I have a question that I'm not sure where to ask. I'm also sure this has been asked before but I wouldn't know where to look for the answer, so I'll ask it here...
Why is it that anyone who likes trains is automatically branded as being weird and obsessed. Can't a person (man or woman) just like trains and not be constitued as being strange? When exactly did this type of "designation" start being applied to railbuffs?
I mean people like all kinds of things. Some people like flying model airplanes or some are hot air ballon enthusiasts, others like 4-wheeling in there atv's, etc, etc. But these people aren't labeled as strange. Ask anyone what they like doing or if they have a hobby or something like that, and people will tell you lots of different things, even if they just like reading a good book, it's still something. So why is it that trains are different?
