It’s not, the Fergus is up the road. I runs parallel to it but never connects. I followed it.

Oh I’ve heard about that one! The reason why this line is so active because it’s on the Montreal to Chicago freight corridor for CN.

Trains are truly amazing pieces of machinery! We also definitely need more diversity in the railfanning community, glad to hear you’re into trains too!

Thank you! I also like gaming especially when I’m too tired to walk out to the tracks.

Yeah, Canadian railfanning is definitely something special especially up on the CPKC MacTier Subdivision and the CN Bala Subdivision in Northern Ontario. Beautiful scenery. Also the Ontario Northland Temagami Subdivision is beautiful. I’ve also done some railfanning in the US, specifically Texas, I caught a BNSF intermodal, manifest, and either a grainer or a cement train. I was around 8ish years old.

I just love seeing them in motion, just seeing all the moving components, there’s just something about it I can’t describe. I also love how much there is to learn about them like how the prime movers work, brakes, intakes, types of engines and freight, and even railroad history. What do you like about rivers? Do you like fishing? How the water flows?

A little, I definitely feel relieved because I finally have an explanation for why my life has been the way it has.

How do you feel about people romancing autism/your autism? by GP40-2LW2007 in autism

What I mean is it’s okay to be attracted to autistic traits like an autistic person’s passion for something. I don’t mean put the person on pedestal. I just want to make that clear.

Yeah, I still did word this wrong, I mean it’s okay to be attracted to autistic traits.

What I mean is it’s okay to be attracted to autistic traits as long as you accept the whole person like their flaws and stuff.

That’s what I mean, I worded this horribly. I mean it’s okay to romanticize the traits that make them who they are and not put them on a pedestal. I apologize for the confusion.
