a couple of my friends train hop regularly.
one drove to San Fran from Seattle, then hopped a train to Denver.
the other regularly hops the train from seattle to portland. last summer he hopped a train all the way from Seattle to Burningman (huge anarchistic arts festival in the black rock desert of southern Nevada). though, more than once he's had to ride for a long time in an uncovered train car, freezing wind on his face.. even still -
cost of gas from seattle to portland - $40
cost of comuter train ticket - $60
plane ticket - $100
train hop - priceless ? meh... no.. but it's free and exciting and dangerous! heck yeah.
