If you're with a friend and a train goes and they ask you about it, you can name the locomotives up front, the approximate date when they were built, what company owns them, the train symbol, it's point of origin, it's destination and it's stops along the way.

Did that last summer while getting eaten up by mosquitos. "Honey, I know the Amtrak is coming ANY minute now!" (my gf can be so patient with me sometimes) This was before I knew about Julie, though.PSK at CH45.2 wrote:You've been sitting in your car next to a green absolute for over an hour with your wife and you look at her and say, "Just five more minutes...I know it'll be here in just five more minutes."

I have 4.
If all you can think about in school or on the street is trains.
If your mom wonders how fast you pace the train on chicago dr and you say,"They have the same speed limit as we do."
If you are a member of this site.
Lastly, JONS and JT will get this, If you pull a U-Turn to catch a couple of railfans

You might be a railfan if:
1. You hear a horn of a train and run outside with your camera not realizing its 15 below outside.
2. Half of your wardrobe is railroad t-shirts and hats.
3. Everytime you get to talk to someone the instant they mention trains you tell them about your adventures, what you saw and how many cars you counted on every train.
