If it just doesn't fit anywhere else...You know you're a railfan when...
1. You shop for a house by the tracks instead of away from them!
2. When you blow your horn two longs, a short, and a long through every intersection
3. You wonder why automobiles don't come equipped with couplers.
4. When you wire up the fog lamps to flash alternately when you blow the horn.
5. When being served dinner, you say, "Easy, easy, that'll do!" as you've gotten enough.
6. When riding with someone who's backing into a parking space, you say, "two cars, one car, that'll do."
7. While driving your car, you put your arm on the window sill and wave your hand and blow your horn to all kids standing on the street.
8. Your wife opens her wallet to show the relatives photos of the children while you open your wallet to show them your latest rail photos from last weeks fan trip.
9. You install a pedal operated bell in your car and ring it while driving across railroad crossings.
10. You open your refrigerator door only to find it full of film for the next fan trip.
11. You're in your car and you come up to a railroad crossing. The crossing lights are not flashing and no trains are coming, but you slow to a crawl and look up the track both ways in hope of seeing a train.
12. You tell your wife you are going to stay home from work because your sick, however, you go to your favorite train watching spot to take a few photos. (Frank??)
13. You look down a side street while traveling at 60 mph and you suddenly shout," that's the 1151/1155/663/667/670/673/676 down there!", and you can't believe the others in the car didn't recognize it by the color of the locomotive.
14. Your relatives only think of you when they see a train.
15. When you are out by the tracks with another railfan people ask, "is the train coming?"
16. The train crews know you by first name. (This one's definitely me! :) )
17. At your house by the tracks you get some of the crews trained to blow the crossing alert to let you know they are going by, even though there is no crossing there.
18. When the lights are activated at the railroad crossing you race to be first in line, so you get an unobstructed view, then at double track crossings wait a little while after they go up in hopes that another train is coming the other way.
19. You return from a day of trainfanning and in the process of rattling off everything you did that day to your wife, you realize she doesn't care!
20. You come back from a long distance railfan adventure and the very next day go out and shoot one of your local lines. (Frank, again???)
21. You are at a grade crossing and you jump out of your car because a train is coming so you can get a shot.
22. You know the location of just about every crossing along your local railroad line and you have photos of the train approaching about 95% of them. :)
23. You make an unofficial web site just to share your photos and info to everyone else about your local railroad line. :)
