Railfanning at Folkston, GA (8.6.22)

On vacation road trip with my wife and I made a point to go see Folkston for the first time.   Wonderful small Georgia town that is set up for railfanning.  A couple of viewing areas and railroad themed lodging areas to boot (I stayed in one, but not the one that's a converted B&O Caboose , set up for a single family stay).

I found out that the "Folkston Funnel" is where all the CSX Jacksonville traffic heading north/south goes through before splitting up into different directions.  As such, railfans can see an average of 60 trains per day.

Also ran into some a family of one of my wife's colleagues,  who interestingly enough, were also in town for lodging and railfanning, but weren't aware of each other doing the same thing. 😱

It was also the first time I can ever recall seeing in person locomotive power from Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, and BNSF. Here are some videos that I took last Saturday.

And here are some photos:
