speaking of taggers...I was up in Roseville a few months ago...had to go to Railroad Hobbies for some N-Scale stuff, and listening to the standard hobby shop talk about UP Police in The Roseville Yard going so far as to harrass railfans OFF property...but what caught my eye was that as I was driving past the Roseville Yard office...Lo and Behold...SP's Pretty White Bay Window Caboose all decorated up for the SP Railroad Police....TAGGED COMPLETELY! Ironic...
