What do you think of railroad enthusiasts?

My personal experience has been that people who are interested in trains and railroads are considered weirdos. In fact, in England the word 'trainspotter' came to mean 'someone who has too much time on their hands and pursues weird useless hobbies' I just wonder if that's how people feel about us - railroad lovers.
