I'm starting to see a bit more of this on many of those filthy engines:

I'm curious how often you guys see graffiti without the spraypaint, especially along the main lines. Is it common?

Yup, I've seen it, but it probably isn't as common as a person would think. Usually locomotives are insight of a loco terminal so there usually left alone except in a few instances. Mostly I have seen this on freight cars. Both styles, painted and non painted.

hah! i've seen that on a few UP locomotives around here. the back of UP 2995 had the phrase "WASH ME" engraved into the dirt and gunk on it. i found that kinda humerous. here's the pic:

Some things never change. When I was a kid in the 40's, there weren't as many autos as there are today and most people who owned one kept it clean. A dirty auto was sure to have "wash me" written in it on the dirt, and sometimes more colorful slogans, faces, etc.
