"My name is Owen, and I like free rides..."
For years, Owen has been hopping freight cars in rail yards across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico
to share video of his amazing adventures.
A link to those videos has been one of the most popular items ever to appear here. His channel on YouTube is RanOutOnARail.
In recent hours, he's uploaded his first-ever midnight freight-hop in Europe. (47 mins)
That's a killer, cause ...
. Major Europe trains are electrified, which means any top-of-the-boxcar shots are lethal.
. Railroads in Europe patrol their freight yards with drones. Night vision drones.
. Because of European migrant movements, railroads are already hyper-sensitive and looking hard for freight-hoppers.
. If they catch you, it's jail.
Hilariously, Owen and pal take a high-speed passenger train to get to a freight yard to begin.
Owen indicates this is the first of his rides north from Greece, thru Europe and Yugoslavia. He's out of Europe now.
I hope.
