You know you're a railfan when...

New member here, who found an ancient printout of this topic from a long gone board, dating back to when he was running on AOL 2.5 on windows 3.1.... <br /> <br />These are ALL True, and I'm still married despite them: <br /> <br />1) You convince your bride to be that Lancaster PA is the perfect place to Honeymoon. You site the shopping, antique shops, entertainment, a side trip to Hershey Park, and the possibility of a romantic dinner on the Strasburg Railroad. <br /> <br />2) Upon arriving and checking into your hotel (Not the red caboose, that comes when you have children...) you manage to trick her into outlet shopping via the TCA Museum. <br /> <br />3) You're romantic dinner on the train is accompanied by a short trip to the Railroad Museum of PA, and several rides on the pump car at the Strasburg Railroad yard. <br /> <br />4) You talk her into taking the extra tours, like the J Tower, and she actually enjoys them (perhaps she's becoming a railfan???) <br /> <br />5) On the trip to Hershey Park you take the mono-rail ride a dozen times to see the railroad tracks alongside the chocolate factory. <br /> <br />6) Inbetween riding the mono-rail you take thier park train a complimentary dozen times. <br /> <br />7) On the last day of your honeymoon, instead of sleeping in, and enjoying more intimate moments in your lovely honeymoon suite, you check out early to go to the Strasburg Yard to watch the morning hostler. You then sit in your rented SUV, explaining to your still sleepy wife the entire history of #90, and how it's really a steam engine. <br /> <br />8) When she's ok with all of this, and actually encorages shopping at the Strasburg Train Shop, you realize you married her because she is the greatest woman ever. <br /> <br />
