Anything in the yard there similar to the train you were riding on?

The graffiti is being perpetrated by foreigners in those countries, mostly Italy it seems.  When we were there in 2011 I noticed it's extent.  Pity there isn't railroad detectives like the one that grabbed me when I was fifteen.  All I was doing was walking through the freight yard looking at the rolling stock.  He came out of nowhere.  

I abhor graffiti.  I don't give a **** about their so called artistic talents.  I do give a **** about destroying someones property.  

I know many modelers have either painted some of their rolling stock with graffiti and I believe there are some pieces available from manufacturers already painted with it.  I disagree with the mindset behind the thinking as it perpetuates the practice of destroying property.  

Just my opportunity to rant about a subject I feel strongly about. 

Italian graffiti was quite visible back in the 1990s.
