Visit To Folkston, March 2021
Folkston, Georgia has to be one of the best locations for railfans and always has action that never disappoints. This trip was extremely rewarding from beginning to end. I spent 2 days there gathering exciting footage. Everything from foreign power to special equipment moves and as a bonus, I caught 2 of CSX's special locomotives, the 911 Spirit of our First Responders and 3194 Spirit of our Law Enforcement. The action does not stop there! CSXT 8906, SD70ace Tier 4 makes an appearance pulling a manifest freight southbound from Waycross. To end the video, I found myself catching one of the rarest catches ever, A CSX work train not only having a BNSF engine trailing, but its also pulling an ethanol consist back north.

After meeting in New Zealand back in 2017, Beth and Jake have travelled the world, working online and creating memories.

Jake has been travelling since 2016 and during this time has perfected his photography and videography skills. He is adventurous and has a passion for the outdoors.
Having lived in various countries around the world, we decided that instead of settling down, we'd build a tiny home inside a van.

US 301 from Georgia into Florida: Folkston, Callahan, Baldwin and Interstate 10, in 4K
Here's a drive that allows you to skip part of Interstate 95 as you're headed southbound into Florida. Instead, follow US 301 across the Florida Georgia line, through the towns of Folkston, Callahan, and Baldwin. We'll end up in Baldwin, after passing underneath Interstate 10, which you can take east into Jacksonville, or west towards the Florida panhandle.
I made this trip on Labor Day weekend, 2021.

Southeast Georgia (FOLKSTON TO DARIEN)
In his first major domestic trip in nearly a decade, Brian travels to a forgotten corner of the American South. While parts of the region have long been a hotspot for springbreakers and ecotourists, the north of Florida and southeast of Georgia, have remained largely untouched by mass tourism. Brian discovers a region that has remained true to its Southern heritage, while at the same time breaking many of the region's stereotypes.
Brian's journey concludes in southeastern Georgia. After sampling some local cooking, Brian visits the Golden Isles, an archipelago rich in natural and cultural history, that has long been a playground for wealthy Southerners. But he quickly discovers that the islands aren't so welcoming to budget sight seers.
He leaves the Golden Isles, for a more traditional part of the state, where he tours a Southern plantation home, and visits a roadside ruin with a fascinating history, before ending his journey at the historic Fort King George.

2015 10 03d Folkston,GA CSX Business Cars Northbound
Looking for a different angle, I thought it would be nice to get the longer approach. Thinking it was another CSX freight, I was thrilled upon realizing it was the CSX passenger train, and it flew by, easily the fastest train of the 12 trains I saw at Folkston that day.

GA Road Trip - Stuckie the Mummified Dog, Enigma, Pearson, Nahunta, Folkston | 156 Counties | 4K
#georgia #stuckie #roadtrip
Hey Guys! Another road trip through my home state of Georgia!
I start out the video driving through rush-hour traffic through the heart of downtown Atlanta. Then I show you the next day, starting just east of Tifton, in the small town of Enigma.
Next is the city of Pearson, the county seat of Atkinson County, which is the 155th county I've visited in Georgia.
After that is a visit to Southern Forest World, where I see Stuckie, the mummified dog! Stuckie was trapped in the cavity of a pine tree and discovered years later when the tree was logged.
Next is the small city of Nahunta, the county seat of Brantley County, my 156th county! Almost to 159 counties!
Finally, I visit Folkston, very near the Florida state line, where the big draw is watching trains go by!
Hey guys, I'm Emily. I have a passion for storytelling, video production and direction. Thanks so much for watching!
Railfanning Folkston, GA - Amtrak and CSX (8.6.22)
Having fun at my first visit to the Folkston Funnel with these 6 videos. The first 3 videos were taken from Folkston Railroad Transportation Museum on the west side of the tracks; the second 2 videos were taken from the Folkston Railfan Platform on the east side of the tracks; and the last video was back on the west side, but this time a short jaunt to the Folkston Funnel Crew Quarters located just north of the State Route 23/121 overpass where the tracks fork into two different directions. Did some railfanning there with some family friends. The trains I caught were:
12:08a Amtrak Northbound #91 Silver Star
6:43a CSX Southbound auto carrier consist
6:56a CSX Southbound container consist (the second loco was positioned within the consist away from the first loco)
9:22a Amtrak Southbound #92 Silver Star
10:13a BNSF-Canadian Pacific-Union Pacific Northbound tank car consist
11:30a CSX Northbound auto carrier consist
