A question about train watchers?
I was in a town the other day and strolling past a railroad crossing. I thought that something weird or bad was going to happen because all of these guys were standing around with walkie talkies and cameras. I asked one guy if something had happened and he said no they were "railroad-fans". he said they did this every weekend. The guyz seemed freindly enough, but wow were they incredibly weird. Sort of like my dad's ham radio buddies except with really bad hygiene.
Are train watchers mostly introverted middle aged guys? Some ladies strolled by, looked puzzled and then were giggling to themselves as they walked off-----obviously amused by these men. Are these guys married and have kids and everything? Is this some sort of club or gang or something for men who dont deal with women ?
Thats a very unfortunate stereo-type - unfortunate because its true for some railfans (the bad hygiene and the women thing). I don't much appreciate it at all.
To address the first thing, they weren't "walkie-takies", rather scanners (receive only radio) set to railroad frequencies. It gives you a heads-up for when the train is coming. Second, its also perfectly legal and normal to photograph trains. Plenty of people photograph aircraft, ships, birds, classic cars - an interest (specifically a photographic one) in trains is no different.
At any rate, I'm in the 18-25 demographic, have good hygiene, a very normal interest in women (I like every hot one I see), and am pretty much prefectly normal.
I don't railfan every weekend. Maybe just a couple times a month. I take my Nikon SLR with my 70-300mm Zoom telephoto lens, along with my 28-80mm Fisheye Zoom lens, and expose some Kodak Ektachrome 200 to some trains.
Some railroad's have company calendars and accept photo submissions. There are lots of train magazine and even more books that need pictures. Pictures that railfans in the 1800's-to present are considered priceless especially for history books and publications.
I plan to marry a woman, have kids, and continue photographing trains. There's nothing odd about it.
