minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 个月前I have to assume some people still hop trains. At the very least some crust punk squatter types probably do
minus-squareDisgruntledGorillaGang@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 个月前There’s nowhere to go on a train tho. They’re all tanks and shipping containers.
minus-squarechunes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-24 个月前I assume train hoppers have tricks to get inside boxcars. Also there are different types of cars besides tank cars and boxcars, like coil cars: And open-top hopper cars:
