Here is some tag found on a railroad car. I'm not sure what it says, but there are some interesting things about it. The overall shape of the word and the designs behind it make the whole piece look like it's moving. It looks fast, like it would work well as you saw it move past you on the train. Another interesting thing is the orange strokes around the letterforms, they look like they were applied after the fill of the letterforms. It seems like the outlines are usually done first, but in this case it looks like it was done the other way around. Its just interesting to think about the thought and process put into making these tags.
