And for the love of God, don't take chances, stay away from those people! They may be harmless, they may be predators, you'll never know it's the latter until it's too late.
Several years ago a drifter riding the rails was picked up here in Richmond, it turned out he was a serial killer preying on other drifters, and without remorse.
Please, be careful out there!
I'll reply to this, since I'm not on moderation (yet) and this idiocy of posts #1 and #2 is too obvious to resist.
Don't. Hop. Trains. It's dangerous and illegal, and you will likely get spotted, caught and charged if you don't get sick or fall off and die first.
The same goes for antagonizing others who chose to ignore the above rule, it can be hazardous to your health!

As I see you want to push this line of discussion: may I direct your attention to this, from the 'sticky' on new rules for this forum:
- No discussions about train-hopping, hobos, or the hobo lifestyle. It’s dangerous, illegal, and sets a poor example for the youth that visit this forum. Plus, like graffiti discussions, it usually leads to arguments. Brian Schmidt, Associate Editor Trains Magazine
