Another sign that the economy stinks...
Nearby, in the Colton/Rialto train yard that parallels the I-10 freeway, is a string of mostly Union Pacific locomotives parked end to end...for nearly two miles. I counted between 135 and 145 engines on my way home from work this week. If, as the commercials say, "American moves by rail," then we're really in bad trouble what with so many trains idle.
...and when (and why) did America's rail roads give up on graffiti control? There doesn't seem to be a single rail car left in the USA that doesn't have extensive decoration by vandals. Some of this "art" took hours and hours to "create". Where's the fabled goons of yesteryear protecting the rail yards with 30-30 Winchesters and big clubs? ...probably all got laid off, then joined the border patrol or "Homeland Security" to protect us from the same individuals who spray paint the shit out of everything.
