train spotting

Train spotting is the hobby of observing and recording details about trains and their movements, often at specific locations near railway lines. Enthusiasts note information such as train types, liveries, numbers, and schedules to track patterns, vintage models, or rare locomotives. It's a way for enthusiasts to connect with railway history, technology, and operations, often involving photography and collecting memorabilia. While it may seem like simply watching trains, it is a detailed and organized activity that fosters appreciation for rail transport and engineering.
