Coalie Art, Photographed 10/04/18

These photos are of a train passing through West Brownsville, PA. These greasepen tags were once used by hobos, but now they are used by brakemen who check the trains for safety issues. Often whimsical and lonely, they speak volumes about empty spaces in America, especially those between people.
