I myself am very much opposed to graffiti and consider it to be vandalism, no matter how artistic it is, but as others have said, it is something that has become a part of modern railroads whether we like it or not. Here are a few interesting photos I've found on the net of graffitied trains. [img]http://www.graffiti.org/trains/901wls_wholecar.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.graffiti.org/trains/901bnsfl_wholecar.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.graffiti.org/trains/901ms_air_egret.jpg[/img] I must say that these cars pictured above certainly impressed me, perhaps because of the fact that they actually represent something as opposed to being just some mindless writing that noone can read. These cars would make some very interesting models. It isn't just freight cars that these guys go after, just look at this UP unit.

[img]http://www.steamlocomotive.com/GG1/prr4876.jpg[/img] Actually, this GG1 is owned by the B&O Museum and has been sitting where it is since 1985. It's really sad to see it like this. It also happens to be the GG1 that was involved in a big crash in Washington, D.C. Union Station in 1953.

It does glorify graffiti and all the morons that to do it, but it does have tons of photos. Interestingly enough, trains.com is included in their links section.
