It dosen't say, but he probably enjoyed the ride...until the train got up to speed. Then he probably got scared.
At least he was safe. It could of been worse.

Heather said. "And he says, 'No, I hated it. It was scary.'" Probably not motivated to try it again...! Andrew

I wonder how he "rode the couplers" that far? That would be a amazing feat in its self.
I can't help but wonder why he wasn't spotted at a road crossing or by a crew doing a runby if the train had a meet? At any rate he has to be the world's youngest hobo..
