The other day I was stopped at a train crossing, and as I watched the freight train go by I saw this through the drops on my rain soaked windshield:
1. Do passenger trains get tagged also?
2. Is this a worldwide practice or more of an American culture thing?
My inquiring mind wants to know.
I kind of like the impromptu artwork. Train cars are a bit drab and ugly. We don't have any passenger trains that run through my town so I don't know how common a practice this is on passenger trains or how I would feel about artwork on them. And I don't get around all that much. The first time I traveled somewhere that required a passport was two years ago. So I'm asking my readers to help broaden my horizons. I have two silly questions:1. Do passenger trains get tagged also?
2. Is this a worldwide practice or more of an American culture thing?
My inquiring mind wants to know.
I wonder how the train guys felt about it
ReplyDeleteWe certainly see train graffiti on our trains, as well as on other surfaces. The powers that be seem to be fighting a losing battle against it; I reckon if it's pretty graffiti they should just leave it be. Look at Banksy, his work is worth thousands now. We read not so long ago that about 80% of Americans do not have a passport, so you're now in the minority that do.
