Folkston - Railfanning Before The Dawn

those good folks weren't at the Cirlce K to get gas or coffee...they were there because they couldn't sleep with all the train horns blasting the early morning air

Thanks for the information on the cabins. They look great and will remind me of Maurice cabins on the Cape. Great video!

I’m just watching some extra videos Danny. Believe me they are all good. Cool video. I might call one of these and make reservations some day. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️

We love Folkston trains when we have time to ride up there. We have learned so much since we started watching you explain how and why each train operates. Very interesting. I love all of them. You're right about planning your day when and where you're train watching. In Folkston we have been there early morning noon or late evening and always catch two or three trains. Thank you Danny for a good job videoing.

Just before dawn and early morning is one of my favorites too . Few things as thrilling as 8800 hp. Roaring past close up in the dark/first light .

I grew up there. Small little town

I'm definetly going to check out making those cabins a vacation spot!!!

what is the CSX railroad radio channel for Folkston Georgia?

P09

Night is the only time I'd drop from 30FPS to 24FPS. that little bit more light helps. I'd also typically try and grab a prime over a zoom and open it up to 1.8 or 1.4 if I can. the jump to 1 or 1.2 isn't worth it in my book.
sonys A7S and FX line are some insanely sensitive cameras and would be my pick if night work was common.

Well done, Danny..thanks from coastal SC.

I am curious to know how you are able to find out where the trains originated from, destination and manifest contents?

UPS: Priority on Trains Also UPS: We will wait to give people their stuff.

Stopped at Folkston once on our way back North from Florida. We could stay only a couple hours, but it was a fantastic experience. Planning on a longer stay on our next trip.

Now I know virtual railfan real name thanks Danny

Hasn't CSX been "working on raising that [Howard St] clearance right now" for like.....10 years plus? Anyway, great video as always Danny!

I liked your railfan hotspot location Folkston GA!!! Ive been up to The Folkston Funnel before!!!

Great video Danny!

That is me when I'm railfanning on Norfolk southern

danny on e041 it sounds like the 4th engine is running just to let you know

I see A LOT of people at Folkston going around the gates -- one Toyota pickup driver has done so a number of times. I'm waiting to see one of these clowns pasted to the front coupler of a moving train.

But I do love railfanning at night and day

Did anyone notice the DO NOT HUMP csx boxcar on qo31

Folkston Ga - a safe and entertaining location for rail fans. One of my favorite locations was CSX over the Ortega River. The old US 17 alignment is now a short pier and right next to the tracks and bascule bridge, ok for fishing per others. A homeless camp has started under the pier section, sooo.
I like the night video, it works fine. Your videos are great! Keep it up.

Haaa… North Chas SC ,where I’m from you will get plenty of action showing up down at the track late at night….stay on yer toes….

Yes. Check on trains in Florida after Ian hurricane Thanks.

we stayed in the caboose on10/5/22. the noise kept me awake most of the night BUT we loved it

Pretty good? They are among the best I've seen. So informative and just plain fun. My wife and I can't believe you do this just for fun.

I’ve been in the Chessie caboose

I think ur video's r very good. I know u try and tell all u can about what is going on ! I have watched a lot of train videos and you r the best !

superb vidiography mr.harman.

You might think of Folkston you think of Cookie Williams

Tjat guy that drove on the tracks with a train coming, is a knucklehead

Love this! “Get what you can” is a motto I live by. Also agree night ain’t for the best quality outcomes, but the challenge is a fun one.

If the train carrying the armed forces equipment was in Canada it would hold every piece of equipment Canada has.

If you ever make it out west. Flagstaff az is a great hot spot.

Unless you have a flashlight on your camera or phone

I think predawn train watching is very interesting. Then again, any train watching is interesting.

Danny I can't tell you the number of times I have crossed those tracks and through Folkston. GA. on my way from Fla. to WNC since 1977.. I LOVE your videos and small towns you travel to. I am becoming a BIG Railfan myself because of you, your videos and a friend who is a Railfan! Keep up the GREAT Work I will be watching! Thank you Sir!

I injoyed that Danny qld Australia merv take care
