I like train travel, and I tend to choose train over other form of transportation when it is feasible. I do agree that train otaku are on another level then I am. Although I will not take offence being called otaku but nobody has called me train otaku, not yet. I do think train otaku will not consider me as train otaku. I may have far less resistance calling myself "geek" because of my background of PhD in physical organic chemistry. I call myself "geek" more freely than many other people but I should understand that calling own "geek" or "nerd" is not something many do.

スーツ交通 seems to be 23 years old. On YouTube video he posted on 2019 he mentioned that he was third year at Yokohama National University and said he was 21 years old at that time. According to his posting スーツ交通 graduated from Iwakura High School transport program on 2016 and he has applied to JR companies but he was not accepted then went on to Yokohama National University. スーツ交通 has established corporation on 2018 and he was supposed to graduate from Yokohama National University on 2020 but looks like he has not graduated. Running a corporation earing 50 million yen annually sure is a full time job and looks like he did not have time to do both. On one of his YouTube video, a viewer commented that his/her 60 years old grand mother likes his YouTube videos and スーツ交通 commented that he tries to make videos that 50 - 60 years old who are not into trains can enjoy and understand.
