BNSF 2901
As a railroader, it's funny to look at the expressions on other railroader's faces when they see "another foamer."

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.
