www.break.com/index/omg-trains-2354254Okay. I think trains are pretty cool. But is this guy over the top? I love war birds and can only relate on that level, although I don't think I would react to seeing a Douglas AC-47 Spooky airborne as vocal or verbose as this man, but God bless him for his passion! ;D

I'd love to see Spooky do it's thing just one more time. If I wasn't on the river, I used to sit on a roof top at night, just waiting for Spooky to come over and open up.

We get 'em all the time here itsandbits during Monsoon Season. And I always think of this feller when I see one! Jake, what do you think of the Spectre? I've seen Spooky only on the ground at Falcon Field in South AZ.

Haven't seen Spectre in action, but I'd love to. Used to love watching the helo gun ships make firing runs too. Loved to hear the mini guns open up. Saved our bacon many times.

I play with model trains some and that is some cool trains. The guy is over the top I think but a lot are. I'm more into the steam engines but the older ones are cool. Playing a lot more with rocks now.

Foamers? That was a new word for me, but it's appropriate! He certainly sounded like he was foaming at the mouth - lol! I watched both of these to the end. Why? Well, on the first one, I kept watching, thinking, is this all there is? Maybe the train's gonna hit a car, or have some kind of accident... nope. On the second one, I thought maybe he was gonna be hit by lightning... nope. Or maybe a bear was gonna eat him... nope.
I don't know when the last time was I got even a tenth as excited as these guys, about anything!!! More power to them, whatever floats their boats. Jean

The first time I heard of a "foamer" I was loading my Propane truck off of a rail terminal and there was a guy on a bridge with a camera waiting for BNSF Dash 8s to go by. The Terminal Operator looked at him and murmured something about foamers. I actually thought he made that term up until I saw this video!

Jean, you've never seen a South Dakota guy when he finds a really killer Fairburn agate. You think that guy was excited ?
