Hell we don't even have a bull in the state right now. That third pic down is tricky. You get in the wrong coal car and you can't climb out.

I hopped freight trains from Whitefish, Montana to Seattle at the end of a summer working in Glacier National Park. Crazy fun trip.

Back in the day, I rode trains from CA to Wisconsin. Once.

Kind of a pain in the ass. You find an empty car. Good deal. It goes 40 miles. Nobody hauls an empty car across the US. Best deal were the Pacific Fruit Express trucks. You could grab a ride under the front part of the truck, where the cab goes. Got pretty cold across the mountains.

Tim Barry, ex lead singer from the punk band Avail, does some damn good singer song writer shit now.
He's big on riding trains and has a bunch of songs about it.

No I didn't know that. I wonder how that will affect their content? Hell maybe it won't. Who owns vice now?

I don't know who owns Vice I just saw that HBO had picked them up for a video series. I don't think it will affect their content at all.
