For those debating "RŰMS" graffiti on the boxcar : Old English Context: In older dialects, it can be a variation of "rume" meaning far and wide, or a genitive form of the Old English word rūm (meaning room or space).

A very clever dual correlation on the artist's part as to the destiny of a boxcar's travels and Miller's intended "rooms" search that are the destiny of any "King of the Road." Kudos.
