    Model Railroader demographic

    Just out of sheer curiosity, does anyone a general idea of what region or state has the highest concentration of model railroaders? My guess is the northeast, particularly Pennsylvania - or California. im not looking to start a business or anything, again just curious

    Reporting Marks with X at the end

    the most common example is railbox/railgon. I believe i read in trains magazine years ago they are owned by TTX and are in business for the specific purpose of leasing rolling stock to railroads. I have seen quite a few RailBoxs with CSXT reporting marks, same with railgon.

    What is it and why?

    with all due respect - the fact that it is vandalism and a crime was understood from the onset. I am in no way condoning or attempting to legitimize graffiti on freight cars or damage to railroad property in general. I was merely sheding light on the FACT that the majority of graffiti damage...

    What is it and why?

    gangs rarely paint graffiti on freight trains and in general. If your in LA or Chicago in some of the more depressed neighborhoods - you might still find some gang graffiti. Id say 98% of the graffiti seen on American rolling stock is painted by subburban teenagers and young adults. these...
