Any Tildesian railfans?

After the Reddit exodus, I was really glad this community was so open and welcoming, and it warms my heart to have something akin to the original forum days of Web 1. Some of my favourite subs were rail related - London Underground, Trains, Transit Diagrams - so I figured I’d ask: Are there any other railfans among the Tildes?
I personally love all kinds of trains, but gravitate most to inner-city rapid transit. Think your Subways, Metros, Ls, the MRTs of the world. I also do a lot of train spotting, looking for interesting rolling stock and logging their NVR numbers.
What about you? Are you a fellow trainthusiast or did you never pay mind to rail traffic?

What are some good YouTube channels about rapid transit?
I'm mostly interested in metro/subways, but also over the ground systems and rapid transit in general. Mostly the vehicles themselves, the rails, and the related technologies. I mean, I do enjoy...
I'm mostly interested in metro/subways, but also over the ground systems and rapid transit in general.
Mostly the vehicles themselves, the rails, and the related technologies. I mean, I do enjoy the city planning bits, but some channels focus too much on the design and evolution of the lines and I don't like that, looking at a map is not really enticing to me. A healthy mix would be nice, some engineering deep dives mixed with history, urban planning, and a lot of train porn! (Not rule 34 lol).
Thanks!
