Kicking off my Freight Train Monikers collection!!!
While I am out benching and not flicking pieces on the fr8s, I find myself looking for box cars that have no pieces looking for “hobo tags,” “streaks,” “oil bars,” “worker tags,” “freight monikers,” “chalk graffiti,” “boxcar art” of infamous monikers we hear about through stories, net, and other writers. If you are a fr8 addict, then you should know about these guys who where the original fr8 kings leaving tags since back in the days of war world era. Early writers have got into the art form of streaking. In my eyes it is an art form as these guys are expressing themselves with their own unique tag.
I find JD King Esquire’s story very interesting as a rich man by day who loved to get filthy and ride the rails on the weekend to get a view of America you cannot see on the roads.
There is many more to come, so check back!!!
