I'm just sharing with those who care to listen to go about their business, and deal with......

Peter: jamie: youre pretty much right. not all are as creepy as they appear in some of these sorts of photos, but theyre definitely desolate and full of tons of nothingness. when i drove from {nyc}......

Peter: the whole {trainspotting}/{railfan} phenomenon fascinates me... we have it here in {nyc}, too, but on a much smaller scale... i bet most people wouldnt even know what you were talking about.
but, categorizing all the trains......
