In Folkston, Georgia, train spotting is serious business. So serious, in fact, that the town erected a pavilion along the tracks, called the Folkston Funnel, so that locals and visitors alike can have a special place to watch the trains. The reason for all the excitement is because Folkston lies between two major rail hubs, Waycross and Jacksonville. Keely’s on the trail of these lumbering locomotives, and stops off at the Folkston Funnel to chat with the experts. Good-natured arguments are all part of the fun here, so whether you want to argue over how giraffes fit onto circus trains or why molten sulfur is transported the way it is, put on your engineer’s cap, don a bandanna, and head on down to Folkston. All aboard!
