I have mixed feelings about it!. I work for a railroad, and railroad cars are a common target for taggers!. It's a lot of trouble when we can't read a car number because someone has painted over it!. There's a lot of important data stenciled onto the side of a car, and we need to be able to see that!. also, a railroad car with something inappropriate painted on it can be a major problem for us!. We have a responsibility to the communities we run through, and they don't appreciate giant curse words or dirty pictures!.

On the other hand, there is a lot of talent out there, and I do appreciate having art rolling around for everyone to enjoy!. It's kind of neat when you're sitting at a crossing and a painting rolls by!. But you guys need to pick your subjects and your targets!. A regular old freight car is one thing, but a locomotive is another!. Railroads are proud of their engines, and their company name is incorporated into the livery!. also, stay away from passenger cars and historical equipment!. It really sucks when a restored car get tagged!.

But on the other side of the coin, few people are going to cry over a plain old covered hopper!. They paint them solid gray just to keep the rust off, and as long as we can read the data, we don't really care about the rest of the paint!. Just remember that it is illegal, and sometimes we do get stuck with the task of repainting a car!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your right, graffiti is a great art form, I really don't even do graffiti, but it's a form of expression, and people have the right to express! Graffiti an urban culture, we should always have graffiti!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
