Draw Bridge

Did the name Draw Bridge attract the taggers? How did they get up there? What's the message? All I understand is what it says at the bottom ~ UP NEVER DOWN ~ which may refer to the fact that the bridge is frozen in time in an upright position. The train used to run over it and you can still see the tracks. The bridge spanned the Corte Madera Creek where it flows into the Bay. The trestle may return to life if plans for a railroad are realized. Note San Quentin Prison in the background. And on the right the houseboat community which I have visited and photographed a number of times. I guess I was focusing on the graffiti in this picture but, in fact, the whole scene is interesting and invites some scrutiny.
