I jumped onto a miving train before. Not sure how fast it was going. My grandmother in Maryland lives about 30 yards from the tracks as her house use to be a old train station. Me and my cousin saw one coming a slower than usual, we hopped on it and rode it a couple miles and walked back.
I do think they're pretty cool though. I've seen pictures of people's setups and I'm impressed by the quality job they do building the environment around the track.
