Busy Day At Folkston Georgia, 2019
It was a tragic, but record day in Folkston. An early morning incident caused a backup for CSX but when the line was reopened, the trains were rolling by nonstop. Rare foreign power, long trains and a clogged up mainline.

Folkston Funnel: UP Flag Units and CSX Locos with Manifest
Six locomotives pull a manifest past the Folkston Funnel viewing platform. Locomotives: (I am guessing) UP 5040, SD70M(the canted radiators are throwing me off); UP 8358, SD70ACe; UP 4435, SD70M; CSXT 210, AC4400CW; CSXT 8099, SD40-2; and CSXT 8523, SD50-2S. Look (and listen, LOL) for the molten sulfur tank car. Sorry about the bad lighting; it was late in the day and I should've moved to the opposite platform. This was the last train that I filmed that day. I can post more trains from the trip on request. =)
Also: 60th Video w00t!

Folkston Funnel Teaser
The Folkston Funnel is a double track which serves as the main artery for railroad traffic into and out of Florida. Located in the beautiful town of Folkston Georgia is one of the worlds best spots to train watch. The city of Folkston spent thousand of dollars so tourist can enjoy train watching in style. The platform features lights, ceiling fans, and a scanner to listen in to radio traffic between trains. Adjacent to the platform are picnic tables, a grill, and a new restroom facility for their guests. Be sure to visit them on the web and plain a trip there soon.

⁴ᴷ The Folkston Funnel
On July 16th, 2018 while on my back home from visiting family in Florida I had to make railfan detour to see rail action of The Folkston Funnel. Please excuse the lack of train symbols for most trains as reception isn't the greatest here even the platform radio had trouble picking up most transmissions only a handful of them were clear enough to here the symbols..

1080p HD: Railfanning Folkston, GA - Hilliard, FL 9/23/16: Ft. CSX Q458-23 with crazy Rainbow Lashup
Day two to me and bros southeast GA/Florida Trip (September 23rd, 2016 Happy B-Day Grandma ^_^) covers the primary Nahunta Sub artery between Folkston & Hilliard. Folkston is always the focal point down in these parts, but for higher speeds, just past the State Line at the St. Marys River, Boulougne and Hilliard track speeds are a bit higher for Manifests being 50MPH, Intermodals 70MPH & Amtrak 79MPH. This sums up a typical Friday for the Nahunta Sub between Folkston & Hilliard. Enjoy the intense action CSX has to offer as a Class 1 railroad between this vital artery between Waycross/Savannah & Jacksonville, FL.
