I’m not a fan of the graffiti on rr cars but they are stepping up their game. Instead of random graffiti that is nicely done but I can’t read it I’ve seen some that are actually pictures and portraits. I have no idea how long it takes them or how much paint it takes but it has to be a lot.

Wow! That's rare.

I was wondering the other day while sitting at a crossing watching just about every car covered in graffiti how many cans of spray paint and how much time it would take to do an entire car like that?

And that the ‘artist’ may never see it again after the effort.

We had a terrible windstorm Monday the 7th with wind gusts up to 110MPH.

Railroad has a lot of cleanup

Uprooted trees and tore some off 50’ up the main tree trunk.

Wonder how much enviromental damage they cause with all the spray can chemicals and insurance costs to clean up after them.
Nobody cares. Priorities are elsewhere.

It's a shame they have to paint RR cars, as some of the art is pretty amazing. Some of the artists are truly talented. I saw an entire side of a auto rack car painted a while back, end to end, top to bottom. Don't remember what was on it, but it was very good art.

You sustain any damage?
