Railfanning is like fishing. You go out to odd places at all times of the day, wait for hours and never really know what you're going to catch. It's a hobby that can be spent with friends or in solitude, enjoying the weather or your surroundings. Sometimes you're skunked, sometimes you come back with your limit, and both have "the one that got away" stories. The big difference is that it's usually easier to explain fishing to your family and friends. |
