Sighted on a westbound freight train in the wilds of Northern Montana.

[dewsgirl]

[irisblue]

3. That graffiti is amazingly well done

[Heartstrings]

4. Bravo!

[MontanaMama]

5. You bet!

Look at those larch trees!! Best time of year in MT....for fall color and impeachment.

[crazytown]

21. Monty Python

[MontanaMama]

24. I've watched a lot of Monty Python

and don’t think I’ve ever seen this.

6. She'll be gone 500 miles

when the day is done.

7. Is that the train they call the City of New Orleans?

How can one tell, exactly?

[Trailrider1951]

14. Actually, the City of New Orleans, which runs every day from Chicago to

New Orleans (overnight train) is a passenger train. This one only hauls freight.

[Harker]

17. I was thinking of how far

the message would travel.

[mr_lebowski]

19. There's an old song called City of New Orleans ...

and the lyrics say "i'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done" so that was the reason for my response ...

[Trailrider1951]

20. Yes, I see

And so will the many, many people that get a glimpse of it as it rolls on down the track to its final destination of where, exactly? Those tracks can lead to Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and points north into Canada and south into California, before maybe rolling eastward again, fully loaded. Oh, yes, MANY people will get to appreciate that artwork.

[Harker]

16. Maybe the club car

is out of the frame...

8. Izaak Walton Inn?

I wish I was there.

[Trailrider1951]

11. Yes, that's correct

I took a few days to go out there by train (I'm in the Tacoma area). My God what a beautiful place! I need to go back when the weather is warmer and I have more time to spend there. And it sure doesn't hurt that it's less pricey than Whitefish or West Glacier. Maybe I'll see you there at the end of next Summer!

9. I like to collect meaningful railcars for an eventual model railroad layout

will this car be available in HO scale soon?

[Trailrider1951]

12. That would be great! But you could always buy a BNSF freight car and create a reasonable facsimile

for your collection!

15. In the immortal words of Sheldon Cooper:

Of course we know it's O gauge or no gauge.

Just kidding, not trying to start a rumble

[rwsanders]

30. Oh heck, I'd never get worked up over that.

That show is the only reason I wish we'd kept cable.
I love the episodes with the Star Trek cast members, and there must have been a powerful episode when Leonard Nimoy died.

[Yeehah]

10. I fucking hate grafitti

Fuck the vandal whoever he/she is.

[Trailrider1951]

13. Uh, I think this is closer to artwork than graffiti... I love artists, despite some of their

choices. They make us think, and make our lives more interesting.

[Yeehah]

23. I don't care if it's the Mona Fucking Lisa

If you put it on someone else's property without permission, it's vandalism

[bdamomma]

18. that is

great.

[Javaman]

22. there is this story I heard about when nixon was president...

he had gone to the ballet and at it's conclusion. The dancers came out for their bow.

one Ballerina, when she came out, dropped/opened a clothe sign that read impeach from under her garment.

that was a powerful statement, because she knew that nixion would be in the audience.

fast forward today.

the orange asshole would never be found dead at the ballet or anything of cultural importance, but imagine if you will; a golf caddy or a worker at mcdonalds doing the same thing along the lines as the ballerina.

I actually can believe that happening.

[dalton99a]

26. A beautiful sight.

[2naSalit]

27. Cool! ...nt

[flotsam]

28. Railroad Trivia...

See that mountain goat built into the fence-It is the logo of the Great Northern Railway...

...and look-the woods are full of cabooses (cabeese?)...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

29. That's at the Izaak Walton Inn, in Essex, Montana.

Izaak Walton Inn

The graffito could have been applied anywhere.
