A few months ago, the station building at Rockingham got tagged. In some 45 years of train watching there, this is the only such incident I am aware of.
Out for a ride today, I discovered the new owner there, he had painted over the graffiti and was cleaning up after applying what looks to be the correct shade of cream or pale yellow paint to a few clapboards as a test. We had a brief chat, I thanked him for doing the work and wished him luck. He didn't say what he plans to do with the place, and I didn't ask, but hopefully he can find a way around the roadblocks that derailed the previous owner.
