I photographed this railroad car sitting alone on a siding near a factory in Allen County, east of the town of New Haven, Indiana. I was standing on Edgerton Road, looking south.
All day long, there had been heavy rain, but I stopped here in the evening during a brief lull in the downpour, only to get rained on as I was setting up the camera. In a large print, the streaks of rain are visible in the air in front of the railcar!
Railcar graffiti has always fascinated me because so much of it is done on a very large scale, covering the entire side of a large railcar, as you see on this one. Many of them are much more elaborate designs. This is something that would have taken a lot of time to execute. How the Hell does someone put in such time and effort and escape being seen doing it, and why do it in the first place?

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
