You might be a model railroader if... <br />...you spend countless hours looking at the websites of abandoned railroads. <br /> <br />...when you looked at Union Pacific’s online store for the first time, your first reaction was “I never knew they could put the UP shield on so much stuff.” <br /> <br />...your second reaction was “How many things can I get from here without my family noticing?” <br /> <br />...three weeks later, several boxes arrive from Omaha. <br /> <br />...you flunked out of high school French, Latin, and Spanish, but can still discuss trains in five different languages. <br /> <br />...a customer filled out a comment card at your favorite train store and said “Your employees are most knowledgeable.” Little did the customer know that you don’t work there. <br /> <br />...you named your first cat Chessie. Then you got a second cat, and as a way of avoiding confusion, you named it CSX <br /> <br />...you’ve ever felt dumb because you called an S-6 an S-4. <br /> <br />...it annoys you that the spell check on your computer doesn’t recognize lashup, intermodal, superheater, catenary, or railfan, but does recognize airfreight. <br /> <br />...you have ever thought that Yellowstone National Park has a fleet of 2-8-8-4 locomotives. <br /> <br />...you decked the teenager that called trains stupid and outdated <br /> <br />And remember: if you like this thread, you'll probably like <i>The mother of all "you might be a railfan if's"</i> on the TRAINS forum. <br /> <br />Hope you had some laughs, <br />Daniel
