Many dark and insidious matters reside in my mind. Only a few leak into the conscious realm.

A tormented soul, like you.

Soooooo guys and gals, do you have a fancy for your trains? From real life to model trains, they are all so captivating for me. Ever since I was a child I had a huge interest in them, especially steam locomotives.

I do not know why, but they always remind me of a time when things were simpler and everything was more laid back.

So how about you people? Do you like trains and do you frequently visit any museums, railroads, or freight lines? I am a usual visitor at Strasburg Railroad in PA of the U.S. That place used to be the best in the 80's, but it is still a nice, relaxing place to this day.

Real account.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I know my grandfather likes to collect model trains, if that counts.

Dumb people are just blissfully unaware of how very dumb they are.

I'm not a huge fan of trains ever since I spent a night on a train in India. *shudders*

Digging Foxholes by Profession
Accept No Substitutes

I'm a big fan of actual locomotives. There's something about them that I can't even begin to describe, but model trains don't capture it for me.

My obsession is something to do with the heavy machinery and the raw power they can output. I like the old steam trains (but not the stereotypical american ones) and the modern razor-shaped freight haulers, but I absolutely hate the slick transition-era trains.
