Hey Cole! Shoot me any helpful links you find on this site for train hopping! I'm looking to train ho as well in the future and I've read a few things about it, but the number one advice I keep seeing is to find someone else to show you the ropes so you don't get caught and you don't end up accidentally killing yourself. The hardest part seems to be the research and "stakeouts" for the trains in your area so you know which ones leave when and which direction they are headed. There's apparently a low-key sort of manual that gives you the ins and outs of the trains over the country, but it's not available online; you gotta meet someone in person to get that kind of information. Let me know what information you find is helpful for your journey; I'd love to take a look!
