I've been to a few special-ed schools throughout my whole life, there are some people that I know of who like trains. Must be a hyper focused interest thing, kinda like how I'm interested more into computers.

The only train I like is the time machine train from Back to the Future III.

No, not all.

Nope. Never found trains that awfully interesting.
(Unless, there's a train level in a video game. Then you have my attention.)

I FUCKING OVE TRAINS!

Who doesn't like trains?


Okay but seriously, so many things about trains can appeal to autistic people: routine, structure, familiarity, reliability, predictability, the daily ritual. The sight and sound of train operation could be stimulating. There's a huge amount of well ordered information related to trains: timetables, railway lines, maps, types of trains, locomotives, stats, configurations, inner workings, history of trains, etc. And model trains are a whole new world in and of itself.

So many things to enjoy about trains for so many reasons.

I mean I like them more than cars, airplanes, bicycles, motorcycles, etc.
