Graffiti was definitely thier in the late 60’ s remember seeing it from the CTS rapid on the way down town.
In Belgium and other countries in Europe, the passenger trains have graffiti. The other day I saw a GO Transit train with graffiti covering the windows. But, it’s not all bad, have a look at this:
I may as well jump in with my first post being on a subject that got me into trains in the first place. If it had not been for graffiti I would have never given a train a second look. I’m one of those guys that love the locomotives, but I’m more interested in what comes after them. One of my Flickr pages is nothing but graffiti. Most fans are after heritage units, I’m after the elusive wholecar (which is a lot harder to catch).
I’ve learned not to argue with the anti graffiti people as it’s their right not to like it and that’s fine. I also know that graffiti is what got lots of railfans involved in this great hobby. I have never once said I condone it and never will. It’s been around forever and will be after we’re dead and gone. Graffiti got me into trains and reading Trains magazine for many years now (off the newstand until now). It has me trying to make the transition from benching to railfan. Trying to learn the symbols, etc that go with railfanning.
As for how long the massive graffiti has been around I couldn’t tell you. I’ve seen a few great pieces that have been riding untouched since the 80s…
