Your favorite place to rail fan...

Folkston, Ga. This location is known as the Folkston Funnel. Just about every train going into or coming out of Florida along the east coast goes through there. It's a small town and is friendly to rail fanners. They even built a viewing platform with a roof and fans for us to watch from. A lot of the trains have to stop here and wait for higher priority consists to run through. Usually the engineer or conductor will run to a nearby fast food burger joint to grab a bite and sometimes they will come over to the platform to talk with us rail fanners.

No Budliner. All I've ever seen down here where I live was the older type F-40 units pulling the double deck passenger cars on it's run from Dallas to Houston and back to Dallas again.

The old WP mainline, downtown Sacramento--the local freight turn, usually pulled by a pair of Geeps (ex-SP or Rio Grande) happens on Wednesday mornings, including paper service to the Sacramento Bee (who pu***he cars into position with a dinky little critter) and a freight interchange with the Sacramento Southern, accomplished via a piece of panel track dropped at a tangent to the UP mainline at the eastern end of the I Street Bridge.

Shawmut, Arizona.

A wicked S curve up a grade on the Old SP Sunset route. Killer place to watch 16,000 horsepower pound.

"Hey Budliner". How's it going tonight ?.

I thought I was about the only Amtrak fan on the forum... I model it, but it doesn't run around this area anymore. Oh well. Thanks for the memories...

Somerville and Hearne Texas - especially Hearne. On a busy day there's a train through about every ten minutes...
