the security is tripled and they even arrest you . They screwed it up for everybody. They also ride drunk ,on drugs, unsafe, causing more deaths under the trains.

You see areas that may be only 100 yards away from roadways.....but trains travel behind industrial buildings (like on SEPTA R# lines) and through areas of dense forest where the nearest road is more than 500 yards away (like the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line).

But not sure if one still needs to buy a hunting license or not. Just that alone would require having money and therefor be forcing your indoctrination into the capitalist system.

You learn how to take your time and listen to people's stories. And you appreciate this wonderful continent. You can sense the cosmic energy shifts when you move away from big shities radiation. Radiation makes you anxious and disoriented. That along with social pressures is a bitter cocktail and a recipe for insanity. When you are in the wilderness you connect back to your original self. I also became a believer in miracles. I have a book to write. I have saved people from death, people have saved me. I have seen miracles with my own two eyes. I have taken notes on our cultural changes. I have come across information that would flipp anybody's world upside down. I had to fight off coyote's in the dark. Came across a snake hole in Texas wile trying to find a place to lay my sleeping bag and heard all the rattling when the wind slowed down. It was really loud. Found out about the corruption in some counties in the USA. Crooks that just want to jail you for existing. Police brutality is common in the USA. All the hustles of the craft.

Plot twist: he sees his mom everywhere since he murdered her at age 11, now the psychosis from the childhood sexual abuse and syphilis contracted from one of his moms boyfriends is so severe he murderes women that look like his mom because he thinks she is still alive and is working with federal agents to try and kill him now... And that's why he rides trains every day, to escape justice for all those murders based on mistaken identity cause by the hallucinations... Poor ol'crazy green shirt

+Adam Sine Exactly what I was thinking. It has its draw but what you give up is not worth the adventure if you were to make this your life. The danger you face and little protection or advocacy. Imagine all of the dangerous people these youth encounter and never being able to lawfully carry a side arm to protect yourself. the threat of arrest is constant. Regardless i always had a dream of riding the rails and wanted to do a documentary on modern day hobo life. good work thank you for making this.

Exactly. When I ride a bus the cheap perfume is unbearable. Unless they r well off in a nice house rich neighborhood most people's inside environment is unhealthy, unclean and unhygienic. They get colds lasts 2 weeks. We get colds lasts 2 days. Ha! Especially in the desert, outside is self cleaning. The archaic, outdated construction of domiciles is unhealthy but that industry will NOT allow any foreign or new methods because they profit from planned obsolescence (shitty products will need to be replaced thus more purchases). It seems only rich adventurous people build eco homes or something based on traditional foreign design where Nature is part of what makes the house run. Most people DO NOT clean their living spaces properly and overuse\misuse cleaning agents. I'd rather sleep outside. Period.

the truth is,if you have been riding the rails for long at all, you have many places you can go to settle in ,get a job and live a "normal life". all the bitching about cant get a job is all bullshit. but most kids bitch like that. the truth is you live this way because its the life that you love. theres no need to blame anybody for it. me and the ppl i travelled with worked. we had trades and skills. we just didnt like to stay put. you can be happy where you are,and then one day you see someone you know,or see a hitch hiker.or just hear the train.and you have to go. its something we are born with,and if you dont have it you will never understand.

@khammac87729 жыл бұрын
Exactly! I did it for years. Would hitchhike my way to the Detroit Rail yards and not give a shit where it took me. Got the hell beat out of me a couple of times and a couple of near-death experiences. Watched one of my best friends get his legs cut off. Went to jail more than a few times but lived my own version of the American Dream. Got to experience Mother Earth like so few ever will. I got to experience the stars. I got to experience a feel of community that many will never understand. And yes, there were those times when I would find some place to house up and get a job and live normally but soon thereafter, the itch comes and I would have to go again. Music and freedom were my husband and wife. And it's true, even to this day 20 some years later, when I hear a train whistle something pulls at me, whispering "adventure calls. Let's go!" Fortitude becomes me. Loved every minute of it, the good the bad and the oh so ugly.

K Hammac I'm afraid it may be hereditary ,my wife and I have 20 mo old twins,and the boy can't stand being at home. He wakes up in the morning saying bye bye. My dad was a truck driver for twenty yrs and up until I met my wife 4 yrs ago,I have spent my whole life traveling since I was 17. I stopped riding the rails at about 22 and got a motorcycle. But the lifestyle has a lot in common with hopping and hitchhiking. When I met my wife I had an old Yamaha that looked like it hadn't sat still since it was born.i made many trips between NC and fl on it.and rode it from Orlando to OK. The only thing in this world that keeps me off the road is my family. And there are times at 44 yrs old that I still ache for the freedom of the road.
