Hey guys. New to the forum. Have been reading and watching alot of videos about train hopping. Looking to plan a trip for my first ride. I'd love to go about finding someone or other people to catch on with. I was considering just jumping on the first ride that leaves Newark, Trenton, or philly and get out of this terrible state forever. If anyone knows which yards in the area are hot. I imagine it's really hard your first time. Would love an experienced traveler to show me the ropes. Thanks in advance guys.
