People chose that lifestyle out of desperation,and currently there is no shortage of despair.By observing yard operations,one can learn schedules,patterns and behaviors of a railroad.But if you want to shorten the learning curve,just ask an operating employee.It is my experience that nine out of ten people are forthcoming with information with respect to schedules,departure and arrival times,destinations and most anything you want to know.I acknowledge that hopping trains is illegal and extremely dangerous,but to satisfy my appetite for railroading,I can either work for a railroad,or be an amateur who takes an occasional ride on a grain hopper;I'll take my chances with the latter.Knowledge and safety are paramount.Many will find this statement ludicrous and contadictory and I certainly understand,but commute to work each day is far more dangerous.
