He buys movies and if we dare go on a trip with him, watch out b/c we are stopping at every train place from here to there! It was cool as a kid, since he could take us on a train (not for a ride, though his kids who were 10+ years older than us had been able to go with him when they were younger, before the laws changed).
A subscriber to Model Railroader perhaps? I am one of the few female "rail buffs" out there. I haven't actively gone "rail fanning" in over 15 years but I still like trains. I'll have to find the pics of me on the locomotives. I might even have one of me on a Burlington Northern. I know I have one of me on a ConRail.
