ferroequinologist (fr ferro "iron" + equinus"horse"). One who studies the iron horse or railroad industry: Railfan. You can find reference to this word in Webster's Third New International Dictionary. If you want to sound smart you could say that one who FEARS trains is a ferroequinophobe.

You're unlikely to find grandiloquent words like "ferroequinologist" in railway-enthusiasts' literature though! They are just railway [~road] enthusiasts. (Any more than bell-ringers call themselves "campanologists".)
