I have this spot, it's pretty shit...A freight train comes along and reverses all the way in and starts to get filled with this weird substance by these big tractors, it moves along every 10-15mins once the drivers engine has gone past its a ok to paint...Only thing 10-15mins is no time for quality...Fuck painting euro fat cap outline shit...The spots only good for throws and tags...I only like doing quality on steel.
have you staked out the spot? how do you know they arent "leaving them there overnight" on a regular basis? Just cause its not a spot you know about, doesnt mean it isnt a spot.
or a set up recon leatherneck...
they do that ya know...
ok idk wher to ask this so ill put it here.. how exactly do you find a train yard? ive used google earth and found TONS of layups but when i go to check em out theyr always very active during the night time.. or theyre right in the middle of town or have a busy street running parallel to them.. ive asked the other writers around my area where they paint trains but they get all stingy and defensive and wont tell me.. i stay in northern california and i know there are yards around the bay and i have a feeling there might be a couple in the valley.. anyone wanna help me out?? how have you found your train yards??
most cats arent gonna tell you where their yards are becuase one they dont want to fuck up their yard and they dont want to compete with you for space.. live in .i think your problem is you live in NORCAL.i hear its pretty active up there but i mean they usually keep trains over night somewhere along the track which is where i usually go.i dont fuck with yards to much its to much of a hassle when i have a perfectly good spot 2 miles closer anyways.but if it were me i would just go later like 2 or 3 am maybe and see if its still active.my place is pretty much silent after about 8ish...
lol.the best way i found was one not to be seen which should be fucking obvious enough and two to clean up after yourself.the workers check the lines regulary...also dont write on shit in the yard other than the train itself and dont test paint on tracks.they notice that shit...and if they catch you painting there its an asswhoopin.which will be completely justified...theyll just say"oh well we were trying to stop him from leaving and he put up a fight" or something like that.its much easier tho to find a place somehwere on the track that isnt a yard where they keep cars to paint...less security and usually less activity in general...at least where im at.basicly everything thats already been covered haha.
my yard is pretty chill i've never seen security there, i usally go when theres no workers, what you gota do is recon the yard, there will be a day or days when there arnt any workers or any thing, lets say your doing a piece in a yard and you hear some one coming, it could be a worker, writer or any one YOU must get outa there as quick as possiabel take a plastic bag insted of a back pack because you can leave the plastic bag if you get chased or if you hear some one coming and need to get outa there, and dont go over the numbers
