An interesting trailer about the freight train artists/monikers in the usa. The movie is still in production, i'll let you know if and when it will release.
Teaser: Ramblin' is the documentary of a nationwide search for the anonymous and unknown artists of freight train monikers. This art form has been prevalent on the rails since the Great Depression but is often overshadowed by larger, aerosol train graffiti.
The film features artists such as the Colossus of Roads, The Rambler, Smokin' Joe, The Kodak Kidd and Conrail Twitty.
A bit nerdy impression of a large number of parked Transwaggons in the middle of germany. Due to the finance crisis they are temporarily not in use and have to rest in the fields. The low costs in Ebeleben-Keula for the use of the track seemed to be quite attractive for the Transwaggon AG from Hamburg.

Short trip in the 70s
Beside the freightspotting we take a short trip in the mid 70s. On youtube i found this rare footage of NYCity trains.
I always see simularities between the rusted subwaycars and dirty freight trains. Nevertheless the New York ones were painted at a higher rate than the freights but... we will see how the freight-writing will develop - especially in europe. Maybe in a few years we'll spot a panel near a t2b and a e2e next to a wholecar :)
