Being obsessed with railways and trains is not a modern hobby and dates back to 1804 when
Richard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive, which hauled a load of ten tons of iron, 70
men and five wagons along a nine·mile stretch of track in two hours. As the number of trains
grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow. Is this any stranger than
people who love cars? 4 So, what do you need to be a train·spotter? Well, it's a wonderfully
inexpensive pastime - all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the
train numbers. Other optional equipment includes hot tea in a thermos flask, a camera and
some sandwiches for those long afternoons spent on train platforms when you don't want to
risk the delights of railway station food. The modern train·spotter may also carry binoculars
and a video camera, but for the purists these are unnecessary.
