also, they are almost always using dpus on the morning departures, ask friendly worker
there has been talk of a heat-detector gun too, so make sure to eat a bunch of ice before the tunnel comes up outta the ocean and runs onto the island

I also heard the PE also was building under the U.S and was going to C.C in Alliance, Nebraska to connect with this new "Tea Party Express Line". I met some people who have talked about this new project they call it the Tpel. Has anyone heard of this or know when its going to be finished. I was told that it goes from Boston Harbour to Finland. That would be extreme. If anyone has more info on the Tpel let me know!

Oh, make sure to grab some rail spikes from that line if you see any lying around! Those stainless steel rail spikes are really hard to come by, and I'll pay you a nice fee for them!

Your BNSF card probably won't work too well as it's a UP line. I think BNSF might have trackage rights though, I'm not sure. I saw a BNSF unit on one of the PE trains once, though. You probably won't get arrested, though. Especially once you're out in international waters. Also, try to wear a yellow or orange bandana. Da Hui is the main group that rides that line.

For food and water, neither is necessary. It goes over the ocean, duh! Just jump in and drink up while it's sided for US Military vessels. You can also troll for fish. I caught a shark last time I was on it with nothing but a space bag and some paracord.

This is the catch out spot for the Pineapple Line. You have to wade in the water under the bridge. It's totally chill, I guess you could say. Just watch out for an old homebum who goes by Captain Ahab. He has these crazy stories about whales and stuff, it gets annoying after a while.

Hope that answered your questions.

First CC, I'll post some night shots soon. Oh ya...BNSF sure does have track rights. Notice the yard is fenced.

I'd stay away from that spot, though. I have a friend who knew a guy who got life in prison for thinking about going there. I guess the bull is a real mean guy.

pending.
Sorry if everyone got all butthurt about another Pineapple thread. Didn't realize the content in the "general banter" forum was such high-priority.
