a message sent to me by my bro. though it is in hindi, i'll translate it in english for better understanding.
dear brother, the best part of my recent bangalore trip was the respect i got from the enthusiastic bunch of railfans. i had never thought that i would do crazy things like-
walking 2 km on rail tracks to watch a steep rail gradient near bypl
wave...
more... hands to ask lift from a diesel loco
lie down near tracks and wait for a train to come to capture it
run to catch the best view of shatabdi travelling at mps...
earlier i considered all the above mentioned activities as brainless and idiotic but i rather feel nice after doing these myself. i really enjoyed a ton on that railfanning day out. am i also turning into a railfan? or have i already become one?
