ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 23
The best fit is locomotive.
As an adjective (from dictionary.com):
of or relating to locomotives.
Where as a noun:
a self-propelled, vehicular engine, powered by steam, a diesel, or electricity, for pulling or, sometimes, pushing a train or individual railroad cars.
'Locomotive' can have a broader meaning relating to other forms of transport though so it may not always be specific enough.

In the UK at least, a person who is fascinated by railways is called a Gricer. So you could ask for a gricer room.
However, the word isn't particularly common elsewhere, so you may not be understood.
