QUOTE: Originally posted by overall I'm with you man. What kind of messege does it send to shippers? It says that their shipments may be vulnerable to theft or destruction. You never see this on trucks do you? George

Destroyed???? No,, it's not destroyed. If it were then the vehicle would be un-useable. If anything the extra coats of paint will prolong the life of the asset..

I know that the Railroads do what they can to rid of it but even more of it just keeps coming,errr. I mean I don't like to Photograph the crap because it makes Photo's look realy stupid. Im sorry about the complaining but this has gone way to far! BNSFrailfan.

QUOTE: Originally posted by wncrails I still think my idea on a similar post is still valid. The RR's should set out a couple cars thet need painting, give the taggers a theme and let them go to it. RR's win since they get cars painted for free & it's all legal. [^]

RR's win since they get cars painted for free & it's all legal.[^] With all due respect, how do you think that the railroad's customers, the shippers, would react?? Plus, can you imagine the pandora's box of lawsuits something like this can open? Even with signed waiver's, a tagger gets hurt or injured (and its so easy on railroad equipment) that host railroad will be paying for that tagger's grandchildren to go to college! I see why now railroad's take hard stance's on some issues. As a kid, I walked onto a an open 50ft SL door boxcar on a loading dock at a warehouse. No one said anything, though I knew better. As agile as I was, I tripped and fell out of the car due to stepping on a protruding piece of metal next to the door. Painfull lesson! My fault, I wasn't going to whine about it or try and sue as I hobbled to my bicycle and left. Now, imagine this happening to a young tagger who already has a hostile attituded towards railroads and property rights!! Unless the railroad car is inside a museum or other safe envioronment, legalized tagging will likely not be adopted.

QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 Well SPbed, Just seems like the signs of a decaying society. As a kid in the late 60s and a teen in the late 70s, watching freight trains with their various colors and logos was always a thrill. Watching freight trains now and seeing the "artistic trash" on them makes me think of gangs, ghetto thugs, kids that aren't being raised, turf wars. Like it or not, that's what graffitti is associated with![B)][:0] Before anyone harps on me with their political correctness drool, I lived in a New York ghetto ( South Bronx) for a while as a kid and remember the graffitti and the gangs only too well! I'm so grateful that my parents made sure that I didn't get sucked into the street life. Peace!
