If someone doesn't follow a stupid rule, that means that can't be a train buff??? That's idiotic.If the stupid rule in question is the "no passing between cars" rule then train buffs, foamers and everyday passengers alike disregard it on a regular basis. One can have no interest in trains whatsoever and break that particular rule. My little summary was based on casual and generic observations between two categories of people (train buffs and foamers) who have a lot in common yet demonstrate sharply different behavior when actually railfanning. It is obviously not scientific. I'm sure there are train buffs who also happen to be murderers, rapists, child molesters, tax cheats, hackers and drug dealers but those crimes ane not related to their hobby. In other words, a train buff tends to behave like an ordinary passenger (including the minor rule-breaking done regularly by ordinary passengers) when riding the rails. A foamer tends to stand out and in extreme cases may even cross the line and engage in something dangerous (see Darius or a certain notorious young SubChatter). |
