FOLKSTON, Ga. — When it comes to watching trains, Folkston is a classic. The South Georgia city has long been a favorite for railfans, and it remains so in the COVID-19 era.
The art of railfanning has evolved over the years, and it is readily apparent in a place like Folkston. Drones have joined the scanner as a necessary tool for many railfans, but they are unnecessary for the average train-watcher.
