Eastern Railroad Discussion > A Day in Folkston (Monday, 03-Feb-2025)Date: 02/03/25 17:37 A Day in Folkston (Monday, 03-Feb-2025) Author: johnusnsd A day at Folkston.
Worked virtually from my vehicle today (Monday, 03-Feb-2025) from sunrise to sunset in Folkston, as I have wanted to see what a “Day at Folkston” was like and hopefully catch a heritage unit. Unfortunately, I did not catch anything special (heritage wise) however there was a midday CSX 3-car special (geometry set) that was heading from JAX to Waycross (had a couple of yellow vested workers sitting at the picture window on the rear - which is where I would be sitting as well, if I had to chance to ride in that car). Other than that – nothing spectacular - - moved around a couple of times during the day and did catch a decent amount of traffic (though there were some lulls during the day). And almost everything went up to Waycross – very little traffic went NB passed the split (and only maybe 1 SB – maybe 2 – from the NB, everything else from Waycross). Snapped wide telephoto along with a zoom shot for each catch. Sunrise to Sunset – 17 movements – 8 SB and 9 NB (technically 8 – since 8357 moved twice) 1. CSX 293 SB 729 2. CSX 556 NB 740 3.
