Kabar- Thanks for the response. As far as the train spike is concerned I definatly respect what your saying about taking it with you. Concerning deadmans, Dont trains make all sorts of stops giving numerous chances for people to notice a big peice of wood in the door track? You cant take it out when your stopped cause you need it to hold the door for when the slack 'hits' right? Also, I just recently saw a box car whose door was lashed open with metal bands, are those trustworthy? Finally, I was looking for your opinion of which is better to ride, hotshots or boxes? Thanks again.

Kabar- Whats up, Im new here but I think I've read just about all of your threads. Much respect. I got two questions about hopping. First, I read your posts about 'deadmans' , I've heard people talking about jamming the doors open with railroad spikes but never anything else. Whats your opinion on this? Is it more or less reliable than a deadman? Second, whats your opinion on riding hotshots , the cars with two cargo box things on top of each other. Its my understanding that what you loose in space and comfort you make up in time because those cars are high priority. Whats your opinion on that?
