The Department of Transportation fixed a fence vandals cut before spray-painting the orange South Lake Union streetcar Monday.

Taggers spray-painted the orange South Lake Union streetcar early Monday, after cutting a chain-link fence at the maintenance base on Fairview Avenue North.

Police said a security guard reported seeing two men inside the base, and another outside, just before 3 a.m. Monday. No arrests have been made.

It took five hours today for a pair of workers from Goodbye Graffiti to remove the stains, while the red and purple trains covered the 1.3-mile route.
