Sup /b/? I'm just chilling at this spot waiting on a freight train, drinking beer. AMA

Yes, I know, I'm dirty, it's the middle of the fucking desert!

What are you doing? Where are you going?
I assume you're one of those homeless people that jump on trains? If so what is the end goal?

>>935906430
Going to Big Sky fest in Whitefish Montana and yes I am. I don't have an "end goal" really, just kind if enjoying the ride.

>>935906707
Always found that kind of interesting but wouldn't do it myself. Do you think you'll settle down somewhere? Seems like it'd be hard to make connections if you're moving often

>>935906340 (OP)
Cool. You're actually living man. Respect. About to load a bowl and listen to some tunes. A happy journey to you.

>>935906839
Tried a few times, things fall through and always end up back out here.
It's not too hard making connections, usually with folks that throw festivals.
I just kind of live in the moment. To me that's the best way to look at life.

>>935906905
Thank you

Faye

>>935907120
About 37, been on and off since I was 20.
Kind of just ended up homeless and did wanna get strung out and stuck

>>935906340 (OP)
how many dicks do you have to suck before you can make enough to buy a beer?

>>935907192
best time of my life was homeless although i was constantly worried and in and out of jail. stay safe and find where you're comfortable or atleast get out the desert theres no place to sleep there

>>935906340 (OP)
you cant look after your self, give up that dog to someone who can take care of it and stop being a child

>>935907780
Thank you. I'll be in the next train to Chitown, figure I'd bounce around a bit until Big Sky starts. It's fairly simple to catch freight from Chi to Whitefish. I got a month to kill. There is no shade out here really, the perk is no ticks, lol. I'm in Idaho RN, people are really friendly here. Fuck Oregon tho. Pic Related: It's a derailment I saw while riding up here on a different line

>>935907946
Oh contrary, you sound like the child.
I'm sorry you think that way.
Peace be upon you.

>>935907192
fuck you're younger than me. how old is your dog? hope u 2 are happy

>>935908263
>shade
She's 5

>>935906340 (OP)
What's the craziest thing youve seen being homeless?

>>935908162
don't i know it we got festivals going on so perfect timing coming around

Always heard that the RR police really love fucking people up that they catch on their trains?
Do some companies or rail lines look the other way and let you ride?
How does Faye like riding trains?

Have you ever had to jump off a train?

>>935908629
The more aged rail cops usually don't care, just do not make it obvious
Most told to leave though, maybe get arrested.
And Faye's been on trains since she was 4 months old, she's good on them, climbs latter's, chills out, really good dog.
Workers love her too

>>935906340 (OP)
shitskin

>>935908700
Sometimes, if it's pulling into a huge Intermodal facility, and just creeping and bot stopping, yeah. I don't catch them on the fly(whole moving) I used to when I started, I got a dog now, so I don't risk it..and really it's unnecessary if you know what you're doing. The train speaks in jts own language, the sounds it makes let's you know what it's about to do/is about to move/stop. It's 90% waiting, like I'm doing now, waiting at a Crew Change Point in the middle of the desert in Idaho, lol. I had a cat,she got killed by a German Shepard who was off leash at a public park, dog got put down, their human, well, I went to jail for assualt because he is responsible for his dog, knowing his dog is aggressive and letting it off leash in a public place is really shitty. The Judge was on my side, he told me he "don't blame me" my cat was cool, she loved the trains.

Tonight's the perfect night for a little excitement. You game? emyriion

Maybe you will run into my estranged sister in whitefish

Have you ever done urban exploration? I ask because i've always wanted to do cool outdoor activities suited for loners like this (not implying ur a loner u probs have a lot of friends) but im too pussy and awful at direction, and couldnt handle getting lost in the woods

How do you know where a train is going?

thread over?
