Eastern Railroad Discussion > Rare grain train through FolkstonDate: 02/09/18 16:40 Rare grain train through Folkston Author: RFandPFan Grain trains are infrequent through Folkston, especially this one. V241 is an empty grain train from Bahia, FL (Lake City area). Normally this train goes to Sullivan, IN but this particular one will terminate in Nashville, TN. Seen yesterday with 184 empties.

If you think about this train in "real world" terms, the volume is amazing. 184 cars at lets say an average of 110 tons of grain/car equals over 20,000 tons (about 40.5 million pounds of grain). That'll feed a lot of chickens - and it is just one train to one producer in part of one state.
