foamer noun- a railway fan whose love for railways is obsessive US
- The most widely used term is foamer, which may have been used first by Amtrak employees to refer to rail fans who grew so excited when looking at trains they seemed to be rabid. Another theory holds that this term was adpated form the acronym FOMITE, which stood for “fanatically obnoxious mentally incompetent train enthusiast”. — Randy Kennedy, Subwayland, pp. 18–19, 2004
