Never saw this coming

Little by little we are regressing but the naysayers say all is ok.

Makes me sick to read the comments where people this "This is so cool" but then complain when these trains are taken out of service to be cleaned and there is less service available because of it.

While I personally think the art is cool but what a waste of time and money to do it on trains that will be cleaned out soon. With instagram and the internet you don't need to show art on public places anymore. With tech today the police can identify whose art it is and person will be arrested and likely sued for cleaning bills.

Well when 298 train cars are pulled from service, what did you think was going to show up from the yards?

FYI...

The graffiti you see on trains these days (such as this) is done largely by European graffiti writers who come here to "visit the mecca of train graffiti."

Back then: "Trash."
Now: "Art."
