Saturday I rode into Indianapolis' Hawthorne yard and it was late as shit so I decided to sleep in a empty refrigerated boxcar (cause it was like 1 or 2 am). I woke up in the middle of the night with a slamming sound, and i knew before i opened my eyes what that sound was... It was the sound of a boxcar door being closed. so I ran to the door and yelled and beat on it but no answer. so i thought "shit this train is taking off anytime now." so i got my crecent wrench out of my pack. I continued to beat on it for about 5 or 6 hours, and it still did not move. so finally i sat down and started to be thinking i was gonna die in it cause i had no food or water, and hawthorne yard is really small and always kindof dead. then i faintly heard a sound. I knew this sound, it was the faint sound of tires on gravel, and the faint sound of a truck engine. so i grabbed my wrench and beat on it. heard the truck stop, and then i heard "Beep Beep Beep" like a truck backing up. so i beat again. then i heard someone hit the door from the outside. so i hit it again. then i "saw the light" when the worker was opening the plug-door. i jumped out grabbed my shit and the worker asked "how long have you been in there?" and i replied "i went to sleep about 1 or 2 am, then someone colsed the door and i yelled but he did not answer." and the guy said "No one was working afer dark last night, and no one is working today except me cause this train has got to go." so then i left.
