Thanks for the offer but it will not be necessary as I can easily afford a chair & bicycle if I wanted to purchase them. Try a Ferrari & maybe I would consider it. [:)]

There is a good viewing spot of the divisional change point for CSX at Manchester, Georgia. It’s covered, and best of all, the site has a scanner where you can listen to the chatter going on (as well as defect detectors calling out the trains.) There is always something interesting going on there… it’s a junction of the CSX line to Florida, as well as a main line to Alabama.

THE NEWEST RAILFAN PARK…Jefferson City, MO on the Union Pacific
I am suprised nobody mentioned Hill 582. It’s a hill up in Cajon that railfans have fixed up and planted trees and there is a plaque there in memory of a railfan that frequented the spot.
Why not. Most city parks are not profitable for citys like the ones in Fairfield. Just because something doesnt make money doesnt mean it shouldnt be built. Most layouts dont make money but we build them anyway. Watching trains doesnt make money for the railroads but we still do it. I say if there are enough people to support a railfan park let it be built.
If you went to a town and they had a railfan park that was not profitable, would you go to it? I would.

What’s happening at Dolton? I have always had good luck there and no one has ever bothered me. Haven’t been out in 2 years now. Hope to make it again in the summer.

The driving force behind the Folkston platform was a prominent local business man who was involved in the towns politics. He was able to sell it as a draw for tourists. It has brought people to Folkston from as far away as London England. That’s what it takes are local people who will take an interest in the project and push it along.
