Railfan your favorite prototype railroad so to build the model railroad, now only railfan by taking layout pictures because that prototype railroad doesn't exist any more.
You plan to visit the location of your railroad when on your honeymoon...

Or be like me and sit in history class when my teacher asks a random question out of the blue:
"If an electric train is traveling at 95 mph and has a head wind of 95 mph, which way will the smoke blow?"
And in order these things come to mind:
What kind of electric train? GG1? E-33? Or a one of those massive Milwakuee Road units? Acela?
Why are you going 95? Clearly there must be SOME sort of speed restrictions.
Where was the train? Was it like in Alabama or something, considering a 95 mph wind is hurricane force.
And then, finally, i think out loud "Electric trains don't make smoke!!!"
Now im quite famous, for giving everybody the answer.
