You've heard about the Pineapple line, right?
It's this super-badass route that UP takes straight from Seattle to the Hawaii islands. I've ridden it like six or seven times! It's a freight train that goes straight under the ocean! For hundreds and hundreds of miles!

Post all your radical stories about riding the elusive Pineapple line here!

By the way, if you haven't ridden Pineapple yet, you're probably another fucking oogle, bro.

I was riding the Pineapple Express back in '86. For some reason, we didn't crew change at the big island; I had to hop off on the fly at 60 knots when I saw land. Turned out I had gotten off at Kalaupapa at the leprosy colony. But they turned out to be cool, I drank hella forties with them before I got back on the Pineapple Express.

Back in '81 after I got back in the states,I wound up living in la petit roche,and had a job working at one of the non-union railcar repair shops.You could always tell when a PE car came in,the saltwater always destroyed the truck springs,and the damned barnacles were at least 4 inches thick.They really have improved things since those days,what with poly coating the rolling stock to keep the little buggers from getting a grip.

I caught the pineapple express on the fly, by diving off a boat in the pacific and drilling a hole into the tunnel. Then I just waited until it was going under me and dropped down straight into a gondola. Unfortunately, I got pulled off by a tribal bull at an unmarked desert island. I didn't understand him, but he made it clear that the penalty for getting pulled off at that particular island was being eaten by the tribe. He made this clear by tying me to a pole and hanging me over a fire, while speaking angrily in a strange language and jabbing his spear at me fiercely. Luckily, I managed to use my pocket knife to cut myself free, jumped off a cliff, beat a shark into submission, and rode it the rest of the way to Hawaii.

No, from him. He wasn't a beginner, he'd just never heard the joke before. Didn't think he'd take it seriously. Went all the way to Seattle to try to catch it, and all the Seattle kids laughed at him when he told them what he was doing. I felt bad, but I still maintain it was kinda funny.
