Haha I love this railroad worker that said.............. "I really can't say anything negative on rr equip taggers as I have never had the gift to draw or do any kind of art. As a rr worker, the tagging doesn't bother me nor most others in the industry. Like I said, i can't draw worth a hoot. Keep in mind that some of the tagging out there is done by rr workers themselves. As long as reporting marks & id numbers are not tagged, its no big deal. One regular assigned job I worked on in the past, the engr always brought his camera and mainly took pics of equip that had decent tagging on them w/ the idea of possibily doing a book project on the subject. Will have to get in touch and see if this prject is still going on."
as a kid id alwyase be fasanated by the grafitti on trains and it was a special event when i got to watch them go by, i dont see why it would bother people that its on trains, buildings, and cars, and trucks and whatnot makes sense, graffiti has its place, some times it fits, sometimes it just makes it look like a shithole
Everybody should just ignore him. He's a train watcher, so he cares about trains. We're artists, so we're actually doing something worth while. Either way, he's just an old prick stuck in his ways.
Yeah I agree certainly after reading his last reply to peoples posts. I love trains painted or not...But woah..tosser!!
OH SNAP YOU GUYS! Tropicana is going to go out of business now because their Train Car ads are getting tagged and bombed...Now the CEO of Tropicana won't be able to get that gold Ferrari...he will have to settle for the Gold Porche...whatever will he do! Come on dude! The reason there is no outrage is because people have more important things to worry about than freaking trains! You know, there are wars going on and people killing each other out on the streets, but no our top priority should be the people that are harming no one.
no part of that website makes any sense to me...wtf?? those people got there facts all wrong. this just coming from my POV..
what is the FRA that gets mentioned in the comments, some kind of government entity or something. it seems like dude is trying to say there is some sort of rules the railways have about condoned graffiti or some shit. Interesting, but seems like some fake/misguided/ too good to be true. Has anyone else heard of something like this?
its funny how the majority of all those comments were about getting bak at us, punishing us, and consequences for us. Few, if any, were about actually doing something about it. And the one that said ugly? i know graffiti isnt for everyone but cmon how can u make a giant rusty piece of metal ugly by painting it. These old farts need to get of there ass and open there eyes cause graffiti is here to stay
This guy seriously needs a hobby other than watching trains. In fact most of the people posting on that site were probably losers.... it's a site dedicated to trains??
