@msquebanh Bahaha, that's pretty cool. Did anyone take a picture of the tent setup? I'd be curious to see that. If he does have a photo he should send it to the Black Butte Center for Railroad Culture in Norcal (aka the trainhopping railroad museum)
I may have used to hop freight when I was a kid but I'm worried it's too dangerous these days with PSR/changes in the rail industry. Stowing away onboard Amtrak/ViaRail would not have occurred to me, though! Clever turnip.
@sidereal I will ask him on his next update via phone but I'm sure there's other pics out there of his train tent - it's not very visible unless you're looking for it. He flattened it before sunrise every morning & only got caught because he slept too long one time.
