What's everyone been up to?

3. Warching train videos on YouTube

They put a camera in the cab and you follow the rails. I've been to Switzerland, Japan, England, and elsewhere. They even have rides through my home town.

Train fans, like myself, are a cult. Unlike religious cults, we don't care if you're not a member.

One aspect of these videos I find odd are the tunnels. They're not lit, so you travel in almost complete darkness. A lot of tunnels are short, so you zip right through, but some can be very long. In one video, the passage took over a half hour. You would think that they would edit that out, but it appears to be bad form among purists.

What they do edit out are long waits at stations or sidings. Apparently the commandment is, if it moves it stays.
