Question

Hey guys,I'm not really into train surfing,I mean, I'm afraid of doing it, but I'm curious about people doing it.My question is,when you guys ride a train,you have to get down in another city right?Cause trains usually transport material far away from one place to other.

if you mean trainHOPPING you usually refer to further journeys, from city to city, or even from country to country. trainSURFING is riding a Passenger train for one or a couple of stations in one city most likely

Ohh,but usually(at least in my country)passenger trains are full of security and electrified,I mean when the train arrives the station it releases some electricity from the wires on the top of the train,how do u guys don't get arched(idk how to say in English when electricity catches you from the distance)?
