Hi everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself.
My name is Thom. I live in Chicago now, but have previously lived in Japan and the Netherlands. I'd say my love for trains comes from being a commuter in those countries. Now that I live in the states, I grown more and more interested in Amtrak and the many American urban transit systems as well. I have been fortunate enough to ride the Southwest Chief, Empire Builder, Lake Shore Limited, NER, and Downeaster, as well as many of the Midwestern trains.
You can follow along on my train trips via my YouTube channel: Trains Are Awesome (I picked the name when I was 15 and it just kind of stuck).

Looking forward to learning a lot of new things and hearing your stories on this forum! Thanks for having me.
