Another word pair: train graffiti

I used to love finding and shooting train graffiti and for several years it was my #1 source for images.  There is something fun & post apocalyptic wandering thru half abandoned rail yards and industrial areas, trying to avoid the police, searching for someones scrawl and art on these HUGE metal beasts.  Have you ever been just that close to a train as it starts to move... you feel the rumble rise up thru your feet, the clang and creak...like huge beasts waking from slumber. 
I gave up shooting trains when the police started showing up every time I was at my favorite train spot.  The hassle, "lets see your ID, lets search your bag."  kind of blew the fun out of it.
also my eye started finding other images that intrigued me more. 


Here are a couple word pairings/tags... from I think a well known hobo-ish tagger.
