is there a scanner actually set up there for anyone who goes there to hear the trains coming?

Yes

I'm not familiar with things down in Folkston---is there always a Railwatch every year, and if so, any certain weekend or month? I'd like to go next year, looks fun.

[Caltrain927]

It's always the 1st Saturday in April

"get ready railfans. here we come!"

It's good to hear some railroaders appreciate what they do and be nice to the foamers who also appreciate, this is mainly directed to the Amtrak's radio comment, lol. Looks like you had fun at this Railwatch!

I figured it out after I went to folkstons website. I figured it was just railfanning, but I thought maybe there was more or something.
