While I was hoping for larger pictures throughout, to use as references for my detailing of model railroad freight cars, there are only a few large pictures that are of use. Most, are small photos, showing only the tags/writings and not the whole car, or of individual “artists plying their trade”. There is some discussion about each of the “artists”; I’m personally not interested in the why behind the graffiti – to me, while some call it art, I consider it defacement of private property (unless the owners give permission to do this, it’s wrong, IMHO) and an unsafe practice to go sneaking around trains, that could very well kill a person alongside or in-between cars. However, it is there on the freight cars and to model my freight cars prototypically, I have to understand and see what is being done to them. The photos are crisp and there are some pretty good background on the choice of trains, etc. I paid much less than the cover price and I consider it a worthwhile resource at
do conductors report trespassers?
what is a conductor to do if they see someone making graffiti or hooliganizing on commuter tracks… not freight lines, to my Graffiti Freight Trains knowledge freight conductors are pretty cool, they just do their job, and dont give a fuck.but what do passenger train conductors do (like metro north). do they call the metro cops? i mean like its not in anyway affecting their job if they neglect to say anything … right?any conductors out there have a answer?

This book does a great job of telling the story of freight train graffiti. The authors did a great job of finding the artist that were really putting in work with amazing style. This is apparent by looking at the covers with Pre-One and Sento! These two alone say enough about this book. The stories inside are a great read and I thought the pictures were clear and detailed well. If you ever tried to paint a freight train you will really appreciate the style in this book and how the artists featured developed such technique and skill. They make it look easy! The stories and the writers perspective in this book is amazing. I especially like the chase stories! haha. I highly recommend anyone a fan of graffiti, art or trains to purchase this book. This is the 101 when it comes to graff of freights!

This has to be one of the best books on writing to date. It sits right next to Subway Art. The photos are great, some historic, and they seem endless. There is also great text on the history of trains, the movement of writing on them in the US, and how it evolved over time. Really well done and thorough. Additionally, there are countless numbers of quotes with stories and perspectives from the artists themselves, which really sets the book in a class above many other books on the subject of writing. If you write, you want this book. No questions. If you are a train buff, you’ll enjoy the history and inside scoop on how all this “refurbishing” takes place. The authors have made a classic with this one.

Many people have said it earlier and better, so this is for the fence-sitters: If you like graff, get this book.

Unlike some of the people who have written bad reviews of this book, I actually BOUGHT IT and READ IT. I found the book to be chock full of stories and anecdotes. Some of the pictures are too small for my tastes, but this book doesn’t look like it was intended to be a picture book. It looks like a good resource for people who want to read firsthand accounts of what it is like to be a train writer, learn a little bit about the history and origins of the freight tag, and have plenty of pictures to go with the text.
If you want to see huge photos of incredibly intricate work that took several artists days to perfect, this is not your book. If you want to learn about the scene, read stories about the hazards and risks involved, and see a broad range of tags, from small hollow ones to huge full color end-to-ends, to hobo drawings, try this book.
How many trains would a train writer write when a train writer writes on trains? It’s in the book. Some books have pictures, but they don’t answer this one. This book belongs in my collection, and that’s where it will stay.
