My five stages of railfanning: 1) Go on bike rides near railroads, begin to watch trains 2) Bring plane spotting camera on next bike ride, take pictures of trains 3) Quit plane spotting 4) During free time, research local spots to see trains to get unique shots 5) Ride commuter rail or Amtrak to different towns to see different trains. So far I'm having fun and probably won't "quit" anytime soon. I'm also still in college.

You forgot stage 6, getting absolutely hooked on railfanning again and trying to find friends that are also railfans again after being out of the community for years, while other aspects of your life suffer you are just trying to chase that initial high again by going out like every weekend lol In all seriousness this is way too accurate and this is some top tier content, I've been railfanning for over a decade now and your channel is super unique in terms of presentation, I hope for nothing but the best for you moving forward. Your content honestly makes my day sometimes :) Still Merry Christmas and here's to 2024 hopefully being a good year for railfans lol

I only really started in the hobby because of inspiration from many Railfan channels I view, not to mention I was already 19 when I started and I regret not going sooner. At one point early on I was really considering to just give up because nothing was passing by, but I later got over it and continued.(really, I’ve actually cried out of frustration of no trains of any kind passing through) Shortly after continuing I encountered my first special unit. Most of my life I wasn’t even familiar with the whole Railfan thing and naturally got into trains thanks to TTTE, and binge watched several classic videos on YT at the time. As the years went by I kinda lost interest and began focusing on other things, in recent years I would go back to it. I have no care for money and have no plans to monetize in the future, all of my Railfan vids are for plain old fun.

I honestly had no plans to ever monetize but I kind of figured it's a good idea once I reached the threshold, at least just to save up some extra money to help pay for gas and stuff to help get me to different locations and have even more fun. In my opinion, it never hurts to have a hobby that helps pay for itself

I have been casually watching and observing trains since i was a kid but only started filming and photographing trains a few years ago, as trains became duller and duller i began taking more and more pictures instead of just watching as i think it adds to the fun and photography/filmography is something really fun to do on its own. 10 years ago, i really went out for trains because i found interest in it, but as of now, i go mostly because of the interest in photographing them rather than in seeing actual trains... How long until i reach stage IV? I guess when i will run out of shots and ideas hahaha Merry christmas and happy holidays!

I started out sitting by the tracks when I was a kid, then got a camera for Christmas. I started filming in 2012 (at least that's my oldest surviving videos) and gradually progressed. My channel name is just my name. 100 percent agree about the most boring stuff getting lots of views, P42s get lots of views on my shorts while unrebuilt SD40-2s and even HUs are ignored. The only times I quit was when I couldn't physically railfan (injuries, car trouble, etc.). Anyway, great video as always.

I don’t have a clue, but I did enjoy uploading and trainspotting quite a bit so I just continued, and now I’m at a point where I think I’ve done well for myself with this whole thing, and I’m probably gonna continue for a while

Mine started off bike riding. There's a levee with a paved bike path parallel along some double tracks where I live and they move slow through there. Its fun to coast along side the engines if they arent going too fast. There's some houses next to the levee with the tracks and they're practically _under_ the trains when they go by and I've always wanted to ask one of those people what their property value was considering a train could crush them and everything inside if one derailed LoL

Specifally, I started seeing trains since 2016, my first ever train was a union pacific coal with four locomotives, no emd tho. I rarley saw trains before i began to see signals red, yellow, green and black, i never saw a white color tho. My first railfanning trip was at a crossing with four signals, we did not see trains, then when we went down, we saw a SLOOW train pass by. Since then, i have been going out so times i see trains even tho im railfanning, but most trains i see are when im railfanning. Latley, im been getting intrenst in steam more the elertic and diesel locomotives, but i still like diesels and elertics. Now i make models of trains in roblox stuido.

I also got into model trains and then from there it went to… what if I go see this stuff in person, which was hard because I wasn’t old enough to drive, but I eventually went to college which had a rail line that ran along the backside of the college and got myself a scanner that my dad used for police/fire back in the 90’s and was able to listen for when they were coming. I wasn’t going to put my videos up on KZitem, but decided to so that I have a place to put all my videos while saving storage space. And that is pretty much where I sit now.
