I saw this on an Indiana railfan forum and thought I'd give it a try here.




You know you're a railfan when....you look at your watch, see 6:11 PM and immediately think of N&W 611. XD

You know you're a railfan that whenever you go over a crossing you have to look both ways to see if a train is comming.

You know you a railfan, when you are know to friends as The Train Man.

You also know you are one, when you feel the necessary need to correct people when they call the train engineer the "Conductor".

Forgot one: You know you are a railfan when, you correct the mistakes in a movie scene involving a train, to something more accurate.

You might be a railfan if you stub your toe running out your house to try and get a heritage unit on camera(I missed it this time, But I have a range of departure times for the train it will be on based on a week observation of it)

You know you are a Railfan when you buy a scanner just for the Railroad channels

You know you are a Railfan when You get a kick out of Regan Smith's part time sponsor (CSX Safety)

You know you are a Railfan when your model railroad club pauses a business meeting to see if it was a heritage unit going by

This may sound a bit weird, but you know you're a railfan when you wish the place you worked at was directly supplied by the railroad. I work at a farm market and I keep imagining railroad tracks hooking up with our receiving area!
