A place to post moniker drawings on freight trains and catch out spots. Aerosol tags and graffiti will be removed. There are other subs for those.

Do not request any personal information or post any identifying information about anyone behind the marks. You will get banned for this.

No self promotion or self identification. This is not r/graffhelp. We’re not here to teach you how to mark cars.


"Monikers, also known as Streaks or Hobo art is a form of graffiti. Monikers are the names or drawings on the sides of a freight car on freight trains. Monikers are produced with a solid paint stick, industrial crayon, or a lumber crayon. Monikers serve the purpose for a moniker artist to gain fame or recognition, or to share stories with others. Many moniker artists have a unique design they produce, and sometimes write the area they are from, or date that the moniker was produced. Many of the artists are train hoppers, and railroad workers."

An Interesting Moniker Spot

As a conductor I love seeing these things on a variety of cars. This one caught me a bit off guard as I was tying handbrakes.
