Am glad that conductor didn't snitch! Good stuff, sir! Wild, wonderful WV is unparalleled in natural beauty! I lived there for 15 years... Miss it sometimes. That tipple and old unit were neat! 12:10 👍 I like how you edited this, and how you slowed the footage down for interesting stuff. I hope you're well! Stay safe and thanks for sharing! 👍👌😊
Thanks dude. WV is definitely a special place. On that ride some foamers snitched me out, kinda got pulled off in bfe Virginia. It wasn't that big of a deal besides having to walk 7 miles to the nearest town. The bull told me the foamers called in from Ohio. Apparently the bulls between there and Virginia didn't see me so they didn't stop the train. He said he saw my feet so he stopped it. I was off the train by the time he showed up so he could really do much besides take my info...he gave me water and pointed me towards Christiansburg VA. No harm no foul🍻
@@fleotusbing nah just ran my id for warrants no pictures. Said it was up to him if I was getting a trespassing warning. He told me since I was respectful, he cut me a break. He was pretty chill...and yea screw those foamers. I saw them on an overpass South of Toledo filming with a tripod, they pointed and waved at me. Then turned around and snitched me out 🤦
man west virginia is just beautiful. Like a mysty, lonely "jungle" with lots of wilderness. I remember the first time I train hopped through west virginia. I was 17 years old, alone, and hundreds of miles from home. No one knew where I was, but I didn't care because I was having too much fun lol. 100% my favorite state to train hop through. Awesome video. Cant wait until your next one.
Sick story dude. WV is absolutely beautiful. It's up there with Washington to me. I'm excited to get up thru bluegrass country Tennessee and Kentucky way. Stay free and safe dude.
Dude that was an epic ride! And great video. Much more beautifull area than i was in in WV. And that old coal mine was awesome. You think those camera's were legit? And how far did you make it?
Right on dude. WV was a beautiful ride. The cams were solar powered so most likely not monitored but I wasn't gonna be leaving my gear on the train to explore. I didn't plan on getting more than a 100yrds from my ride. I've got about 4500miles this year so far. I made it down thru NC to the coast by Wilmington NC. Found some good work, caught a Greyhound out to meetup with old friends in SC. Now I'm in Bama, planning on hopping to Birmingham then up Nashville way next week. I'm considering hiking the Florida trail this summer but I'm just keeping on keeping on brother 🍻
At the 1 minute mark, that was definitely the hills near Chillicothe. The rail overpass in the next shot is the CSX which passes over NS in Chillicothe.
Howdo pal WTFMIKE suggested watching, I like it, used to watch Hobo Shoestring until he sadly passed, guy was a legend imo, knew more about the pacific & Union stuff than the railroads themselves i think, subscribed from Scotland, safe travels 👍
Hey bro glad to see ya keeping it moving. What is the final destination. You coming back south to FLA again??? God bless I’ll be praying for you my brother.
I appreciate that dude. No final destination just riding to ride for now. I'm planning on riding the Florida West Coast line this winter but I'm considering hiking the Florida trail 🤷
