You live in an old Railroad car (such as a caboose or a passenger car)
You go to the local railyard and ask for a cabride
You actually try to order an SD70MAC, and when asked why, you say "Oh, I just want it in my backyard to simulate a real train and practice my photography skills".[;)]
You go to your local GM dealer and demand an SD90
You go to the GE apliance store and demad a Dash-9.

....You actually want to buy a home next to the tracks!
....You build a really tall treehouse for your kids, but plan to use it as a train watching outpost.
....At every four way street crossing on the way to work, you blast out long-long-short-long grade crossing signals, and buy one of those "train horns" advertised in the J.C. Whitney catalogue to do it.
.....For some odd reason, every town you want to move to is a major rail center.
.....You get a factory job just so you can watch the locomotives switch cars all day.

Anyone for "You Might be a Redneck..."?

By the way, Dougal, I want a white truck with a red stripe around it so it looks like a CB&Q F-unit![(-D]

You plan on making an outdoor climbing apparatus for your daughter in the shape of a GP38-2 out of wood.
Complete with operating headlight, cab doors & simulated controls.

You drive the long way home in hopes of being stopped at a rail crossing!
