Is there a documentary on railfans and their culture?

Question

Lately there's been a flood of documentaries on everything from record collectors to Donkey Kong world champions. I'm wondering if a "railfan" documentary exists? I think this would be a great topic for a human interest story. It could chronicle the lives of the die hard rail enthusiasts and the hardcore culture. What do you think?

Answer 1

I've never heard of one, and it's likely I would have if it was done in the past 10 years.  Unless it was done with real flare, it might not be easy to interest anyone enough to make one.  Middle aged guys chasing choo-choos is generally seen as eccentric at best.

There is a huge intrest in the US with people and rail, every year I see elaborite models at the fair, There must be hundreds no thousands of people with hobbies like or similar to it.
