Rocket News 24 has posted an article on 36 (yes, 36) varieties of "train nerds" (people who love trains).
I was surprised to read about the different train otaku sub-cultures the article came up with.
The article begins with:
You may already be aware that there is a subculture of train fanatics in Japan known as densha otaku, or train nerds. But did you know that there are loads of sub-subcultures within the densha otakus? From those obsessed with train noises to experts in train lunch boxes, we’ve got them all covered for you.The article has a cool photograph of a model train layout that includes Tokyo Tower.
Are you a "train nerd" and, if so, what category(ies) do you fit in with?
