A little something to lighten a gloomy Thursday...well, at least here in NC.  

You're a railfan if...

You've said talked such gibberish over the phone or with another railfan that 
if the FBI was listening, you might be arrested with the suspicion of being a 
spy...since they couldn't decipher what "2 BNSF SD70s & HDLX SD40-2 with string 
of CDRX empties" meant...

You HAVE had the police ask you what you were doing.

You take weird routes through towns to try and find good photography spots.

You know all the good photography spots.

If you have a choice of a freeway with one hour travel time to a remote 
destination or a 2 lane highway that takes 2 hours but parallels a railway 
track the entire distance...you take the 2 lane.

You've not been bothered at all to sit at a railway crossing and watch a train 
go sloooowly by...

Your idea of a good day was seeing 6 trains, all with unusual equipment.

You know when a train has unusual equipment..

You've made other drivers think you've gone mental by veering off the road, 
slamming on your brakes and running wildly towards a railway crossing when a 
locomotive was coming.

And finally...you're a railfan if you've ever driven into a part of town to 
photograph a train that no sane person would venture into without a battalion 
of M1 Abrams...

Cheers!
