It is not uncommon to be driving through Georgia and have to be stopped to let a train barrel through. Trains have made up a large portion of our state’s history, but also still play a role in Georgia’s commerce today. Sometimes just sitting back and watching the trains roll through is exactly what you need to spend an enjoyable day with your family outdoors. This fascinating train park in Georgia will allow you to do just that. Grab the whole family for a free and exciting adventure you do not want to miss.

Instead of being upset with the amount of heavy rail traffic that comes through the town of Folkston, Georgia, the residents created a coveted train park and viewing destination in the south.
