Comments on: A neat catch in CN train 418 coming off the Westlock sub, this grain car has been used as a large canvas by the graffiti artist “Theory.” While I don’t find most graffiti particularly interesting, this car really caught my eye.

Here’s another ‘smiley’ rail car ….

Like Pierre and Mike say, these cars have to be sitting static for quite some time for this amount of painting to take place, and with the amount of equipment and supplies required to complete the job.

Looks like this car was sitting in a siding for a while.

Think of all the equipment the artist needs:Ladder,paint brushes,solvent,rags,lighting if they work in the night,and most of all,time,if he hurries up,he,ll spoil it.and never get caught,and me I was warned 3 times not to tresspass with my cam.

Over-zealous cops always seem to nail railfans for being along the wayside taking pictures. How long did it take the master artist to do this work? And why have I NEVER seen graffiti interrupted?? We need to find out where they are and set up our tripods along side them. )
