Best times for Folkston Funnel?
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 5:09 PM
Hi all. I'l be in the Folkston,Ga area in mid November and I plan on spending a day at the funnel. I have the choice of a Friday or a Saturday. Which would be more productive, and is there a particular time of day that yields the most trains? Thanks.

I've been to the Funnel for from 24 to 72 hours straight for the past four years during February from Thursday to Saturday evening. Everyday seems to average from 60 to 65 trains, including Amtrak. I've found the best times of the day for trains between 7-10 in the morning and from 5-10 in the evening.
