where a train stops to change one crew for another. I actually still have my highly coveted “crew change guide.” Buncha old riders compiled a book that lists every single spot in the U.S.
You wanna talk about weird politics and unspoken rules and different factions.that world is full of em. I’ve beaten someone up for trying to throw an older person off a moving train, just to find out the older feller was a more violent A hole than the aggressor lol. I’ve woken up to guys trying to throw me off a moving train. Sometimes you were protecting your life, sometimes you were too drunk to remember what the fight was about. Nothing like being in a hobo jungle fighting with 8 other people. See what I did there? I describe it as some of the best worst times of my life.
Figured I’d make a different post since that retirement thread was good and I didn’t wanna.DERAIL it.
