This cache is part of my 'Trails of the Iron Horse' series, a series of caches that are located at railroad themed locations. I am hoping this cache series will catch on nationwide!

When you find the final cache, you will be at my favorite place to railfan during summer evenings. Folkston has established two trackside park areas dedicated for people to sit back, relax and watch the parade of trains roll through town.

If you post a picture of a train going through town, you will be honored as a GeoRailfan! (Not necessary to log the cache, but a fun reccomendation)
