I originally posted this problem in the Spring of 2010. A couple of months later, the Nashville area was hit with flood damage to to roads, homes and even railroad tracks. I knew it might take some time for CSX to respond and take care of this problem. It has been exactly a year since the flood and as of today, the graffiti is still visible on both sides of the trestle. Therefore, I have not intention of removing this until it is. Thanks!

CSX Railroad owns the bridge trestle. The graffiti on top is approximately 50' from the ground, and will need to be removed from the top by the railroad company. Public Works' graffiti crew checks the most tagged areas weekly to try and stay on top of it, and remove graffiti on the sections that can be reached from the ground. Our inspector did not find any recent graffiti on OHB going toward I-40. But that section between HWY 70S and I-40 is owned and maintained by TDOT.
Public Works has forwarded your complaints to both CSX and TDOT.

We have reported this graffiti to CSX for removal. They will have a crew in the area the first week of September, and we have been told it will be taken care of then. CSX is not a Metro agency, in the future you may email them directly at:

UPDATE: I wrote CSX for the second time this year back in November 2011 and finally received a response letter that pretty much told me they really have no time to deal with my little complaint and they'll get around to it when they feel like it.
They also suggested I use their website "for more information on how to submit a request", which makes no sense as that is how I submitted my first two requests!!!!! See newly added photo image of their letter dated Dec. 12, 2011. UNBELIEVABLE. Maybe this will set a record for oldest SeeClickFix complaint here in Nashville.

In August 2013, I got the following reply from Dist. Councilman Sheri Weiner when I pressed her for an update on a supposed school project to paint this tressel: "I wanted to give you an update on this Overpass although it is in a different district than am responsible for. This specific location would be covered on one side by Bo and the other side by Carter Todd. i have copied both of them on this email. Bellevue exchange club, our local council members, friends of Warner Park, the apartment complex at the overpass colonial grand, Ensworth high school, Nashville Christian school, and Hillwood high school have all come together To work with CSX on covering this graffiti laden property with a mural depicting the history of Bellevue. This project is well under way and sometime this year when the art students at the three schools complete the painting end of the project we will be placing that on the overpass with protective material in order to manage that unsightly mess. This project has been in process for a couple of years and it just takes time to get the money required and the permissions and approvals in order to get something like this done. Please feel free to get in touch with any of us if you have any questions. Have a great rest your week."
I plan to follow up with my Councilman Bo Mitchell, 35th District.

Thank you for your response! I keep hearing from Council Rep Sheri Weiner that this project is 'still in the works', even though she knows I'm having a hard time believing her. LOL. It so hard to understand how long this has taken to get going...and how much longer (another year or two?) to get it done. I just hope whatever you put up there will last a while. The paint job at the other railroad overpass in River Plantation is already looking very weathered and stained over the past three years since it was covered in a mural.
With all this wait, CSX or someone could have painted the existing graffiti!!!! Instead, we are forced to just endure it year after year. Thanks and good luck.

Seven years, four months and counting......
Still no action to cover up this graffiti with some plain grey or white paint. How hard is it to for CSX to invest maybe ten minutes of time and help keep our community attractive and clean????
To answer my own question: It must be REALLY HARD, I guess.
