    Not exactly a challenge, from the inside. How about Zebra spotting instead? Ok, it's going to be difficult to read the serial number as the train speeds along, but you could always take a picture and scan the barcode later...

    It's quite a challenge ... you can't see any of the numbers from inside, and the trains you pass are going fast enough relative to you that you can't get theirs either!

      A long time ago, I was on a train and there was a pair of anoraks [train spotters] in the carriage. They didn't speak for the first hour or two until we went through a giant junction. Animated, they called out numbers and types for the five minutes passing through the area. They checked each others list and the STFU for the rest of the journey. IIRC, I just drank. Heavily.

        Tell your friend to alert the conductor of a strange unattended package... when the conductor tells your friend it is another passenger, your friend should reply with one of the following remarks... 1. I think your job has started to effect your judgement. 2. So if I poke it then it won't blow up? 3. Why are there other people on my train? 4. Why are there other people on my plane???

        My opinions are right, and yours are wrong! (or at least that is my opinion)

        And your post has effected my reply.
