I perhaps should have gone into more depth on my thoughts. My thinking
is that with trains as a catalyst for forming the group, the
demographics may have been different. I can't enumerate the factors that
lead me to this thought because it is sort of a gut feeling thought,
which seems to be somewhat supported by real life examples (but the
correlation may be totally coincidental, and I also don't know enough
about the other LUGs and LTCs to know if the correlation is even real).
