Vecht against graffiti – why colorful trains are actually an expensive “pleasure”

Date:

The almost hopeless fight against graffiti, which is for some and for others, material damage: lubricated wagons are regularly cleaned in the ÖBB workshop in Linz. In the previous year, cleaning cost 4.5 million euros.

“The graffiti are becoming more and more. It can happen to you that you clean a train, and the next day it is smeared again,” says Uwe Lasinger, for the foreman of the cleaning team in the Linz ÖBB workshop. What pushes creative nozzles again, have to clean hard-working train staff, a unpleasant company, especially if the objects of the desire of the syringe are older wagons and locomotives. Their scattered and visibly tired paint is not necessarily better due to the extensive cleaning procedure.
