Does any body have any good ones? Only one I know is you might be a railfan if you call out traffic signal indications as you go through a intersection.
…you walk around blowing in the top of your 20 oz. pop bottle, making it sound like a railroad whistle!
…you walk around reciting out loud the computer generated defect detector messages .from your favorite railroad…
YOU LIKE TRAINS!
You choose a hotel because it is near the tracks and ask for a trackside room…*been there…done that myself a number of times…
…you stand outside in the middle of a severe thunderstorm warning with no car, or shelter…and try to keep your camera dry just to catch a regular BNSF Z-train…
Or, as in my case, a glass root beer bottle with a picture of the buisness car “Northland” and named likewise.
that one thier might land you in a state provied “vacation away from socitiy” facility… with stregth jackes and regluer injections of medication…

You do whistle signal 15L with your car horn as you approach an intersection; or at least make whistle noises in the privacy of your car…
You approach a railroad grade crossing and hope to be stopped by a train.
There are two routes to your non- railroad vacation destination…a 4 lane Interstate, and a 2 lane state highway that will add an hours time to the trip…you choose the slower 2 lane route because it parallels the Railroad Mainline in hopes of catching a train…
You think Dodge has nothing to do with trucks.
thats me [:D] [:p] [:0] [|)]
If you fall off your bike and check if the camera is ok before you notice you have a huge gash on your knee [yeah] ( been there and done that actually )

IF you sit at a railroad crossing for hours on end waiting for that perfect train to roll on by.[:D][:D][:D]
You see a train coming and stop at the railroad crossing even though the lights are not flashing and the gates are up, and hope no vehicles come up behind you.
People at work ask you the questions about freight cars and routings, or think you’d be interested in something new that they saw (they’re right, of course).
you walk around muttering the specifications of your favorite locomotive.(done that)

If you get pulled over from the cops for wacthing trains to long.
It happened to me.
[:D] I did that years ago up in (near?) Bangor,Maine. Well,at approximately 3AM the local switcher GP7 572 rumbled by on her way up an industrial spur into the Bangor airport![:D] That was one time I was glad to have been awakened in the middle of the night. She was off her usual assignment, the Lewiston Lower branch, where I saw and photographed sister 562 at work the day before.
