Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

You are seeking a nano cache in a very cool location.
The "Folkston Funnel" is a double track which serves as the main artery for railroad traffic into and out of Florida.

From the viewing platform in Folkston, visitors can see trains passing on their way to and from Jacksonville, Florida in the south, and a split north of town where trains go west to Waycross, Georgia, and north to Savannah.

The platform features lights, ceiling fans, and a scanner to listen in to radio traffic between trains. Adjacent to the platform are picnic tables, a grill, and a new restroom facility for guests.

Cool spot for a cache. I like this type.

Found this one on a cache run today with my mom and little man. Had a great time caching around Folkston!!
