You know you are a rail addict when . . . .

You wire your fog lights to alternately flash when you blow your horn.

You are approaching a grade crossing hoping to see a train way off in the
distance so you can stop and watch it.

You try to make lane changes as if they were #100 switches.

You buy a railroad airhorn (legally) and mount it on your car, and hook it
up, and use it.

You wear railroad pajamas to bed, and you are an adult.

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles - away..

If you live in the city, you put debris screens over your windshield. (You
might have them even if you are not a railfan.)

You have your van painted to match your favorite roads engines.

When you have to fly, you pretend that you are actually going by rail.

You imagine that the banking on a highway is actually superelevation, and
your car is the train.

please, add your own.

You always use the 24-hour clock even in daily conversation.

Your credit card and cash card PIN numbers are made up of your favourite
train numbers.

    When your GF is in Colorado you visit often and spend most of
your time on the trains.
    When you replace the "Microsoft sound" on computer bootup with
train whistles.
    When you get custom wheels for your car and tghey look like
Scullin drivers.

You open the kitchen cupboard looking for a water glass and find brass
passenger cars.

There are brass passenger cars on top of the toilet bowl tank.

An no, it's not me, but a friend (who needs serious help and a real life).

Scenic RR), Sault Ste. Marie ON (Algoma Central Tour of the Line), and
any other bit of track we happen to pass along the way.

You wake up at 2:30 am and finally realise it is because you didn't
hear the freight whistle across town at 2:25. You can't get back to
sleep for another ten minutes when it finally comes through 15 minutes
late.

Hey Dubya!
Unity means let's try to meet each other halfway

When you buy 14 double tube florescent light fixtures all to be used in one
room.

When you go to the train store to just to get a set of trucks and couplers
for the car you are building and you somehow spend $300.

When your wife shows up in the train room with nothing on but high heels and
make up and you hand her a controller.
