Got tired of trying to read it, no idea on #2. The UP and Cotton Belt are old cars, the UP is showing a little more weathering from sun and elements. You can also tell that one is old because the original RR (Cotton Belt) is no longer around and its routes have been absorbed by other RRs, believe it was Southern Pacific and then UP as everything merged together. Kind of cool that they keep the old reporting marks (SSW) on it, not sure of the history/reasoning on that. Also of note, if you can get close enough to the cars they have a built on (BLT) date on the right hand side. It can be found in the black box, or sometimes to the side of that box. If the car has been repainted there will also be a stamp to tell you when it was repainted.

As always thanks for the info One Man Banned. Theprotester, I understand my opinion is an uneducated one from a non-writer so you can take it for what it's worth.

First I love all these, some really cool art. When I crop my flicks I like to include some background or the complete car itself because I think it puts the graffiti in proper context, what do you like to see context or just the graffiti itself?
