train spotter
Railway hobby observer
A train spotter is someone who watches trains as a hobby, typically recording locomotive numbers and details at stations or trackside.
The pursuit is stereotyped as obsessive and nerdy, so train spotter extends to anyone with intense enthusiasm for minutiae others find tedious: He's a real train spotter when it comes to vintage synthesizers.
