ICHABOD is the undisputed king of freight graffiti, go anywhere in North America & watch the lines; nearly every single time you will see an ICHABOD. This is a feat that an extremely low number of writers have achieved in the entire history of freight graffiti. ICHABOD speaks on how he achieved this level of widespread presence on the lines, how he got into graffiti, the exact number of freights he has done, deeply studying freights, how he keeps track of every freight he has done in codes, his past pyromaniac tendencies & interest in chemistry, his ideas on money, our society & more.

Me and my dad would watch trains growing up and we would always look for Ichabod’s! He passed a year ago and every time I’m switching in the yard and I see one I have to touch it! Thank you ich for makin precious memories.
Respect Brother. May he rest in Peace
I haven't heard he passed
@@kazanpkhe’s talking about his dads passed.
Respect brother..He is right there touching the trains with you...God Bless
all respect brother, may he rest in peace and know he’s with you checking out freights with you always!
nothing more satisfying than seeing an ICH freight roll by
Crazy to see Ich qoute me in this.Salute to him and all his work.Great interview
Ichabod and Big Miles are freight train KINGS. Period.
Miles is a beast too
@@ceramikxxx5882 for real and such a cool dude, he doesnt have problem replying to people with tips.
Kwest is the top dog. .. maybe less quantity, but still has done a ton of very high quality fr8s
so good, I could listen to him all day, what an inspiration. He makes me want to get methodical with it, seems like that would be so fun and satisfying.
You should start pumping UA-cam, Marcher ! X
Dude is a fucking KING!!
Hands down one of the greats sick to finally see a solid interview with ICH!!!
With no jumper having ich on I’ll say I really like how you guys handle interviews with writers way more lol.
I like different interview styles. Adam22 isn't really great/professional, but I feel he does it with heart.
adam 22 was a sick interview but almost complete waste of time
This guy treats graffiti like Walt and Jesse robbing the train on Breaking Bad 🚂
A true king is a humble king. I’ll always soak in everything this man says. His work alone speaks for itself.
This isn’t my UA-cam account im useing it’s my friends but I’ll get to the point. ICHABOD you are a legend. Ever since I started writing street art 15 years ago you’ve been my favorite, I’m from New England and there’s nothing like seeing one of your freights go by. Would be honored to to go out one night and hit the lines, or streets with you man
Legend says this is the coolest dude to ever be in a Metallica video
Guy has more panels than anyone out there on fr8s 🏆
Been catching his stuff since in the early 2000s
Hell ya. He almost doesn’t need to be benched cuz you just know!
Big Miles has millions of panels also.
@@NineteenEighty8 Hes a beast well ,the thing is the fr8 pool is so different in the U.s. we dont get nearly the amount of reefers and different cars in Canada
@@NineteenEighty8he got the number one spot in Canada
This dude is so articulate is amazing to hear him talk about this stuff. Love when he talks about the branding element and the pieces that are impossible to read.
ICH in my eyes is top 3 writers in Graff history. NOBODY has hit the freights like him.
in Europe there are people who have similar amount, for example ZONKE 73 or me, but I'm still very far from 6134freights, as I'm 10 years younger than Ichabod and also hitting streets and clean trains a lot
@@fotoz2363 no
king157.... but Ich is up there too.. king 157 was bombin w ghetto birds and gang bangers out west ... ichabod had it easy up north east is too sweet and easy no ghetto birds or gang bangers creepin around...
@@fotoz2363 you really just suggested you have a similar amount? Bruh who are you
@@PlutoTheGod check out writers from Berlin,Paris and Hamburg and you will be surprised to find how much they have, and yes they got bigger amounts than Ich, check Mozes and Taps and their project to paint 1000 clean trains in 1000 days and they've done in multiple times
I bench every day, ICH is on nearly every line that goes by. No joke, coast to coast beast.
East coast ? I need a good a bench in nj
For real
*To this day I still see ICH on trains from Boston to Worcester to Montreal* one of the first tags I can ever remember etched in my brain, the big block ICH in black and white, just rocked up on a big old rusty train by Boston Gravel. It's still there to this day, and not a single toy has touched it. That's respect.
Much love and respect to all writers who risk their life, safety and freedom to share their talent with the world.
I love that he knows about how many freights there are in the country
One important lesson from The Boondocks I learned is that an artist doesn’t have to sign their name and you just know who wrote it
So knowledgeable, I’m taking notes on this!! Awesome to hear someone in the field giving free game
FINALLY! it was always in the back of my head, when is he going to come through? I’m actually kind of surprised he did…..cheers to y’all for keeping it going.
King!
I live in Maine and I’m fuckin blessed to see his work on trains near my house and all over my region. Super sick to hear his voice for the first time.
Same, its been such a treat to see his stuff around town as well as rolling.. True King.
Yeah been seeing his stuff In Portland area and feel like I know him lmao from these smart interviews. No dummy! Methodical and planned and intent with amazing skill and quality.
this one’s legendary! PEACE AND LOVE
Loved listening to this episode can’t wait to hear more of his story🙏
True king! Much respect from Slovakia, Europe, hats off for the freight god himself Ichabod!
I bench this homie on the reg
@@CANControlGRAFFITI Good for you.
slovenska fr8 scena dost ozila za posledne roky big up
thank you guys so much for all your work
Shout out ich man . One love from Los Angeles
very interesting approach, love that he been doing interviews.
i walked up on a trackside ich from 2002. i stood there in shock for a min
There's still a lot of early 2000s ICH freights riding out there. Keep ya eyes peeled
I see ich everyday in Boston. This is so cool
So far you and Jaber are the only 2 tags I look for when out filming trains, exciting when I see you here in Az. passing. There are times when your tags pass I shout out on my video. You do get known as other that finger paint. When a train passing by at 50 to 70 MPH you two stand out.
I get the most excited to see this guys work
Phuc yea good to see ich. doing interviews I have seen his art for years on the Freights!!!.. keep killing it ich.
6134 cars. Life goals. 💪🎨💣
Ye boi
Boy don't play
Aesop rock dropped a Ichabod shout out in one of his songs.. he forever gold for that.
What song??
No shit
My daughter and I count your work every time the train goes by 😍
Sick
My kids and I spot ICH and Jaber.
@@EatsLikeADuck I just saw yesterday a huge Misfits piece I believe was done by Jaber. If I ever win the lottery that the kind of art I'm going to collect, boxcars 🏁
Very well spoken graffiti writer
So glad you got him on
What a sincere connoisseur of freights. I'm not surprised but still, I respect actually hearing him speak. His brain has to be filled with like 80 percent files and information on freights lol. This man seems like a genius of the rails. Idk if he's ever linked with Swampy but that would be a cool collab, especially for a zine. He's like if a moniker dude and a straight bomber chick had a child.
Saw your work in Windsor Canada. Really put the hook in me.
Dude has hit an insane amount of freights
i always love seeing ich rolling by. what he said at the end if he flipped styles and threw his hand and crew next to it i would love that too. classic ich and skull will never get old tho
Dope interview
This man here is nothing but a legend 🔥🔥💥 great interview
Ichabod my friend so good to hear your insights..love and respect my friend if it wasn't for your one tag that I caught that one day when I was a young kid with little nuts I don't think I would be doing what I'm doing today... ...thank u..u need to come down to twin falls idaho and check it out ...easy p z
My Job sits right across the road from a set freight train tracks . Ive seen ICH a couple times. Mad up!
What a legend! I live on the west coast of fla & started Benching , after yrs of being dwn with graffiti in general but going out to the yard ( a very small one) and seeing an ICH , was very excited! Dude certainly gets around
Art is art. He definitely is one of the best. I also love the old hobo style. The true fright train writers.
so crazy I live in MA and I see ICHABOD pieces every day. For a while I thought he as a local guy lol
He is from new england...
Either From NH or MA
Crazy to hear this guy talk, never thought i would. Since i was a young child ive always seen his freights up and down the east coast. The ich and skulls always stood out and i had this image of him in my mind even as a kid. Amazing.
check their graff movie Year Round Metal Enjoyment
Yea I'm from Boston I can't believe this I love youtube
CRME
2023
Literally been seeing ICH pieces running through the Chicago area for decades, this dude is the definition of a legendary freight writer. So cool to hear his insights on the scene.
Excellent interview
An artist tagger with a conscience
Like having a Sasquatch in the studio!
I'm on that Sasquatch type shit🦍
Ichabod the Rail God🦾🦾🦾
I'd love to sit around a campfire and listen to ICH and Jaber tell stories.
absolute legend, stoked you guys were able to have him on the show!
Interesting fellow for sure. I've hiked to the remotest places in New England, hours and hours of walking tracks, and would ALWAYS find his tag, or bubble fill in. It is inevitable. 👍💪👊
Insane you got him on
There's was an ich benched at the eagle claw yard here in the 303 💯💯💪
So cool to hear him verbalize his thoughts about trains and freight graffiti.. I randomly just posted some old 35mm pics of his cars from 20 yrs ago. Dude gets respect for his longevity for sure.
💀👉 I C H A B O D
Just caught a fresh one the other day. Guys a beast
On IG? Or...where can we 👀 em
@@pnwrob7041 ive been seeing ICH work in Providence Rhode Island for years now..the railyard off 95, right in the open..multiples too
The Best of the Best!
Way to go Ich!
Thank you for pronouncing “gondola” correctly
super easy to go all city in Seattle from 2006-now the yards are hot up here tho cuz of the homeless.
GOD I LOVE THIS MAN!!
i havent had an eye for graffiti until recently, i work at a rail yard and see amazing tags, like more than expected. im not sure who these people are, and the people you have on your show and in the mags have basic styles compared to these people. what im saying is the things i see on rail cars are very abstract with their name, its hard to even read their 5-6 letter name but they have multiple layers on them even with a moniker. shoutout to ichabod too.
Ich is a true railfan
He avoids others
The respect of other writers, changed my mind about him.
really interesting to see how artwork seems to go hand in hand with the fate of the country.
Well said.
I see a good bit of Ichs in new orleans. He even hit a spot right where jefferson and orleans parish meet. Its gone now
Legend!
well done
I live in a country, where hitting freights is almost on the same level as passenger trains in some countries. Its not chill and the buff is very real. Theres only a few dedicated writers who started writing on freights recently. As a European, Im envious of the freight train scene in the US. My dream is to paint a freight there one day and hopefully see an Ichabod piece.
where's that Ireland or UK? freight are easy pretty much anywhere in Europe
So dope
what a legend
I see this guys freights in n teaneck,nj Allmost Everyday. He’s got alot of pieces out there
“Tankers need some love” was the inspiration of a personal campaign for me circa 2016, but unfortunately they’re buffing them oddly enough
same over here in Europe, but we still do them
@@fotoz2363 hell yeah man, I hit some tankers in Riga, Latvia a few times
Ich is one of my all time favorites..such a monster...
ICH, Jase, Aware, Jaber…the real legends.
Mec®o
Hail the mighty ICHABOD. Nobody nicer.
Deadly!
I agree with his view points
All-time king of freights!!!!
RIP TIE ONE
Just saw ich on a grain hopper today
Dear Mr Ichabod, may I please paint your name on my toy train car, I'm too scared to paint a real train car and the train parks out my window every Sunday night like clock work. I a huge fan of yours, Chicago here. Please 🙏🫶🏁
Humble.
is this full interview still on patreon? can't find it
Just saw Ich fillin in Queens...On a wall...that wierded me out
Where , I'm from Queens
My brother ICH. 💪💪💪
I’ve seen plenty of Ich freights here in upstate ny
Freaking Beast

Lots of ICH in the rust belt
Ichabod sounds like such a dude. This is a writer I’d like to have a conversation with.
maybe you could shake up his spray cans
goated
I got a street flick of ICH in 2002. My thumb is in the pic tho.
Oh shit! Good way to get me to pay for the patreon 😅.
lol its crazy to think you have to pay for interviews nowadays
@@yungshawty8607 you don’t have to if you dont want to,
@@markgordonfishing1393 i would love to see the interviews, but 30 bucks a month is too much for me
@@yungshawty8607 it wasnt $30
da rail god
