Most of it is silly & dumb to look at but i have come across some that could be called good work. However, it should be known that a large share of rr car graffiti is done by rr workers themselves. These are inside jobs. I have seen it take place myself. One such story relates back to around 1993-1994 when i was a bulk car loader for Cargill Flour Milling. We had just received a first batch of brand new leased CFMX pd cars for flour loading. Cars were so new the gray gloss paint shined nicely. We had a SF switch crew on the 202 job which was known for tagging cars which read '2 dead crew'. Well they tagged that on one of the brand new cars, mill turned it in, investigation was held and the switch guys were told to stop it. The mill could care less if rr owned cars were tagged ,they just did not want their private leased fleet to be painted upon on.
