claw bar posted:uh...…what is a "foamer" and will I recognize one when I see it ??
A foamer is usually used for really rabid train fans, and as another poster said, has as its likely source the idea they might foam at the mouth over their passion...
As far as seeing one, conventional wisdom is if you see someone who goes around with a baseball hat and/or vest with pins representing all railroads there ever were, butts heads like a mountain goat with a fellow member of its species over what the greatest steam engine ever was, seemingly lacking in most social graces and hygiene, and has clothing with enough food drippings encasing it that could feed a flock of seagulls for a week, it likely is ferrous equis foameritis...*lol*
