Trains in Town / by Dave Hileman

An interesting aspect of walking around the town of Fernandina Beach on an island off Jacksonville, FL, is that the train here goes right through town and you can see them very close as they go quite slow. I know many towns have trains in the middle but this is on an island and is right in the midst of all the fine shops and restaurants. Just seems neat. The old station is now a very nice visitor’s center with a small parklike oasis right along the tracks.
