So you’re driving along 35W North in Minneapolis Minnesota, that highway that basically collapsed in 2007, and you come along Broadway and BAM there’s an amazingly painted train! So you’ve gotta get up there! You’ve gotta get up to that train track! So you get off the highway and you walk up there and totally ignore all the train personnel! And you take the pics! And they are so pretty!

And oh, look at the kindness! This particular painter decided to leave the train numbers intact! The train people, they need those numbers. The train people, they appreciate the painters leaving the numbers.
