I love the photos! I come from a town that's big in the railroading and every once in a while I run into people that they've pulled off the trains when they stop to do crew changes, they've always got great stories! I've wanted to do this for a while but haven't gotten a chance.. Hopefully someday!

They're all great, but the last one is one of the most mesmerizing photos I've ever seen.

I could see the last one framed poster sized in a high school guidance counselers room with some lame motivational saying on it.

Outstanding work! I'm constantly on Youtube looking at freight hopping videos and dreaming of the day I can do it. Post more when you can!

Very nice! I've hopped freight a few times when i was a kid, but i never went cross country. Looks like you had a blast!

I'm quite interested in this last photo that everyone is raving about, but for some reason it's the only one that doesn't show up for me. Darn it all.

Looks like an amazing experience. Would love to hear advice for someone looking to do something like this. Where's the best place to camp on the train? What would you suggest bringing. What do you wish you would have brought... etc. Things like that. Amazing set of photos!
