i know 2 kids from my youth that have 1 leg because of hopping trains and said the pain was extreme and than came the shock of looking at his leg laying there on the other side of the rail with his new sneaker on his foot
wow, that sounds like it would be a horrible experience. once you loose a limb, you cant get it back. i almost lost my lower leg/foot one time, i didn't even think about it until afterwards.
Got you some nice photo footage . I do miss hoboing did it in late 80's . Closest I could get to it were about 25 years of truckin for several unpleasant sorts . Can't seem to shake the traveling addiction so will become an expat soon . Gonna gypsy travel some of the world. Safe travels brother and keep heading East .
Traveling is definitely an addiction, but a good addiction. I hope you have a good time with your travels, be safe man, thanks for checking out the video 🇺🇸
You where not seen. it was most likely a car stuck on a level crossing. It could have also been a mechanical failure of the break pressurization system in the locomotive.
true, that is a possibility. but the train stopped in the middle of the branchline and i saw someone in a bright green vest exit the locomotive, which was very unusual. i just ran to be safe.
