• Conseils et citations en vrac:
  • “Rule of thumb was if you couldn’t focus on an individual wheel nut as it rotated, it was going too fast to jump “on the fly.” “
  • “Another way was running next to the train and if you could keep your hand on the ladder and run fast enough that your hand wouldn’t be pulled forward , it was doable. “
  • Bandana noir: FTRA, danger à l’époque, dans le montana (ou entre Seattle et Chicago)
  • "FTRA colors: black bandana for the high line, red bandana for the southern Sunset Route (low line), and blue bandana for the UP Superhighway between Oakland and Chicago (mid line). Green: Greenhorn (pied tendre)"
  • "Montana, which had been a tramp haven for nearly a hundred years, passed draconian new railroad trespassing laws that carried a penalty of up to six months in jail. The police response to violent felonies committed by people allegedly members of FTRA just about ruined trainhopping in the Pacific Northwest."
  • "If there is a device that is blinking a red light on the end of a string, this means that the train is going into a facility to be broken up or unloaded. Don’t get on it."
• France / Europe:
  • “But yeah, it is possible to ride freights in Europe. There was a collective that did it outta France pretty extensively, and more recently some radd migrants use it to get through the Eurotunnel into my shitty rainy country . The problem is the system is a lot less regular than in the US, so you can't figure out crewchanges/directions ahead of time, and the train tracks will also frequently be shared with passenger trains. The distances are a lot shorter, and the stops way more frequent. Nobody will ever help you, and you will likely never meet anybody else doing it. Also, you get caught, you face serious jail time in some places.”
