I'm in Northern NJ and I need to freight hop out to Cincinnati. What's the best way to do this?

you don't "need" to freight hop. my friend's son died when he slipped trying to be a wannabe hobo and fell under the train. both his fucking legs got cut off and he bled out.

imagine the last thought being "why was i so retarded? i thought it would be cool and romantic to freight hop like in all those YouTube videos i saw! i wish i could take it back."

I do not condone doing this, but if you do consider the follow:
>Do not lay or fall asleep on those flat metal platforms as you will wake up with either severe sunburn or your shits will have heat stroke, maybe even a little light burns
>Avoid jumping up top of trains as they a difficult to stay yp on and you might just get clothes lined by a steel beam or tunnel
>Please, Please, Please, Do not try to be a hobo and jump onto moving trains, trains now a days can go from 0-160 in very little time, instead of in the 1930s when trains took a good hour to get up to 30

Go beg for money. By the time you have hopped the train, and that's good case scenario because you probably won't hop it, you'll have enough money for a bus

Why don’t you hitchhike like that bong anon who got from NY to LAX with like no money a few months back?

Or get a fucking job for 2 hours and have enough for a Megabus ticket.

Christ I need to write a short novel of my train hopping fiasco. And how I ended up stuck in Canada catching fish and dodging the RCMP from Early April to the end of September.

OP straight up don't. I highly and I do mean HIGHLY discouraged you from Train Hopping. But if you are still pig headed enough to still want to do it I suggest finding yourself a more experienced hopper as a guide and mentor. And check your fucking train schedules! Train Hopping isn't what it used to be, the cars themselves have changed the grain and tanker cars rarely have that platform anymore, freight cars are almost always locked and the flatbed are usually stacked full or have nowhere to stand. That and I know 3 people no longer with us because they got crushed by trains.

go get the training its highly in demand for real dude its totally worth the debt do some research and call up rail companies asking about becoming an engineer

you starts at 85k unionized with full benefits and a bunch of other shit here in Canada sure the work schedule is chaotic as fuck with long shifts but god damn its an /out/ as fuck job

being a rail engineer dream job but since I am retarded I got a criminal record 3 years ago for mischief under 5k once I get a pardon in a 2/3 years I am totally signing up and dropping a few thousands on the course I was told since I am a millwright getting hired would be pretty simple

No one is checking tickets you can buy a ticket for the next stop loiter in the observation car and hop off where ever. I am sure there is a way to get caught. I doubt running the line once will get you turbo jailed.
