I am no expert on train autism (I have uh, Star Trek autism?) but I feel like it’s a super diverse group. From massive model setups to the people in Japan who have amazing train driving simulator setups, to the people who know absolutely everything about the history and operation of the New York subway system, and I feel like I’ve certainly seen timetables be a part of it.

Edit: just writing that made me want to get into trains, it sounds so fun, dammit.

I've started listening to the podcast "Well, there's your problem", which covers engineering disasters. I swear, 2 out of 3 episodes devolve into talking about trains. It's great. The three hosts are all wicked into trains. Even the 9/11 podcast had a bit of a seque into talking about the WTC subway station.
