I guess we all are or we would not be involved with this list.   Some  
approach the subject differently than others.

I have to admit that a certain person who wanted to tell me how to  
distinguish between a New York R1, R6 and R9 subway cars by counting  
rivets (when looking at the number was easy), drove me to wait until  
he was in the men's room and then I escaped out of the building.    
Some railfans are, in my mind, totally strange.   Then there are  
those who find me equally off the wall.   Perhaps the job is that we  
are not sharing the same space.   It would be awfully crowded.

I still have fun twirling a controller and winding up a hand brake on  
a 1902 open car.   The wind blowing my neck tie over my shoulder  
feels good.  Does that make me a railfan?   I guess.

But if you look at the East Penn Traction Club web site, you will  
also see a list of all the modern light rail and subway lines that I  
put together.   I like the new stuff too.
