RE: Photos of the trains today and an original song by me!
Yes @tanishqyeverma they do. It is illegal and they definitely can't do it at this train yard. I am not sure where artists are able to get access to trains to do it. It is a fascinating sub culture of art ... People also illegally ride these trains. But they can be shot or arrested or fall from the train and die so it's not a very safe form of travel... Some of the graffiti is called a tag, and there is a whole other sub culture of hobo tags . The hobo tags are just written in plain white letters . There's one I see all the time that says " Walt was here". I think he was a famous train hopper and people continue a tradition of tagging as if they are him. I happened to have taken a picture of that also today. Wow I do take a lot of my train knowledge for granted haha I will make more posts about it. I would love to see what it is like where you live, too!
