[quote user="Ulrich"]  I'm surprised that the railroaders have let this go to the point it has...If it were my property I'd be more active about it...especially about curbing the racial slurs and profanity type hate graffiti.. not great for the old public perception.. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Yes, I think the railroads just roll with the punches when it comes to graffiti.  Railcars are made with a high performance industrial paint coating to keep them from rusting.  As long as the graffiti just goes on top of that, the railcar is not jeopardized.  The graffiti is just a little more weight to haul around.  However, covering up car numbers is a significant issue.  But these items are a railroad company issue.  Covering up the reflectors will be an FRA issue, and the maintenance of the reflectors against graffiti could be a significant cost issue if that maintenance should become mandated by the FRA.  <o:p></o:p> A couple years ago, the city of Minneapolis passed a law that required property owners to remove graffiti within a certain time limit or face fines.
