The folkston funnel, in Folkston Georgia, is a good place. Folkston is pretty close to Jax. Also, The Amtrak station in Jax proper is another good one.

Along the Phillips Highway on the east side of the St Johns River, FEC has yards and facilities. Along HWY 17 south from the Naval Air Station through Orange Park down to Green Cove Springs is a heavy traffic CSX main. Amtrak (Autotrain headed to Orlando I think) also runs through. Also in Orange Park right next to the grade crossing where Kingsley Rd crosses there is a small spur containing several private cars.

I noticed bridge crossing the St John’s river, do NS, CSX, FEC all use this bridge?

Thanks
