Sounds like you were successful and in the know train hopper except for that one unforeseen event that was probably scary.
Luckily you didn’t stop breathing.
Back in the 60 s as a young teen I thought about doing that to visit relatives going between Wisc in Calif instead of them having to pay for travel by plane so I could visit more often. Of course I would if had to plan it without either parents permission.
They while planning one at about 14 I guess God sent me a message don’t do it.
I usually didn’t read newspapers yet them but for some reason I picked one up because I saw a train story on it.
Three teens decided to hop a train but unbeknownst to them the doors automatically closed on them and stayed closed for three days. They had no food or more importantly no water. They said something about trying to catch water droplets at times. They were scared and dehydrated. Another day they may have died.
I was reminded about that when you mentioned that they left water inside the units.
Either they didn’t there or it was the story that started the checking the units and leaving water. Lol
