Riding them for free is just not a thing there like it is in North and Central America. You know...history and context and stuff. There are zines of American freight riders' experiences with European freight train travel though if interested.

And obviously there's a passenger train system in Europe that is light years ahead of anything in the United States. Riding passenger trains for free in Europe is often referred to as "black riding". Why get lost, hurt, and dirty when you can subterfuge your way across countries this way...no hobo romance i guess...
