Not my photo, but this car hung around Terre Haute, IN in plastics service for a few weeks last year. INRD even parked it near Fruitridge Ave so people could get photos of it.

Here is a extreme art job. (even though the art is not that great. Still a lot of paint)

Well, it does look like there's some 'talent' out there...as well as some folks with a lot of time on their hands.
Some even show at least a minimum of courtesy in not covering up reporting marks. That probably takes some of the urgency away from the railroads' need to repaint their equipment, preserving the 'art' for all to see. There's no denying that it is eye-catching.
But it's also apparent that these same people are spending an awful lot of time trespassing on railroad property. Do they climb up and down on the cars to reach all areas of their 'canvas'? Do they set up ladders or scaffolds? Small wonder railroads don't want any public---railfans or taggers---around their property these days.

I just love when its well done art. Sad that its on a train car, but that just means its constantly displayed in a new place!
