Anyone ever hop freight trains?
I'm sure this type of adventure has to be someone's brand of adventure.

3. Great way to get dead.
Don't do this unless you know that there is a really good chance that it will kill or main you.

4. Does that still happen? My great-grandfather lived that life,
after he got hit in one of the "panics" during the Gilded Age. He died in a rail yard. Left my great-grandmother on her own and bitter for a number of years. There's an excellent song, "I never knew my grandad" by Ed Trickett, describes the whole thing very well.
