As a truck driver that has made the drive from Chicago to LA plenty of times…I’ve always wondered if people still train hopped and my guy, you are having one hell of an experience! Stay safe, and really live in the moment. Also I subbed 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
Kevin, you have some hard bark on you to hang tough in the weather conditions and even tougher bark to sleep on moving steel. At 70 I have to say it's damn neat seeing you make you way, I hope you stay lucky and safe. Thanks for the ride!
My grandfather was at Texas A&M college in the forties and decided to hop a freight train to get home for Christmas break. He hopped on right behind the tender where all the coal for the engine was stored. He said the train had some kind of a scoop to take on water from the side of the tracks without stopping, and when it did this it splashed all over him and drenched him. He hung on getting colder and colder until he saw some lights beside the track and jumped off. He went into a building and by a stroke of luck a man found him freezing and took him down to a boiler room and put a blanket on him. He says he might have died if he wasn't warmed up. He never hopped a train again lol.
Your grandfather was probably full of shit like most other criminals who do shit like this - he just wanted to feel special and tell you a goofy story.
@@Knitting_n_Trucking ..Riding Greyhound at least you know where you're going and when you're going the Get there, heated seat and a hell of a lot quieter, less vibration, i'd say Grayhound's a hundred percent Luxury in comparison to Train hopping, ..🚍🛤️
@@MD76MAC I don't think you know how loud cold and drafty a freight really is. When those trains go up through mountain passes at night and it can get brutally cold and you can't always just jump off a moving train when you get too cold, and a lot of times, even if you could, you'd be stuck out in a remote isolated area. They do find stow aways frozen to death in box cars. If it doesn't kill you it can do a number on your Nervous system. The vibration is about violent enough to rattle your teeth and guts right out your ass hole🕳️
Great video! Ever since I was a little girl (50+ yrs) I've always dreamed of train hopping across the country. I pictured my stick with a red bandana tied to the end of it with everything I need in there. lol. Something about the go with the flow adventure of it all has always appealed to me. Stay safe. Blessings.
@@georgewashington3393 yes I know that now, as a grown woman who has backpacked with everything I need in my pack. Obviously I’d have the necessary gear, which would most definitely 👍 include a stick & a red bandana, just not like I pictured when I was 5 yrs old. 😂
Man I hope you know what your doing is awesome! Most people live basic boring lifes and when there old there gonna wish “ I should have done this or should have done that” you gonna look back like damn i did that!! Much love and respect to you brother stay safe!
I used to do this kinda stuff from like ages 14 to like 25. Im 30 now and fortunately able to consistently make more money than i spend but its so friggin expensive to trade off a few weeks of making money to spending more money throughout that time. The opportunity cost is way higher relative to how expensive it is even to live simply, than it was 10 years ago by a ridiculous amount. This guy wont sell his sense of adventure for money and probably is now making a solid amount from yt. And gets to do both. That's just absolutely brilliant and im in awe 🙏
Man, you are so right. We all think about doing all these amazing things but never follow thru. Having the balls to do what he's done is next level. Props to him
It’s so cool too see that you were like 5 miles from where I live in Chicago and ended up 5 miles from where my family in California lives 😂. Nice scenery be safe on your travels.
@nickdee5764 Yeah Shoestring Drowned in the lake behind his Unit block if you search on RUclips you'll find videos about Shoestring passing away, it was like almost 6 months ago now
Nice video. I'm 71 now, but I used to ride the highline from the midwest out to Everett/Seattle in the early 1970's. Burlington Northern bulls were relatively tolerant of us Dirty Kids. I was about your age and had no money. But I could live on nothing by hopping and scrounging. As the years went on, dopers and tweakers seemed to take over, but it looks like you are pretty clean. Though I admit that it's hard to socialize in the hobo camps without partaking in some beer or whiskey or weed. Somewhere out west I ran into a respectable-looking guy who suggested that there was a way I could travel wherever I wanted and not have to pay anything. I said: 'That can't be, there's gotta be some catch." He said: "No catch, you really can do that." So I asked him how. And he said, go back to school and study absolutely as hard as you can. So I figured why not try that. He was right. 50 years later I am still in Seattle but I travel pretty much wherever I want, and everything is paid for.
I live right by the train yard in Fort Worth. My pops was asking me why he always sees young "hippies" with dogs by the railyard Jack in the Box. I told him they are train hoppers, amd its a pretty big culture. He said didnt that die with the hobos! Keep moving my friend!
Hobos are still alive. I know because I am one. Currently a barnacle though. I like being homeless but I’m not that fond of traveling. I just did the Oregon trail for the 4th time in my life. Not by train though
Man thats rough dude. I get mad when I cant get a flight out from where I live and have to drive to LAX. If your looking for work in Irvine CA. I can get you a interview for a union place make around 23hr to start 12hr shifts so lots of ovetime
I am envious of you I've always wanted to do something like that and this video reminded me of me when. I was about your age. I had the long hair and the same wanderlust and used to play around the tracks behind my grandpa's house and I've always told my grandpa one day I'm going to just jump on the train and ride it till it stopped and I've never been able to do that and now I'm too old to even think of such fun.. So thank you young man for letting me ride along that was cool! More videos please !! Lol 😊
glad you made itt safely! Stay warm! I twisted my knee in October so I couldnt hop out of Wisco. Played some poker and won some good cash but opted to trade up for a pop-up camper and ride the season out whille i get healed up. Stay dry, stay warm, stay vigilante, & stay alive! Maybe see you bouncin around in '25 💚

Wow. I honestly would maybe try this...15 years ago, haha. Alas with a daughter and wife, they probably wouldn't appreciate me leaving to hop trains to the west coast. Watching this, though, gives me that feeling so thank you!
You have balls. Me and friend tried to do this in 2008 between my last year of high school. Would’ve been Vegas to hopefully LA. We even got on and bailed right before taken off. Middle of summer it was at least 108 degrees out. Irony is I would later work for Union Pacific lol

Great video,during late 80s I used to jump on cargo trains,from SanDiego to SanJuan Capistrano in Cali,sometimes from San Diego to Santa Anna,the only difference was that I didn’t have any food or snacks in my backpack 😂,take care and keep raiding,God bless you 😊
45 years ago I worked on unloading railroad freight cars, there were some beat up cars back then and the doors were so rusty that we couldn’t open them by hand or with crowbars. We had a large gas powered fork lift with a big chain and hook. We would get a running start and pull those doors open and sometimes they would come completely off. I was always expecting to find a body inside because if you get in a boxcar with an open door and the train stops abruptly the door will slide and close on you and you will never get out. On the boxcars that had sliding bulkhead partitions inside they could literally squish you against the other bulkhead door if the cars slam to a stop.
Back when I was painting trains. I would make sure to remember the identification number on the car that I had pieced up, and then after a day or so, I'd call the phone number to whoever owned the rail line that car was on and run a check on it's current location, destination, etc.
Don’t know why or how this posted on my feed, but yea I’m feeling this kid. I work everyday living a boring fucking life and he is just free. Ain’t easy doing what he do but God it looks free. Stay up K, and be safe. Just subscribed too.

Weird question but should you use hearing protection when on the trains? Seems like it gets really loud.
Good question, the screeching was loud af

Something I never thought I'd say: "This is perfect train-hopping music" lmao 😂
How does one know what train to hop to go to whatever destination you’re going to?
Yes
Back when I was painting trains. I would make sure to remember the identification number on the car that I had pieced up, and then after a day or so, I'd call the phone number to whoever owned the rail line that car was on and run a check on it's current location, destination, etc.
He clearly doesn't he keeps commentingthat hes not sure what direction the train was taking. Luck of the draw. 🤷
They don’t
He doesn't but he knows the general direction and just goes with it. Headed west
You should get those hot hand warmers to keep warm train hoping looks litt cool video 🎉
Nice to see you back Kevin. Hope all is well. Stay safe.
The jazzy tune by Chris Tiano was a bonus! Cool vid.
These videos are filling a Stobe the Hobo sized hole in my heart.
Thought you were gonna say arse
Incredible video you are blessed with a great attitude and spirit my rail riding friend
Haven't seen a good train video since Stobe the Hobo (RIP). Thanks for the video. Be careful!
He was a good man
@@OneshotMovementhe was a drunk. Hobo shoestring was a better train hopper. I think drinking did him in also.
@@Oxtcxst kinda weird, alcohol led to the death of both.
Love your enthusiasm Kido and a lighthearted approach to the brutal life
Don’t know why or how this posted on my feed, but yea I’m feeling this kid. I work everyday living a boring fucking life and he is just free. Ain’t easy doing what he do but God it looks free. Stay up K, and be safe. Just subscribed too.
I stay home everyday, take care of pets now . Kids gone . Just know a job isn't the problem . We all still work all day no matter if you have a pay check or not .
Nice job. Good shots of scenery without showing too much - your timing is good. Commerce CA - heck you're right in LA. Chill out. Of course I realize that was back in March.
What happens if you get caught? I've hopped amtraks before when i needed to travel but didnt have the money but this is hardcore 😂
