Railscanning?? What's Up With That??

  • Ok, my wife and I accidently got to your site and are really confused. What the hell is railscanning? We thought it could be people listening to rail road engineers talking to each other but no body could have that much time on their hands! And even if you did have that much time on your hands why would you bother listening to some guy board out of his mind driving his train across the plain! Try golfing, it's much more interesting.

    Instead we think we may have gotten the inside angle on a new kind of drug trip that some cool junkie stumbled across. Listening to some frequency that trains give off for prolonged periods renders a person in a crazed state of bliss and euphoria for extended periods of time. If anyone can clear this up for us we would be forever gratefull.

  • The scanners are so you can tell what trains are where for the purpose of finding them, watching them, and shooting them with a 35mm canon. Other hunters use more old fashioned means and simply find the trains by following their tracks.
  • I can smell them to find them.
  • Golf?? what's that all about, oh yeah, that's where people with far too much money, smash a ball around without ever taking a lesson, pay outlandish green fees and join golf clubs for thousands of dollars )if the company doesn't pay for it) then spend the rest of the day stiffing it in the bar and driving home juiced, and after 20 years they still look like they just picked up a club(especially hockey players)and dress in strange outfits, Interesting, I think not ! ! But I still can't figure out listening to choo-choo drivers on a radio either.
  • I sniff the trains out....with my sensel of smell

    1.[D)] Try to learn to spell 2. [:(!]Golf is a good walk, spoiled by having to find a ball in thick grass, mud ,water or worse[:(], that went no where near where you thought it was going to go, with tools ill-suited to the task! 3. If you must persist,take up drinking! 4.Watch the pros play, let them suffer, they are getting paid! You, on the other hand are paying to torture yourself. [D)] 5. If you know the crews you are listening to it can be more fun to listen to friends, rather than strangers.[8D]
  • I smell three SD90s and A GEVO
  • To answer you heartless Question. A Scanner can be used so the Railfan will know what is coming. And golf is for retards,golf sucks. That's why I don't watch that trash.
  • Allan, give it a rest man. I bet you 100 bucks your not athletic enough to play golf. IM really tired of you slamming everything you dont like!
