OMG im such a nerd......

while all the cool kids are watching weird al and bootleg anime, Im watching trains on youtube....

....Don't lie to me. Half you nerds like trains too. Admit it. Admit it!

anyways...

One

Kingston Rhode Island amtrak depot. Acela runs through here topping out at 150 mph(now that the catenary upgrades are done) and it runs at full speed right next to the platform. There is a automated announcer warning to stay behind the yellow line, but it is a bit too slow... "Train approaching, remain behi.... Fwoossh!!!!!"

Some japanese emu's cruising around...errr somewhere. WARNING: this one is set to extremely cheesy music, best to set it to mute while watching

San Fransisco Bay Area  subway(BART)  leaving a station. Unremarkable, except the sound of the trains electric motors excelerating makes me think this system is the source of the el rail sound effects in Simcity

OK! OK! *Sob* I'll talk! I'll talk! I regularly visit RR-related sites too, since I am also a big railfan. (I have an HO scale layout at home and miss it a lot while I'm at school.)

Great choice of youtube clips, by the way.

Im really guilty of spending hours looking at photos of buses. I love them for some reason.

I myself have a soft spot for crash test videos.  Some of them are almost funny, like this one with a Smart (ForTwo I think, though I'm unfamiliar with the Smart lineup) crashing into a last-gen Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Yes... anything having to do with cars or trains is for me. I always get so giddy about this stuff!

Thanks for the links to the videos!
