freight trains

    Hope to travel near end of June via freight, looking for people with experience.

    So far, a friend of mine named Gage and I are going to hopefully hitch hike/train hop throughout the US after June 20th. We are looking for people to join us who may have experience or knowledge on freight hopping. We think that getting a small group together would be beneficial. Don't be shy!!!!

    Lost all meaning, hoping to find some on the freight train.

    I don't really know if anyone reads these and everything I have to say has, I'm sure, been said before, but here it is: Both of my best friends died, three months apart. Since that happened I don't know where to go or what to do or how to move because everything seems entirely fucking...

    I didn't see it posted elsewhere and folks periodically inquire about overseas travel, so I decided to post this. As I was researching stuff for some IBRR riders in Wales, I ran across this site. It gives some fairly decent links and good background data for England and the EU connectors...

    Narcotics and freight trains. What went wrong?

    CN train crew change at Sudbury, Ontario. I have now been sober since December 2nd of 2006. For nearly 17 years while hopping freight trains, I was drinking right at about 45 to 50 cans of beer a day, every day, 365 days a year for 17 years solid! So after I stopped this nonsense, I thought...
