Wow, amazing how a train going to Waycross managed to find it's way to New Orleans, i'm sure that didn't cost CSX much money :/ Lol

@NahuntaSubFoamer5115 I agree, goes to show you how important the Folkston Funnel is.

any info on the derailment or news station that carried it???

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@acl109 I dont know, I just heard about this from the crew. They said it was a rear ender just about a mile South of Callahan. Mixed freight ran into the rear of an empty coal train. I will try to find any news articles.

@acl109 There was no derailment.

why was there people screaming on the top of there lungs in this vid

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@1998ChevroletS10 Their dog got very close to the train, and even went UNDER the train a few times, almost getting killed by the wheels. I was watching in horror while holding the camera still. Very close call.

[1998ChevroletS10]

@AmtrakSilverStar well thats there problem not yours but if was them next time that dog would not be with me any more

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@1998ChevroletS10 I agree, they should have kept their dog on a leash.

Wow. Well I guess this shows how important the Funnel really is.

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@murjax Yeah, all trains going through the funnel had to take a detour around the mess. This train probably took 3-4 days when it normally takes only one day to complete its journey.
