boobyknockers Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I live in Houston and its huge but i sit down by washingtn ave. waiting for west bounds to move out the englewood yard heading to san antonio. But that spot sucks balls. its better in the afternoon but is there some certain spot i should know about. Rolling Nowhere would maybe know. I want to see trains every 15-30 min. I like Howell WYE in Atlanta. big railfan area and they got an actual bench you can sip 40s and chill its tight. I never down it but the Bailey yard would be sweet as fuck to bench. Maybe ill do that this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..romero.. Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 bethlehem penn has some pretty chill yards,dallas has some cool spots,jacksonville and tyler texas if your willing to go to the ghetto has some pretty dope spots to bomb in i hear. and in and around kansas city.kc has mad freights like chicago but is alot easier to access.ive never been benching in chicago but i heard that alot of the yards our locked up tight.atleast from what i remember.wichita ks has some nice lay ups..thats with most of kansas.you can go to anywhere in kansas and find mad freights and no hassle from the workers or rr cops at all.your able to walk right into most of them with no problem.midwest has the best yards in my opinion.i lived in a town of 30k in KS and had atleast 10 trains go by my house every day and alot mad frequent stops.

bigtruckchase Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Texas is great, Houston and DFW for sure. Also, some of the best lines I ever caught were in places like Lubbock or the little towns of Hearne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, some of the best lines I ever caught were in places like Lubbock or the little towns of Hearne. hearne is pretty busy for sure. valley junction more so. all those subdivisions end/start in that area. always some trains. ive ridden through there 1000000 times. blah blah blahhhhh texas is the shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolling nowhere Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I STAND BY MY STATEMENT.[/color][/font] just depends on where you live and what options you have. also what you know. maybe you see some trains in the ghetto and thats the only spot you know so thats where you go. personally id rather be in a spot where i dont have to worry about motherfuckers shooting at me. thats no fun at all. although in most cities the big busy yards are in the ghetto. but i hate painting at yards too. haha. of all the trainis ive painted probably 105 was done in a yard. because i know where to go.

..romero.. Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 painting in yards is pretty sketchy.id rather catch them laid up somewhere.but im in the midwest so those kinda spots are easy to find haha. i agree with rolling. if i had a choice between having to duck gang members to paint a yard as opposed to going to a place that i can walk to without worrying about watching every car that passes by then id take that.unfortunately all the good yards are in the hooood.so yeah.
