Gear up

The starter kit serious railfans wish they'd bought day one. Each link earns us a small Amazon Associates referral — we only list gear we'd actually carry.

Earpiece for handheld scanner

Scanner audio is unlistenable next to a passing freight without an earpiece. Standard 3.5mm right-angle plug fits the Uniden + Baofeng. Adds zero bulk to your kit. ($10-$15)

Wide-brim sun hat

Florida + Texas + Arizona + Southern California railfanning is unforgiving at noon. UPF 50 wide-brim with a chin strap so it doesn't blow off in the train slipstream. ($15-$30)
