I haven't really been able to commit to a single road that I like the best, I just love 'em all! <br /> <br />I know whenever I see New York City abbreviated with "NYC" I immediately think of New York Central. I think of B&O when I see/hear BO. I actually have a caboose from a 1960's Japanese HO train set in my collection with just "BO" on the sides with the "&" not there. <br /> <br />Another "you might be a railfan if..." is that when you come back from a vacation that you've taken more pictures trains than anything else. I know I'm guilty of this one! <br /> <br />How about that you will notice trains where no one else will? If I'm watching TV and there's a blurred or hard to see train in the background that's shown for half a second, I'll notice it immediately. (By the way, has anyone noticed in that commercial for Progresive Auto Insurance where the customers are bidding on how much they'll tip so that the waitress will serve them that behind the one guy there's shelves with O gauge Daylight and Texas Special sets on them?).
