RE: Photos of the trains today and an original song by me!
You are so so so so creative dflo, it was an AWESOME track.
Do the people put graffiti on the train there? I mean we don't have much of a graffiti culture i back in here, they looks amazing.
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!
