I'm sorry, but I don't see the world as all black or white, ie, I can see shades of gray (or grey if one is from the other side of the pond); and can see a huge difference btwn something like this and seeing whole trains which have been tagged. I believe our legal system also sees such gradation. No?I wonder if all the folks yukking it up are equally amused by graffiti covering everything. Vandalism is vandalism, and it's pretty hypocritical to pick and choose, saying "This kind is funny" but "That kind is terrible." It's ALL defacement, disrespect, and eye pollution.
WhoozOn1st, My observation of your posts over many years is that you try to inject humor into your posts when ever you can. I have enjoyed those posts and travelogues. The people above know that this is vandalism. They are not supporting vandalism or graffiti. They are just trying too inject some humor into a post as you have done many times in the past.I wonder if all the folks yukking it up are equally amused by graffiti covering everything.

I would be very surprised if those two letters randomly wore off.I assumed wear rather then vandalism. Do these letters actually peel off that easily?
It sure doesn't look random. I just thought it would be difficulty to remove the lettering. And said difficulty would make it doing this intentionally risky.I would be very surprised if those two letters randomly wore off.I assumed wear rather then vandalism.

They may have (I'm sure they do), but what're the odds of only the "cl" washing off and leaving exactly that.Well, color me dumb because I thought they wore off during washing or something.
If you cannot purchase business class on any Superliner train why would anyone be expecting it?Well then I think coach class is used to differentiate from bc. Non railfans would not no that superliner trains don't have bc.
Oh! No! I see it now:Come to think of it, it's not like being called "Coach Class" is that much nicer than being called a Coach Ass, at least in my view. Why couldn't they just say "Coach Car" or the like? Instead it comes across like some sort of judgmental caste style designation.

Class action (pun intended) suit against Amtrak alleging insulting language and discrimination against lower income people. Activists demand cars be renamed "Cost conscious Prudent Passengers Only"
