A refrain I would say which I hear from my family members and friends when I log onto IRFCA or IRI,"He is so wierd, all the time sitting with trains and MSTS!". :D Today I found an article which explained what actually railfanning is and true feelings of a railfan and to extent we railfans dare to take up a train journey. I prefer taking 12625 from TVC to NDLS than an aeroplane as the latter denies me of nature,the track sounds and the loco madly trying to maintains its schedule,the overtakes,the busy wayside stations and what not. I showed them this article. click here But still they were only partly convinced. At this juncture, I would like to say that only a railfan can understand another railfan. Imagine a 3 phasor fan getting disappointed on his train getting a P4 and a crawler getting his favourite P7. Its something...
