A sacrilegious dumbass who simps over trains, more often than not, over a specific railroad or locomotive. A foamer is often ridiculously stupid and is really hard to argue with because they are so naive with the science and art behind railroading and only care about the trains they set eyes on.
Rail Enthusiast: "Damn that foamer foaming hard for some normal NS SD70ACe with the number 1111."
Another Rail Enthusiast: "Don't worry, I see foamers flipping out over an awful looking Caltrain f40ph with a shitty horn, and thats a normal for me."
(n). A stereotypical fan who loves to make bias and make fake facts of said hobby. Generally, this term is used by anyone who’s overly obsessed with commonly seen trains. This term is also generally accepted in the bus and aviation community.
Oh my god, that kid really said that bus has a Cummins, but actually has a Detroit Diesel. That kid is a foamer
An adjective used to describe certain rail enthusiasts that think every old EMU / DMU / Diesel Locomotive / Electric Locomotive are better then any and ever new train that is built They also climax at the any sort of thrash or horn they get.
You can spot a foamer by what they were or what they carry
they usually have an iPad and a tripod or some shitty camera and are aged between 16 - 150 years old
Person 1: The Class 319 is a good train and the Class 700 is a craptrain Person 2: God you are such a foamer, the Class 319s are awful.
