Art on the rails

I wanted to include one of these photos with my previous entry on "producer car" loading. My brother Jon, who farms near Hartney, Man., took these photos. I can understand why graffiti artists love rail cars. First, the cars are usually stopped in out of the way places in the bowels of cities for hours or even days at a time. Artists have lots of time, away from peering eyes, to create their work. And then the cars go out and travel the country, displaying the art for everyone to see.

Do you have photos of rail car art that you'd like to share? I'm sure there's some pretty wacky stuff — like the top photo here. Send your photos to me and I'll post them.
