Famous Graffiti
Posted by CALVIN W HICKEY on Wednesday, December 31, 2014 11:15 AM

Some time ago I seem to remember reading a short piece in "Trains" about a mural of hispanic history that was painted on the entire side of a tank car by a graffiti artist.  If I remember correctly the artwork was so distinctive that the car owner (GATX, I think) decided to take steps to preserve it.  Can anyone provide details about this, or just correct my misunderstanding of the matter?  I do recall the piece included a picture of the tank car and the stunning quality of the artwork.  Any help verifying and tracking down this story would be appreciated.
