Cait Sith Posted January 2, 2011 Share #26 Posted January 2, 2011 This is hilarious.If someone says "R160 > R42" or any other crappy train they're considered a foamer, yet when someone says "R42 > R160" everyone praises them. And thats 2/3rds of the reason why I'm not too interested in railfanning anymore...too much stupid fights and shit over car types...at least when it comes to busfanning, everyone appreciates whats running.....

R42 M Train Posted January 2, 2011 Share #27 Posted January 2, 2011 This is hilarious. If someone says "R160 > R42" or any other crappy train they're considered a foamer, yet when someone says "R42 > R160" everyone praises them. And a question to everyone who prefers the trains that are like 40 years old compared to the new ones, answer these questions: Do you call people who like email foamers? Do you call people who like cell phones instead of payphones foamers? Do you call people who like 40 inch HD TVs instead of 10 inch black and white TVs foamers? Do you call people who like new cars foamers? The answer to the above are all no. The above show technology advancing and people adjusting to it. And if I were to add "Do you call people who like the new technologically advanced trains better than the old disgusting trains foamers?" you would see how it would fall into place there. They are not foamers unless you go nuts everytime you see the train. If you go crazy when you see a R160 or R42 or anything your a foamer. ftrain goes nut when he gets an R160 especially on the which makes him a foamer. If I went nuts over any train, that would make me a foamer. (which I'm not) I see what you mean. Its just a train. I got other hobbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I say. Everyone can have their preference. Who cares what they like and don't like? It's when it causes issues like this that it becomes an issue.

Gorgor Posted January 2, 2011 Share #33 Posted January 2, 2011 To hell and back in a hand basket... Only because everyone's criticizing the OP for saying how R160s are better (which they are) than these 40+ year old trains that riders have to suffer from daily.

Pretty much, its the one thing I hate about railfanners these days, one can hate on anything thats old and everyone would hound and gang up on one another, same goes for if one likes anything thats new....I dont see why it has to be that way, its really immature....

Gorgor Posted January 2, 2011 Share #41 Posted January 2, 2011 I worry about people who have nothing better to do than take pictures in the subway all day. The subway should just be used to get you to where you need to go, but these grown up men think that it's cool to be like "OMG I SEE AN R46 ON THE LINE!!1!!1!!" and take out a camera and start frantically shooting pictures. And some of these grown up men who stand at the front of a train with a video camera recording. I haven't looked out the front window, or even thought of doing so, since I was like 5 years old. And now there's people who snap pictures of buses everywhere they are. What's next, cab fanning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do chicks get turned on by a guy taking tons of pictures of trains? What's your pick up line? "You turn me on more than an R142A train signed in as a on the line." Or what about "You smell as new as an R160 but make me foam as much as an R32." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just made the generalization that all transit photographers are frickin' idiots. I don't get what's wrong with taking photos. Yeah, my first reply may have been harsh, but you have to look at things from the other side and see how you just came off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my first reply may have been harsh, but you have to look at things from the other side and see how you just came off. Ones who spend their whole days doing it need to really find something else. If I saw someone on the train taking a picture every minute I would think they were a tourist, which I can understand. But if it's clear that they're not one I just think that they're some creep/nerd. If you actually have a destination that you're going to and want to take a few pictures here and there that's okay but really? Read a book, grab a newspaper, or just sit like a regular person.
