trainhopping

Hey guys! I am new to trainhopping and am currently curious about the route from Lynchburg, VA to Atlanta through Greensboro on NS 13R and 25A. Has anyone been on that specific route? Security seems low in VA and NC but a bit higher in Atlanta. What time of day do they show up in your...

Heading west around Morant's Curve back in October on the CPKC Laggan Sub. Such a killer view(hence the shouting in the background).

After visiting with friends in Mission, BC my travel partner ditched me, spending the last of his money on a bus ticket home. Probably for the best after he polished off my 15 pack while I was out gathering firewood the previous night. I spent the next day walking and busing into the lower...

Some places are kinda hard to get out the way you want. Hate to have to backtrack to go forward or stay too long. Ya know like it's cool if you're traveling but I think more than a day or 2 it's time to roll out. When I hitch I have a destination for work. No day labor here. Hate to be a pain...
