I have to assume some people still hop trains. At the very least some crust punk squatter types probably do
There's nowhere to go on a train tho. They're all tanks and shipping containers.
I assume train hoppers have tricks to get inside boxcars. Also there are different types of cars besides tank cars and boxcars, like coil cars:
And open-top hopper cars:
That's my point, I never see boxcars anywhere.
When you say shipping containers, do you mean these guys?
Yes. I work next to a train yard and 90% of what I see are these guys.
Interesting. In my neck of the woods, I mostly see boxcars and tank cars. When I lived in the western US I would see those a lot though.
