@Austin_Dern One of my low-key lifetime regrets is not growing up in a much better nation to be a railfan in. I... I am the kind of person who might have LIKED actual trainspotting.

@zebratron2084 I was well-fitted, growing up in New Jersey, where the actual rail was okay, access to the NYC subways was present, and of course there was Roadside America (bowing, somber).

Then moved to Singapore for years where the subways were great and ever-expanding. You know what it's like to ride a subway on its first *day*?

One of my Internet Doppelgangers (a rare human mutual on birdsite) went into trains instead of furry.

@001zlnv @zebratron2084 Really is. There's something about the feel of the train going over what of the Meadowlands swamps still survives.

@Austin_Dern @zebratron2084
Yep that runs right nextdoor to where I work now. Really wish there was a stop there so I could take it to work.
