Well it said introduce yourself here so. Nice to meet you (I guess :-).
I'm 54 and have been railfanning (is that a proper term?) for about the last 10 years. As I get older, I like it more and more. I always take extra precautions when train watching (I think getting run over by a train could ruin your day). I've got a few pics and video but I'm going to start doing a lot more of it. When I retire, I want a house next to a busy line so I can sit on my porch, sip iced tea and watch trains.
