There's nowhere to go on a train tho. They're all tanks and shipping containers.

I assume train hoppers have tricks to get inside boxcars. Also there are different types of cars besides tank cars and boxcars, like coil cars:

And open-top hopper cars:

That's my point, I never see boxcars anywhere.

When you say shipping containers, do you mean these guys?

[–] DisgruntledGorillaGang@reddthat.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes. I work next to a train yard and 90% of what I see are these guys.

Interesting. In my neck of the woods, I mostly see boxcars and tank cars. When I lived in the western US I would see those a lot though.
