Is boxcar graffiti an art form or an eyesore ?

I had a though occur to me the other day about the topic that comes around every so often about when did railroad graffiti appear. The first railroad graffiti wasn’t on the cars, it was on things like water towers, where hobos would carve information (about the locals and what train the took to where). This would have gone on for a long time, since the early days of bumming (right?). In fact Jack London wrote a story about hobos, that's what gave me this idea. Any body got any models out there with hobo markings on the water tower? <br /> <br />Incidently I vote eyesore.
