yeh i've pieced in a yard at like dinner time, 7ish and i was a little sketched. midnight or later is a little chiller. but if u wanna walk and paint between the lines of cars so no one can see u 5 or 6 might be alright. use judgement
thankss yeah i was just gonna do like a quik piece.. and plus theres cars that are so far away from the actual building and all those other clumps of trains where the workers are so i guess itll be iight
hobos will shank you...train yard people will shank you then call the cops, trains could run you over or break stuff
i met a hobo onece and he was pretty nice.. i should have offered him some mc donalds. but anyways, you can go safely to a small yard during the evening, just kinda look around and make sure you dont see anyone and everything should be fine. and look around periodically.
cops hide in trainyards and trackside bushes with tazers and shit. true story. don't believe me? walk the tracks a couple times before you start painting, without being seen.
why? because you think it's not true? it happened to one of my homeboys. cop straight up jumped out of the bushes after he was done with his first outline...tackled him and said "don't try to be a hero and run, you'll get fucked up". it's because dumbass writers blow up the tracks by using main roads to walk onto the tracks... go through a neighborhood the borders the trackside... much easier and less heated.
haha yo kid unless you live in the middle of no where and the cops have nothing better to do that'll never happen. i've painted in all hours of the day early morning, mid afternoon, 2 in the morning. i dont like painting in the dark its more low pro but you cant see worth shit and then the next day you catch it rollin and you missed something. like buddy said earlyer, if you get inbetween the cars in the day time thats a nice spot. but then you cant really take a good picture. and dont listen to you ipod, i know i used too yes it was a mistake. you cant hear workers creeping, always be aware of whats going on and try to limit the times you go in the yard drunk because you just fuck shit up you wish you never did the next day.ha aaaa shit
idk where any of you live... but if someone calls the boys by me, 1st of all, they probobly wont show up, 2nd...if they want to, they will have a damn hard time finding me..do you know how many entrances and ins there are in a yard? ill see a cop looong b4 they see me cops around here have way better shit to be doing with their time then chilling in bushes waiting for writers as far as the ipod thing goes, thats some of the stupidest shit you can possibly do you need to be listening for all types of shit when your doing freights....ocoming trains, bums, security, cops, crazy fucks, crazy animals im a paranoid dude, ill hear all types of shit when im painting and more then 50% of the time i hear somthing, its actually somthing, and god knows what the fuck would happen if i was getting my bomb on listening to music, do that at a chill spot where you dont have to worry about shit comming up on you
1. you would be lucky if you ever see a hobo, these people live their whole lives without being seen. They will not "shank you" or rape you, or cut off your hand for the "frisco". if anything they would probably be concerned with you lookin shady creepin around in their area 2. dont be so nieve....all yards with any amount of activity has some kind of security.....trains are fuckin expensive, and loaded with everything from food, to plasma tvs, to cars. They are gonna protect that shit......... you thinking they arent there just makes the police's job easier
obviously you gotta scope a yard otu without paitn the first time your gunna hit it, but what would they do if they caught u just trustpassing? like no paint.
alright anyoen wanna give me a simple like step bi step as for what to look out for when im scoping out/ paintign a yard? liek what shoudl i do just sneak in, look around, fien a train and paitn cautiously or what?
i mean look for escape routes and shit.how your gonna get in.where the trans are.are their usually alot of people there.some places ive seen them have poeple in trucks and shit sittin down the road from the yards.ive never paonted one but i mean it would be lke anything else.get in get out and dont get seen.also i think some places have eletric fences to.it shouldnt be hard tho...
NAh son one time I went ta tha yard n I was trynna find a way thru tha fence lol fukin bum was like yo man thers whole over here and helped me thru that shiit me n my boi was like hell yeah n we gave him 10 buks told that man ta keep an eye out...hahah coolest bum i eva met so actually u can and will meet bums at the yard.
Don't get too close to the engines, seeing as that if there is someone there, they are going to be nearby there. Check to see how active the yard is, the one I have near me the trains stop for an hour and start back up, and with 12 lines, it can get pretty active. If you have a lot of lines, just paint the outside cars, don't get mixed up with the lines, once trains start moving it could be a while before they leave, and if the watchmen start coming down your line, you're in hot water. Check to see if there are any cans around, shows how active your yard is and can give you a sense of how much the people keep an eye out for writers. Keep a mental note of what cars are hissing and which ones are bumping. Stay away from bumping cars! Moving trains can be quiet too, don't let them decive you. Keep your head on a swivel. On either sides of the tracks there should be tire tracks from where the yard watch goes up and down the lines, keep in mind that route in relation to your escape route. They also can go down the train lines (happened to me the other night) so keep your eyes and ears clear.
