Okay, you had a post that got some views and some replies (even if 18% of the replies were blank or yours).  You got a chance to vent an issue which is apparently a cockleburr the size of a watermelon under your saddle.  Bully for you.  Now it's over.  Quit beating your chest, and quit trying to inject your pet issue into every other thread on the forum.

Thirty-one of 'em (6%) are blank.

With 28,902 views and 530 replies in just over three months I'd say the "America's Railroads:  The poster Boy for Graffiti Vandalism" topic has generated more interest quicker than any other thread.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You obviously haven't been following K.P. Harrier's "Sunset Route Two Tracking Updates". That thread has over a million views.

Yours is small potatoes.

That speaks volumes about interest and concern regarding graffiti vandalism!  Obviously, despite the detractors, many do care about the graffiti blight.

 

I have had one heck of a podium here discussing the issue.  Keep a watchful eye on your local railroad and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.  There are many more of us who take pride in railroading than those wanting to deface it!
