As a railroader, it's funny to look at the expressions on other railroader's faces when they see "another foamer."

Ron Moraca General Matt,l I know what a "foamer" or phoamer is, a railroad photog. Where did the expression come from? 11/9/2007 1:16:44 AM
Mr Hobo General Ron, its foamer. Wherever you got "phoamer" "I have no clue but don't ever use it again. And you don't know what a foamer is because it is not a railroad photographer. A foamer got its name from railroad employees who would see railfans and they said that they foamed at the mouth when they saw trains like a rabid animal. It was a tease on railfans. You really are a dumbass. 8/9/2015 9:11:16 AM
