Richmond’s railroad history goes way back! Today we still see a fair amount of rail traffic. Norfolk Southern’s single track runs through Richmond from Cincinnati, Ohio to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, in what they call the New Castle District. Watching trains is called “benching” by graffiti writers. Benching freights was my first exposure to graffiti from outside the area, and even still today you can see graffiti from all over the country, Canada, and even Mexico roll by. From time-to-time I will be posting classic photos of freight train graffiti passing through Richmond, IN.
