Well if this guy was just making fun of the pathetic but somehow lovable stoner who created "Double Rainbow" -- and didn't really mean it, then I feel so ... so ... so used.
Proof if this is true will be if a very bad actress uses Excited Railfan as an audition monologue, as in

jeffrey-wimberly BRAKIE: chatanuga: jeffrey-wimberly: That was good to see with the volume muted. Would've been nice to hear it without him running his mouth all the time. I agree. He was saying "Listen to that bell!" but all I could hear was him yelling. Kevin I could hear the bell and it sounded like any other locomotive bell.. Of course that's called "railfan hearing"..You gain that after 50 years of railfaning-that's a year or two before you become deaf from listening to loud horns.. I wonder what he would sound like if he saw NKP 765? On second thought I don't really wanna know.. He might hit soprano! High C even.

Forget soprano and high C, we may need to make a new octive for this guy.
And don't mention the EBT or 844 to this guy......................
But I don't blame him for getting excited, I get happy seeing the SW1 in Towanda.... about 5-10 minutes from where I live. I get very excited seeing the 2317 or 3254 in Steamtown.

I hate to be the party pooper, but this "excited guy" is poking fun at a few other videos circulating around the internet. His "excited" reactions are a spoof/parody of these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI which was posted in Jan 2010 and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhYXNwvcl6A which was posted back in Feb 2012.
This "excited train guy" was on MSN's home page a few days ago. It's a shame that MSN is a little behind times, because this parody was made a few months ago.
If you're still not convinced, CNN did a story on this parody:

We'll get there sooner or later!
Hilarious! . . . .But great to see!
And I thought I got really excited to see a D&RGW K-28! I was downright muted in my admiration compared to this fellow.
One thing about this guy, no one is going to claim he is not passionate about his trains. I have never seen any kind of verbalization like this over trains in my life. I am glad he was made a doublely happy guy.
Great piece. Cracked me up. Thanks for sharing this.

If I can't fix it, I can fix it so it can't be fixed
I am reminded however that there are some railfans, who shoot video, who just fervently pray that everyone around them just shuts up while they are filming. I have heard some hilarious exchanges caught on tape between the clueless talkers and the shushing videographer.
There is a certain amount of showboating by these "super foamers" that can get very tiresome after a while, even to their fellow foamers.
Well, at least he didn't try to run up to the unit and plant a big kiss on it. Also hope he had extra undies with him.

Actually, this is the one that made Tosh.O on Comedy Central...my bad.

Well, I DO declare..
I guess he was excited.
I get about as excited seeing a new steam loco up and running, BUT i have learned to keep my mouth shut!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
That´s why we are into this hobby - getting as excited as little children at Christmas Day!
I would have like the B12? more than the e-unit.

That made Comedy Central's Tosh.O a few months back. Classic
I've seen some people get excited about things but this takes the cake.
