I only heard a radio show host say two sentences this morning, but I suspect I know what he was implying. He said he admires train people and wants to be like them.
Assuming that he was talking about people who are into model railroads, I get the appeal. When you put together a model railroad, you're setting all the terms of your ideal city. You get to decide how many trains go through the city, what they transport, what types of trains they are, and how often they run. Furthermore, you get to decide what types of homes and/or businesses they'll pass along the way and how far apart they are from each other. You also get to determine if there will be a lush forest in your landscape or a more modest selection of trees.
There's something gratifying about creating a world that reflects your priorities. After all, that's one of the biggest incentives of blogging to me.
