No I didn't forget that it was 100% illegal. But in 50 or so years, all of you are gonna wish that you had taken photos of this stuff, because: 1. All the ones who started doing this stuff willl be too old to paint anymore and their trains will be worth $$$. 2. This artwork in the future will be taught in schools (it actually already is being taught in some colleges) 3.  Like the railroad really cares.  I know what you are going to say to this- "But they do care, they      frown apon it, and anyone caught will go to jail."     Well If they cared all that much, all the yards and anywhere that train cars are parked would     be on heavy duty lockdown. And seriously folks, what is a more hanus crime? graffiti, Drugs? Rape? MURDER? There has been cases where people have been caught for writing graffiti put in jail for up to three years. There have been cases where a rapist gets caught, and gets SIX MONTHES in jail. the same for drug dealers. You tell me what is the more hanus crime. Graffiti is harmless (even though yes, it is illegal).  If anything, it should open more peoples eyes to a creative side of life than being all stuck up and rebublican...THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN BEING STUCK UP!!!! graffiti doesn't kill anyone, rape anyone, it doesn't steal from anyone, the biggest thing is that is is tresspassing and writing on someone else's (gigantic big business, that doen't even really care) property.  I am always amused at how bent out of shape people get over graffiti. IT DOES NOT HURT YO! Oh and like I said before- GRAFFITI WRITERS DO NOT PAINT ON PEOPLES HOUSES OR CARS! Anyone who does that is stupid and does not want to be in graffiti for that long because that attracts the wrong kind of attention.  I bet you people think that graffiti writers are mean bad people, that are thieves, killers, swear a lot, smoke cigarettes, and hit women.  WRONG!!!  Some of the ones that I have met in train yards are really nice people, that just want to paint.  Many claim that graffiti has saved their lives.  Some of the ones I have talked to said that they came from broken homes, where the parents were on drigs, and some other ones come from VERY wealthy backgrounds.  Writers are everywhere- they could quite possibly be your next door neighbor.
