Viewing Album: Folkston Trip (via Amtrak!) April 2025

By:	Jay Epstein
Dates:	4/24/2025 - 4/26/2025
Album Info:	I had been wanting to take a long Amtrak trip for a while so in April 2025 I took the Silver Meteor down to Jacksonville in a roomette. From there I railfanned in the Folkston and Waycross area, including spending one night at the trackside "Peake's Cabin" in Folkston.
