Was in the area a couple of weeks ago, all the cars are TTX well cars, spine cars and 89-foot intermodal flats. Only saw a couple with any sort of graffiti on them. Most are clean (new) or weathered and actually blend in quite well with the dead grasses and brush in the area. In many cases the cars are completely hidden by cuts and brush along the tracks. All crossings and field roads are cut, many bridges have no cars on them, and some prominant game trails are cut too. When I was last in the area the line of cars extended from Risbeck (almost up to the missing bridge) to Albion near the sewage ponds for the town. Don't get the problem, but these are bedroom communities for two college towns and everything has to be pretty. People are probably P.O.'d that the line hasn't been converted to a trail yet, or that the cars are interfearing with their trespassing.
