kaesthebluntedwonder Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 this wasn't at a yard but on tracks nevertheless...i went down to flick a wall that had some older stuff on it, and there were the remains of a deer that had been smashed to bits. also there were some 3rd rail covers that read "caution: 700 volts" laying around...i wanted to take a few but then decided not to since i have enough junk in my room as it is.

FR8 LIFE Posted December 7, 2001 Author Share Posted December 7, 2001 To day while walking down the tracks i didn't find an object but found my self in some trouble... i was walking down the tracks just doing some exploring, in this ghetto neighborhood nothing but homeless people and gang bangers, i dont like going there but there is so much fr8 action going on and its a great place the catch dope flix well any ways i was walking down a pretty long stretch of 3 track main line with factories and junk yards on one side and trees and a scrap yard on the other. i see a group of people up head, i was goin to turn around and walk back but i was like fuck that. i took my snow hat off and put a big rock in it. As i got close i see its 4 black guys all about 20 years old or so drinking some colt 45 or what ever they drink. with my snow hat with the rock in it i walk past them one guy says "yo nigaa you lost or some thing" i just kept on walk with out looking back acting like i didn't hear them, then i hear " hey motherfucka we talkin to you" i turn and say I'm just going home taking a short cut. they stop and start to walk towards me so i start to walk away they start yelling stop get back here we just want to talk at you for a minute. fellin I was about to me mugged or beaten I took off, 2 guys chased me the other two stayed back, I was running as hard as I could, I was thinking in the back of my mind not to trip over a railroad tie or something. I ran through some trees and bushes and up this hill that lead to more tracks thats when they gave up on chasing me. I still kept on running in till I got to a small restaurant. I could not believe what happened or that I out ran 2 black guys. And to all of you that say I should have stayed and fought them off I laugh at you. Thanks for listening to me sound like a pussy :beat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaesthebluntedwonder Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 i found something very cool today while walking towards two cars that were coupled together off the ways of the yard...at first i thought it was litter someone had left of empty beer bottles and cases...upon closer inspection i saw that it was a case of six packs of corona...i didn't count but i'm guessing there were about 8 six packs of corona...i guess they fell off a load or something because they were right on the tracks...i grabbed one and walked off.....what a find.....

I Luv Roo Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 All I've ever found was a little spanish comic book called El Vaquero - the cover looked like it would be dirty, but the inside was normal. I don't even know spanish, but I'm keeping it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest istepdincrap Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 i found a "brake manual" one day, empty spray cans from toys, tons and tons of blue water bottles during the summer, one day me and a friend where walking around this yard and he found a baby frog, he took it to the other end of the yard and let it go, dead jack rabbits, bum clothes, i even found a sketch from a toy around the way, empty 40 bottles that writers leave around(i think that is as bad as spray cans) anyone ever loose anything in the yard?

FR8 LIFE Posted December 31, 2001 Author Share Posted December 31, 2001 out here in Chicago we got metra commuter trains that travel between 60-70 mph in some spots and for about a mile stretch there are woods on both sides lots of deer cross the tracks to get the other side a lot end up getting hit and you can imagine what a deer looks like after being hit by a train going 60+ most of the time you only see pieces :dazed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visualJAZZ Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 stock caps. and clothing, bottles, nothing too strange. ohh, i've got this awsome ass hammer. its a solid piece of steel welded to a steel pipe. its so awsome it weighs about 3 pounds. i kept that joker. whats more dangerous: being cut with a hobbo knife or being knocked up side the head with a 3lb hobbo hammer? i say we ask mr. owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBar Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 VisualJAZZ--it's probably not a "hobo hammer" because it weighs too much. Hobos travel very light. More than likely, it is a tool lost by either the MoW crew, working on rails or switches, or a tool lost by a car knocker out of his tool box on the back of an ATV. I travel all around the Houston area, around all rail yards and major lay-ups and junctions. I've never run into any tramps that carried much in the way of heavy tools or serious weapons. Most hobos carry a knife of some kind, or maybe a small pistol, like a .22 or a .25, that's about it. Pistols bigger than that are too heavy and too expensive. What they usually do carry is a bottle of T-bird or Night Train or Mad Dog, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualJAZZ Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 yea i figured it was a worker's hammer and not a hobo/travler's. hell i wouldnt carry it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.pantusso Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 what makes y'allll think this is a fun topic i'm still not seeing.. . everything found in a yard, or on the main at that is all typical poop... . wether its bits of old porn or that so called 'amazing blue water bottle' or even a broken knuckle (by the way, "wowwwwee," sike) is typically everyday railroad waste.. . oh that hammer you talk of is called a ballpin hammer.. . the railroad wants the conductors to do hands on labor when something goes wrong so their always equipped on engines along with those funny wrenches used for air hoses... . but they never ever nerver get any usage, i assure you.. . anyhow back to that other thing... . maybe its true that most lines are very rural.. . all you need is to take one good ride through city limits and see all the dumping from backyards to where trains have tunneled their way through the piles of 'treasure' .. im talkin anything from tricycles to washers, discarded stillborns, heck even deflated basketballs.. .you name it.. this topic will surely be dead.. ... . treasures my butt............... . oh, just curious.... . ever drink those magical water bottles?? tasty isnt they!

TEE_rase_war Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Re: dogs Originally posted by CelfOneAlphatects Painting today... I went in some THORN bushes to grab an old bucket to stand on and there was a dead dog with its face all smashed in right by the bucket. And one time I found my gloves that I lost the night before when I went back for pictures. that makes me sad!!! one tyme i was walking down a line and along it i found like 40 toothbrushes, lighters, toilet paper (unused thank gawd) and other toiletries...my diagnosis is that a commuter went by and peeps flushed shit down the loo...(water-closet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBar Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 DEAD HORSE Sunday we were scouting spots here in Houston, and at Tower 30 we found a dead horse laying on it's side in a ditch by the tracks with it's legs sort of sticking up in the air. This was not somewhere out in the country, mind you, but right square in the middle of Harrisburg (a part of Houston, on the east side,) not fifty feet from several homes and back yards. We couldn't figure out if it got hit, or was dumped there or what. We also saw this crazy yuppie professional guy dressed in white walking shorts, tennis shoes and a red-and-blue striped shirt, with a cane tucked in his belt, that was walking the rail lines. Later on that day, down at T&NO Junction, the EXACT SAME GUY came zooming past us, still walking, three miles away. We stopped him to ask him what he was doing and he said he was just doing it for the exercise. He thought we worked for the railroad, and was worried we were going to turn him in, LOL.
