The origin is called a "TAGGER". Cool shot!

I'm pretty sure it "taggers" were UP car dept guys. This yard isnt known for taggers & tresspassers are caught fairly quickly. The unit never left the yard so I suspect it was an employee(s). The paint used (red,yellow, silver) would all be available to the employees. Plus, I've seen "The Pacific" on several other units so I think its kind of a joke.

I think it was the UP guys too. I don't see taggers as being this useful (for the railroad) with their graffitti.
