Only in the eyes of other rail fans, occasionally.

Non Rail Fan: Hey James, what did you do yesterday? :wink:

James: I hung out at Delray Junction for ten hours photographing trains. :D

Non Rail Fan: You did what? Why? :shock: [thinking, is this guy for real???? :roll: ]

Welcome to the site and the land of Grand Rapids :)
I live in GR myself, as well as a small handful of members here. There's an online scanner that I have up at the house here, have a listen sometime while at home: http://www.railroadfan.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7457
