Railfan
A railfan is someone who has a strong interest in trains and railroads. They enjoy observing, photographing, and sometimes collecting items related to trains. Railfans often study rail history, model railroading, and follow train routes and schedules. This hobby allows enthusiasts to appreciate the engineering, design, and operation of trains while exploring railway infrastructure andæ—…streets. Railfanning can be done independently or with groups, and often involves visiting railway stations, yards, and scenic routes to experience the world of trains more closely.
