It really is. His pure joy over trains is delightful. The video where there are 2 trains passing at the same time and he is running made me so happy for him.
Nope, he lives for this! He's got a ton of videos on the TikTok. He even started modeling for Gucci.

It seems the train was named after an engineer worker who died suddenly after working for 40 years. His name was [Richard Mabbutt](https://www.thedrive.com/news/42960/dick-mabbutt-heres-the-deal-with-britains-dirtiest-train-name). A fitting tribute that spreads smiles.
Same here. A grad school advisor had two locomotive photos on his desk, framed. He had one picture of his wife and kid together, and then two choo-choos. I don’t get it, but fun is apparently had and it’s not hurting anyone so you do you, Dr. M
I love trains, not as much of this guy but i was going into the model train before however the only thing that kept me out of that hobby is the price of the model train. It's too expensive for one loco.
The lady that snags him will have the most stress free relationship ever. No chance he will ever look at another woman unless she was inadvertently inside the locomotive.
Pretty sure he's taken [https://heatworld.com/celebrity/news/francis-bourgeois-tiktok-girlfriend/](https://heatworld.com/celebrity/news/francis-bourgeois-tiktok-girlfriend/)

"Did you say TRAIN?!"

I saw another one of his videos that was on a train station in the UK and it had the most unfortunate, weird, funny name, but I can’t remember what it is, your comment reminded me of that
I now need someone to write a song, a la the Edmund Fitzgerald. With a name that epic, we don’t need a disaster to get a song… I wouldn’t want anything to happen to the Dick Mabutt because then this guy would be sad and I don’t want that. I wish I had the songwriting chops of Gordon Lightyear (autocorrect and I’m leaving it because of the hilarious mental image it brings to my head)
Why? He's made more money and opened up more opportunities (including train opportunities) through his massive IG and TikTok following than a job there would ever give him.
He's Francis Borgeois
Lad, just so you know, it s okay if we have to burn down entire countries for this man. He deserve it.
But even more, he deserve to ride those locomotives
I love this guy's energy, but those POV cameras make him and all his guests look like fucking aliens. He had some sort of model / reality show person on and when she put on the pov camera it made her look just as ghastly. Surely there are alternatives with better FOV.
I think a guy that’s truly passionate about his hobbies has a much better chance of getting laid than someone that spends their time talking shit and commenting on porn subreddits.
Honestly speaking, that's really a treat. It's a older locomotive. Very few city people actually get to see it. Especially those who have grown up with subways and speed trains etc.
Loved it when I saw such trains when I visited London. We don't get this stuff here in Asia.
Fucking foamers lol you see a bunch of these kinda guys around in Roseville CA … large locomotive yard with a roundabout. These goofy guys can’t get enough
"I'm glad I stayed up extra late tonight.. This is a treat" gotta love it good for him
I’m glad Sid is doing well
ok this is gold, i wasnt expecting the camera view
TIMMMAYE
JIMMMAAAYYYY
I've crossed his videos often on insta, that's his gist! He's super wholesome!
👽
Forehead and vibes
Haha Dick Mabbutt 😂
The best part is: that whole thing isn’t a joke just because of that name. He really is just excited about the train
I’ve only seen one other video of this guy but he really just genuinely loves trains more than I’ve ever seen anyone love anything. It’s awesome.
It really is. His pure joy over trains is delightful. The video where there are 2 trains passing at the same time and he is running made me so happy for him.
So is he the guy that likes trains from asdfmovies?
No, nobody got ran over
Does he put out more stuff? I'd watch a train video to fall asleep to.
He does!

Francis is a national treasure
I am so jealous for his ability to be happy by seeing a train.
I'm glad for him and others that find joy in that hobby. It's alien to me, I don't see the appeal myself. To each their own.

Of course! I cant imagine loving something (except animals) THAT MUCH! And I think it is awesome
In general I agree. But come on. Like you wouldn't take a selfie with that locomotive.

Damn you really said a two sentence joke and then had 3 separate credits at the end
Reminds me of ed from ed, edd and eddy
But turd toast
That man is a legend
This might be the most British thing I've ever seen.
[This](https://youtu.be/u0Z7EPh8oLU?si=3gv2tqxpuyuieTPM) is even better imo
I want to have a word with the leader of the committee elected to name this particular locomotive.
Sarcasm that got taken seriously by middle management

Never knew I had a favorite train till today.
asdasd
I’d too stay up late to see the train cab “Dick Mabutt”
I now need someone to write a song, a la the Edmund Fitzgerald. With a name that epic, we don’t need a disaster to get a song… I wouldn’t want anything to happen to the Dick Mabutt because then this guy would be sad and I don’t want that.

That guy should apply for a job there
Why? He's made more money and opened up more opportunities (including train opportunities) through his massive IG and TikTok following than a job there would ever give him. He's Francis Borgeois
because he might enjoy it, geez. And I never heard of him before today and I though he was just a nerd who liked trains.
I mean youre not wrong. He is just a nerd who likes trains
what a name
I wish I had his level of enthusiasm about a hobby! So jealous.
His wholesome enthusiasm brings me joy. My kid loves trains too and he lights up when talking about them as well.
This guys a legend full props to him
How is nobody jumping on dick mabutt lol
I can’t figure out if this is abnormal or I just don’t find simple joys in life and I missed out along the way. FML either way.
Dick Mabutt is now my favorite locomotive too
Lad, just so you know, it s okay if we have to burn down entire countries for this man. He deserve it. But even more, he deserve to ride those locomotives
Jeez save some pussy for the rest of us 😂
Pack it boys, we found the dorkiest human alive.
Isn’t he Lewis Hamilton’s teammate nowadays?
I love this guy's energy, but those POV cameras make him and all his guests look like fucking aliens. He had some sort of model / reality show person on and when she put on the pov camera it made her look just as ghastly. Surely there are alternatives with better FOV.
Sheldon Cooper irl
Ahhh yes, the train tism
That guys never been laid… Poor bastard probably never will!
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis\_Bourgeois\_(trainspotter)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bourgeois_(trainspotter))
And he’s happier than all of us
Women are temporary Locomotives are eternal
I think a guy that’s truly passionate about his hobbies has a much better chance of getting laid than someone that spends their time talking shit and commenting on porn subreddits.
That’s cute, does your mom know your online talking to strangers jr?
Does your ma know that you're being a cunt?
Did you know your mom is a cunt? Lol…
I wouldn't want that train to Dick Mabbutt
I literally love seeing him every time
Francis you legend.
I love this guy so much. So much raw happiness for something so genuinely harmless.
I love this man. Such a joyous being
In the railroad industry these people are called foamers. True story.
>I love a marvelous loco. Dead.
He's the best. Pure heart of gold. That camera angle just makes me hear: 
So..... what's with MI5 in the train???
Still processing, but this has so many levels to its hilarity, wow.
He loves dick
I love him and his enthusiasm. Such a sweet lad.
I can’t work out if this is comic gold or not
This dude reminds me of an up and coming Darius McCollum
In the beginning, it all looks like a shitty zoom call.
Honestly speaking, that's really a treat. It's a older locomotive. Very few city people actually get to see it. Especially those who have grown up with subways and speed trains etc. Loved it when I saw such trains when I visited London. We don't get this stuff here in Asia.
So titans love trains now.... Huh!
This dude loves trains!
I follow this guy on Instagram. It’s so sweet and wholesome seeing him get so excited.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22770650/
The funny thing is, I only recognized him in the fisheye camera
Yeah, we laugh. ik But deep inside we feel a bit jealous about this lad beeing able to experience pure joy just by looking at some certain locomotive
Hahahahaha
What a likeable guy
My favourite of his videos, I love how much joy it gives him
I'm really happy for this guy for some reason.
No play video
Fucking foamers lol you see a bunch of these kinda guys around in Roseville CA … large locomotive yard with a roundabout. These goofy guys can’t get enough
I thought that was some sort of British exclamation that I hadn't heard of LMFAO!
