Another point to consider with graffiti is the type of car that you would be defacing. Cars that are typically un/loaded in secure environments are much less likely to have graffiti, eg. chemical tankers and hoppers, where cars that left sitting in unsecured areas are more likely to tagged, eg boxcars at an inner-city recycling center. Another example is that unit coal cars -- traveling from isolated mines to and from isolated power plants -- rarely have any graffiti on them.Too, the area(s) modeled can affect the type of graffiti seen. Rural areas tend to have more "John loves Jane" or "class of '99" type graffiti, while urban areas have more of the tagging type, a nick-name painted in highly stylized lettering.
