My parents were overprotective, and wouldn't let me go out on my own. My dad took me places on the train. We didn't call it "railfanning", we just called it "going for train rides". It came to an abrupt halt after the Williamsburg Bridge wreck since my mom got paranoid, but we still took the long way to get to/from places afterwards. But even those ended when my dad left at age 9. I didn't get to ride on my own until I was about 12-13, and I didn't finish the system until I was 15 (my last segment was 95th-59th on the R, which I rode during the Ultimate Ride). |
