"Espee," "Railfan," "Foamers," "Icicle Breaker," or "Wigwags"-- do you understand what these words mean? Can you tell the difference between an SD 45T-2 and an SD 40T-2? Have you ever broken the speed limit to "chase" a train? Then chances are, you are the significant other of a Railfan!
We all know that railfans don't just chase, photograph, trace, or model locomotives... No, no, no! Railfanning is a lifestyle! They live, breathe, eat, sleep, talk, dream, worship the rails, the tracks, the engines, the locos, the smell, the sounds, the sights-- everything about TRAINS!
So if you're the significant other of a railfan, or suspect you are, then you know exactly what I'm talking about! Told from my perspective, a railfan's girlfriend, this is an online documentary that explores a truly unique species: the Railfan. Yep, from how their houses look like to what they keep in their fridge, and many more idiosyncracies that only another railfan's significant other would find cute! Laugh, nod your head in agreement, and share with the rest of the significant others out there-- who never knew what they were getting themselves into! If you can't beat them... I guess-- join 'em?
(Special thanks to my "Espeeboy" for being such a good sport and supporting me in this silly endeavor...This has provided me with many hours of procrastination from my dreaded law books!)
