Example Sentences
- "The ultimate in railfan's seats is on the Electroliners that ran between Milwaukee and Chicago from 1941 to 1963 ... up front, in each streamlined nose of the train, is a double seat facing forward. I had a ride on it as a kid, rode it again when the Electroliners were running in Philadelphia, and the view is just as good at the Illinois Railway Museum, where one runs on special occasions."

A sticker was placed on the outside of the motorman's cab reading, "Don't stand in front of the white line while cab is in use." A piece of nylon is looped through the seat stantion ^([sic]) so that the front 2-seat bench may not be used."
- "I was taking pictures near the shops on a public street and I waved when a train went by. Then I felt stupid because I was waving to a computer driven train. Although they DO have a RAILFAN SEAT with a windshield wiper you can operate yourself!!!!"
