I was thinking of the model train nerds but I can see your point.

I wonder if there are differences between model train nerds, transit twitter types, toritetsu, etc.?

I'm no toritetsu (撮り鉄), but I am starting to dig certain views of trains here in Japan. There's a scene that I gravitate towards, and I think it's the medium or long shot. I like a good leading line, and the distance helps sometimes. Anywho, here's another train pic for ya.

In Japan, train photographers are called toritetsu (撮り鉄), which combines the word for "take a picture" (撮り) and "railway" (鉄). It is a specific subculture under the broader umbrella of railway enthusiasts, known as densha otaku (電車オタク). I’m none of these, but I fancy a train photo here and there.

Japanese Train Photographers are Menacing Society
Rail buffs are generally considered a quirk of society; a group of people engaging in a harmless hobby. But train photographers in Japan — known as toritetsu — are gaining a different kind of reputation entirely. Recent reports have revealed a criminal ring operating within a community of toritetsu in Japan. Despite the country’s low crime rate, a section of railfans are engaged in theft, fraud, and even violence. A month ago at the Osaka-Kansai Expo, six train photographers were arrested for shoplifting 111 items valued at roughly 410,000 yen ($2,800) from shops inside the world fair.

ICYMI: Rude tourists are treated as a blight on Japan. It’s hard to argue against that. However, inbound travelers aren’t uniquely obnoxious. Another group is giving them a run for their money: rail enthusiasts (撮り鉄; toritetsu).
