I noticed that when the first train was coming on your first video, some idiot decided to risk his life and cross the crossing knowing full well what would happen if he fell off that bicycle. He ran the crossing about the 46 second mark in the video about 16 full seconds before the train was at the crossing. People will do stupid things, even if it means risking your life. Great Video!!! I been to Folkston in the early 90's when I was stationed in Jacksonville in the U.S. Navy.

I actually thinnk the Amtrak running with Q127 is the Silver Star because don't forget the Amtrak at the end and he has 2 sleepers.

The s/b Star goes through here in the wee hours of the morning, so it had to be the Meteor.

91 comes through Folkston at 6:30 AM and 97 comes through at around 9 AM, assuming they're running on time. 91 carries 3 sleepers, 97 carries 2.  First train running with Q127 was in fact the Star, and the one later in the clip was the Meteor.

I think that the Amtrak running with Q127 was actually Silver Star #91

Meteor only carries 2 sleepers southbound versus Star's 3.

Whoa, 97 carries 3 sleepers. Not 2
