Indeed I'm right, for the PO Stoker's name is mentioned in The Times, below...
'...According to Carley, a passion for train systems is a "leitmotif" of Asperger's. Not only are they a good source of data to memorize and routes to understand, but they are also outside the world of subtle, social decision-making that he says people with AS find most frustrating.
"There are a lot of train-loving people among our folk," says Carley. "Trains move forward. And then there are the tracks! You just sit there. You don't have to decide which way to go - and that's an incredible relief to all of us." '

Sorry to disappoint you but the PO Stoker is not called Carley, he has a whole other name!
Also I think we should learn a new word every day so my contribution is Ferroequinologists - train spotters!
