Please enlighten the non-train buff (me) -
Hoss and everyone else, I am not trying to embarrass anyone or say that it is wrong to use the reference "train buff" like we have the long accepted phrase of "fire buff." However I would like to point out that the more universally accepted term at least for the past 25 years or so is "railfan."

Next up, are some pieces of equipment that used to be at the former New York Central museum in Elkhart, IN.
The first is I think an E9.
Next is an old steam powered wreck crane.

Very interesting looking pics of rail equipment. Anybody know what it actually does when it's out working on the rails?
Train Photography - yelrowekim - 01-31-2009
I think it is used to work on the Catenary wires... the lights on the top sides all point upward and there is a work platform on the top.
Train Photography - Guest - 02-03-2009
It is not a track maintenance vehicle. As it says on the side, its a catenary maintenance vehicle. Meaning its used to maintain the overhead electrical wires. There is a black platform on top that raises so maintenance personnel can work on the wires.

I found these railcars sitting in Lakeville, NY back in 2004 when the WNY Volunteer FF's Convention was being held there. I'm not sure if they were there for the convention for the training seminars or not, or if it was just a coincidence, but anyways here they are. The first couple are very interesting as they are railcars but also pertain to Firefighting as well. BTW, Lakeville, NY is the one of the main depots for the Lakeville,Livoina,Avon RR, which is a shortline RR that runs from Rochester South through Lakeville, and covers a few other areas in Livingston, Wyoming and Monroe Counties.
