I did a lot of trains before, but now I slowed down, but I am doing a lot on the streets. There is one big reason just that I am mostly in the city. I have friends that live on the other side of the city and they have to travel to Amsterdam […] and they write on trains a lot, just to see their stuff up on the trains; whereas I am just biking around the city all day and I want to see my shit up on the city, you know ? - Raw

Some trains are kind of worth more. When writers meet they talk about different trains and different train yards where they’ve been. When you meet a new writer, you always have some places or trains to identify with and talk around. Local trains are generally more worth painting. For example the old Dutch banana train (the yellow one floor train called ‘doggie’), the Spanish ‘mirror trains’, Berlin’s yellow subway, Southern Sweden’s purple trains or Danish’s old red S-train. People used to go to Copenhagen just to paint that one. [Aso – 26, Stockholm]
