This is why railroads are harsh with anyone near the tracks. Can you blame them? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-spent-travelling-America-freight-trains.html
Are they truly "impoverished?" I have doubts. So here we have someone glorifying doing something wrong.
Even though kids and young adults are pretty much the same world over , the British may have a much different view of this type of life style. Still makes it dangerous and illegal in the US , not sure if illegal in the UK , I would think so .
Those are US trains in the pictures. I think this is why journalist and journalism is dying or soon to be. They sensationalize to get readers. I guess doing a balanced report took too much time.
The crews around here are sorta relaxed about me being around the tracks when railfaning around them since I know how to behave around the tracks. If you show respect you will get respect, folks like those kids give us a bad reputation.
