[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Kathi Kube Jen et al, I have to agree; I don't know of any teenage female railfans. In fact, unless someone's been holding out on me, all my adult female friends who are railfans—including myself—found their passion for trains after taking a job that had something to do with railroading. But I contend that the exposure to railroading just awakened an interest that already was there. My teen daughters have little interest in trains, but one is interested in photography and the other has been known to stand beside me in a local restaurant's parking lot feeling the whoosh of air as a loaded CPR train heads toward Milwaukee. Maybe this is a latent tendency toward being a railfan later. Maybe not. Either way, teen girls aren't likely to just appear trackside. But if she likes a guy and he introduces her to railfanning, she might end up liking it herself. What about you older guys who are married or dating someone? Does your "significant other" share your passion? Understand it? Or just tolerate it? Kathi [/quote] The first time I took my wife train watching, she stood at the fence as a CN freight roared by at 60+ MPH, not more than 8 feet away fom her. After the train had passed, she turned towards me and had the biggest, silliest looking grin I have ever seen on her face. Now, she complains that we don't go train watching often enough. Guess I kind of created a monster. She is really improving on her railroading knowledge and vocabulary. She no longer refers to gondolas as "half box cars". Admiral
