I was just joking with a friend that I have no idea how he took so long to be diagnosed with autism when he has a playlist dedicated to songs about trains; he made this playlist after randomly having 3 songs about trains come on in a row when he put his music on shuffle, and decided to start collecting them in a playlist. There aren’t too many on there at the moment, and he’d like to collect more, if anyone has any suggestions.
I will share the resulting playlist on here afterwards as either an edit to this post, or a comment reply. If you want to be pinged about this, let me know in your comment, and I’ll make sure you receive a link to the playlist.
Bonus question: if you’re autistic, what are your opinions on trains? I’m personally ambivalent about trains, but they also feel like they’re my culture, because of how many of my fellow autistic nerds like trains.

Am undiagnosed but definitely autistic. My opinion on trains is they used to scare the shit out of me when I was a child. Coal trains are all over the place where I live, and I was right up next to them while they were making terrifying loud noises. I think that ruined any interest I might have had from a distance. Now as an adult, I am very interested in the engineering and workings of trains, but not much more than the engineering and workings of all other complex engineered systems. But I’m more interested in buildings and architecture than mechanical engineering.
