  • yeah the TPIX's are a favorite of many graffiti artist. What you refer to as 'Railroad Art' as more commonly know as Monikers. A majority of is done by workers and a few a hobos. It is a separate culture from graffiti. But they have found ways to co-exist on the rails.

  • That';s interesting. I've heard my friend call them Monikers before, but didn't know what he was referring to. Good info, Thanks!

  • Where did you get that scanner, what kind is it?

  • That is a Motorola CDM1550 two-way radio. I have it programmed for RECEIVE-ONLY on all 97 railroad channels. You can get them for $450 - $600 used on ebay.

  • Do you know what the first engine was on the wet rock train?

  • Yes, it was an SD70, the 4699 "Spirit Of Miami"

  • @distantsignal To see RCL I go west just past Orient road and pull in to the self storage place on the right.Behind there you can see switching, if you lucky its RCL.

  • Yeah i need a ATCS for the Pan Am Trains up here, How can i get one?

  • Short and sweet but still one of your best videos. It's good to see some info on what your radio is and what you think of all the graffiti. Most of the tagging I see on trains looks terrible but we have some stuff here in town on a few buildings that is exceptionally well done. I have no idea why some buildings get generic tagging and others get carefully applied art. Perhaps they had some sort of intervention with the taggers. Or perhaps it's just another of life's many mysteries.

  • where did u get the radio and how much does it cost ? thanks and I also like the video

  • @PossessedDonutz  I also have a scanner which is a Uniden BC95XLT w/ a Diamond RH77CA antenna and my CB is a Galaxy DX949 w/ a Wilson Little Wil antenna which hopefully in a few weeks will be replaced with a Wilson 1000.

  • Thats Bad.
