10/10 would not recommend because it's dangerous and irresponsible, but boy that was a hell of a ride. All I want for Christmas is more trains of every kind FrogPog

Last I remember learning about this is that there was some kind of underground listing of the train timetables or something that got passed around. I dunno if that’s just bullshit but it seems like the history and community behind hopping is really interesting. It’s definitely something I considered doing when I was younger

Yeah there are schedules floating around in the community, and it's an interesting subculture for sure. The whole tagging system is cool too.
