Good luck.\u201d However, as in Hurricane Katrina, due to ignorance, arrogance, personal negligence, entitlement\/privilege, or some other un-stated BS reason, some groups didn\u2019t heed the warnings and paid the price \u2013 some with their lives. There are two last resort and rarely discussed evacuation sources, however both are <em><u>very illegal<\/u><\/em>: the <strong>Railroad <\/strong>and<strong> Intracoastal Waterway<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Railroads<\/strong> crisscross our country and have their own police force but still fall under the jurisdiction of state and federal laws, not to mention Homeland Security in some areas. On maps the railroads are marked by dashed lines (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trainroutemap.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trainroutemap.png 1200w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trainroutemap-326x171.png 326w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trainroutemap-80x42.png 80w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trainroutemap-678x356.png 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If forced to bug out on foot, I would attempt to find a railroad with a train on a side track and wait if it\u2019s safe. A side track is where one train will pull off the main line, stop, and let a faster or more important train pass \u2013 it\u2019s much safer to climb on a train that is stopped than one rolling down the tracks. Most of the railroads in the south are built on berms and are above the surrounding countryside giving some small protection from flood waters. A lot of the railroads travel near major highways and are fairly easy to find \u2013 they are even shown on most roadmaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/train.jpg\" alt=\"Freight Train\" class=\"wp-image-39070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/train.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/train-326x171.jpg 326w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/train-80x42.jpg 80w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/train-678x356.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The railroads don\u2019t use cabooses any longer so finding a good spot to ride is more difficult. Finding an unlocked idling engine might be a good choice as long as you don\u2019t tamper with the controls. A side benefit is if the engine is idling, you have a fantastic source to charge your phone and other devices, use the onboard heaters, fans, A\/C if available), etc. while out of the harsh elements. The problem begins when the crew returns and finds you in the engine compartment; maybe they\u2019ll be sympathetic to your survival plight if you didn\u2019t damage anything (totally their choice here but realize if caught, you may be held and face charges for trespassing but at least you survived the storm alive. Boxcars are usually locked and if lucky to find an open one you need to be sure no one can secure or lock you inside, plus you need to be on alert for others on the move. Flatcars and tank cars are not a good choice because they are no very few places on them to offer protection from the weather and also be out &nbsp;of sight. The ends of Hopper cars appear to be the best choice for a concealed and weather free ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trains.jpg\" alt=\"Train Cars\" class=\"wp-image-39069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trains.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trains-326x171.jpg 326w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trains-80x42.jpg 80w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/trains-678x356.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Advice if hopping a train: be forewarned <strong><em><u>it\u2019s against the law to hop any train and you can be arrested and charged with multiple state and federal criminal offences<\/u><\/em><\/strong> \u2013 if you do it\u2019s at your own risk, stay away from others, don\u2019t start a fire on any type of rail car, stay as hidden and packed as possible in case you have to move out quickly, try to get on the train when it\u2019s stopped, don\u2019t argue and fight with the railroad crews if they catch you; politeness might buy you a continued ride where rudeness will surely get you kicked off the train and possibly arrested, be aware some railroad police are armed and well-trained.<em> (NOTE: If I\u2019m telling you this information as an on-looker be advised RR police will probably know it and much more.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Intracoastal Waterway<\/strong> is a mostly inland east-west water route across the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/waterways.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/waterways.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/waterways-326x171.jpg 326w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/waterways-80x42.jpg 80w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/waterways-678x356.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Catching a fishing boat or a tug and barge out of the area is possible but demands extreme caution. Boat Captains and their crews are a notoriously close-knit group; we know as we\u2019ve investigated both for and against them. These are the men and women that the sheriff calls when a search and rescue or search and recovery needs to be conducted due to their experience on the area waterways. Stowing away <strong><em><u>is against the law and you can be arrested and charged with multiple state and federal criminal offences<\/u><\/em><\/strong>. Most are nothing but nice but many of them live and work in the marsh and swamps and know how to cook and eat stuff that will eat you. If they like you, you\u2019ve got friends for life. If you\u2019re nosing around be very careful and don\u2019t ever think you \u201cfit in\u201d or that they don\u2019t know you\u2019re an outsider. The Cajuns and other residents of the coastal areas are a very tight knit group that like to stay out of each other\u2019s business and that\u2019s the way they keep it. It\u2019s best to let them learn to \u201clike\u201d you instead of forcing friendship and being all \u201cfaux-friendly.\u201d And don\u2019t forget you\u2019re going to need mosquito spray. Lots of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/boats3.jpg\" alt=\"Docked Fishing Boat\" class=\"wp-image-39080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/boats3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/boats3-326x171.jpg 326w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/boats3-80x42.jpg 80w, https:\/\/offgridsurvival.com\/wp-content\/themes\/church_10\/images\/2023\/07\/boats3-678x356.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different types of boats in southern waterways and on the Intracoastal Waterway. The hard part is getting on a boat (tug, barge, etc.) and staying there undetected and would not be worth the effort if caught. Bear in mind, the Intracoastal Waterway is through mostly marsh, swamps, gators, and other things that can eat you or at minimum hinder your progress if thrown off the boat \u2013 you\u2019ve been warned to be nice.

Never enter onto a man\u2019s boat uninvited or unannounced. Always ask for and wait for permission. There are much bigger ships but there under the supervision of the US Navy, Coast Guard, Homeland Security, and other US government agencies so I\u2019d avoid them at all costs if you wish to remain a free man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve installed Uniden scanners in the truck and used handhelds when on foot for many years. The railroad and maritime frequencies have always provided entertainment and information. We\u2019re retired and no longer work in the coastal areas but do visit there occasionally. While we\u2019re there if a storm is forecast for the area, believe me we\u2019re topping off the fuel tanks, replenishing any supplies we\u2019ve used, and heading out to the Village of Elsewhere well before the evacuation traffic, food, and fuel rationing begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em> Jim Jones<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Editors Note: As Jim has noted multiple times, the article is theoretical and not something we advise doing do to legal and safety concerns.
