Shatzy,
your actually right on with the 'railroad' thing. It stands for 'Railroad timetable.' What it is is the pamphlet that has all the days and times in which the train departs and arrives and shit. People collect them cause..er..I dunno, their wads? I've seen them on like ebay and stuff..Like one from the early 1900's..
and totally off subject RR could also stand for
'Rest&Relaxation' yep.. [img]wink.gif[/img]

collect those things...

They collect those for the same reason people collect old magazines or bottles, or coins, etc.

Namely: No reason at all.
Just like with the mountains.
"Why climb it?" "Because it is there".

I don't get it either.
