Doesn't being labeled a phobia strictly require the fear to be irrational in nature? Being afraid of an approaching train while standing on a train track isn't "train phobia", for example.

Phobia as a suffix has long been a non-sequitur smear. Unless you witness an armed robbery or gang activity, at which point the fear is justifiable.
