    you guys are idiots for thinking it cool to go over the numbers.

    to see how long it takes to get stamped??? wtf? why dont you just go around tagging peoples doors to see how long it takes you to get stamped. in the face with a boot that is.

    railworkers and the whole rail system NEED those numbers. they arent cool little logos for the fun of stenciling shit unto a train. they are tracking numbers to know what is in the fr8 and where it has to be unloaded etc. so when some idiot hides the numbers they have to reverse check to find out whats in that particular car, not fun.

    trains are really for a more special crowd of writers, if you cant show the respect it takes then stay out of yards.

    Going over the numbers is not a big deal, talk to any train worker (while you have no paint on you/arent painting or doing anything illegal) they will gladly tell you that they dont care. Notice how the very same numbers are stenciled on both trucks of the car, at the top corner of the coupler edge, and on the coupler itself) so its not any harder for them to get the numbers right there, not to mention if you know so much about trains and i am stupid you surely know what a manifest sheet is, it tells them exactly what cars they need and where they are stored so even if you stamped every number on a car including the ones on the undercarriage you can only see laying on the ground they could simply look at their sheet and see "okay BNSF 722455 is here and the next car is BNSF 793990, so this has to be CSXT 161192." As far as unloading goes, that is tracked by a small piece of metal or plastic fixed to a boxcar door or the bottom of a hopper gate (this is much worse to paint over than the numbers and lots of people do it, if this is painted over they know EXACTLY when it was painted) that has a serial number, and industry/ car owner name, this serial number is read by the people at the industry not to guarantee it is the right car but the right LOAD making it much more effective than road numbers. Road numbers are how they refer to cars on manifest sheets, not how they track shipments and they are not absolutly necessary to the railroad. For example a SIMPLOT insulated french fry car with ARYS and PIER pieces on it that you have seen in several magazines (over the numbers jrsx6138 i believe) has been riding for years and will never be stamped, if you ever hit a SIMPLOT and you dodge the numbers you are stupid because MR. J.R. SIMPLOT does not restamp his railfleet, different cars different story obviously but theres some cars that are in between because they have different owners/ leasers like RAILBOXES, kill the numbers on a RAILBOX it might get stamped tomorow it might take 3 years it might never happen. Car owners are the ones who decide whether or not they will put numbers back but there are several shortlines and leasers that do not re-stamp their cars because it simply is not necessary, unless the black box is gone, those will always be replaced.
    Dont fucking tell me im not a "special crowd" of writer, i hop freights, paint freights, bench freights, and am a pretty big railfan. And as a matter of fact have met almost all of the workers at most of the yards i paint that your trying to tell me to "stay out of" How often do workers walk up on you painting and tell you to have a good night and walk away? freights and cleans are what im all about and yep i only dodge them numbers 85% of the time, go fucking cry about it. Dont talk to me like some fucking toy.

    to everyone else sorry for this long ass post, i got some railfan/benching film at target i'll post some flickeroos in the next couple days.

    they've been putting reflectors on them because, like dr evil said, when some places don't have lights at where trains cross people sometimes don't see them in the dark, so they get the reflectors to sign off from the car lights...and they put them in the same places normally...one right in the middle them in the middle of each of those halfs.

    i was late to work today cause i had to wait for a freight to go by in front of my car.

    it was an old Guilford Rail engine though, but it was nothing but gondolas and clean boxes. there was one real nice flat green box, i think it was a paper company.

    yo while we're on the IC flat topic here i want to throw something out and see what you all think. the jero is from 99 and the pepe from 2000, both sick. but if your going to look at it one way the pepe is a sidebust, now i don't give a fuck about people going next to anyone if its a dope car and the pannel is open and i sure dont mind seeing both of these guys on one car.

    what do all you guys that say sidebusting is gay have to say about this, i always thought the whole subject was fucked...
