The 2011 Railroad Days Festival in Callahan has come and gone but the excitement of the two day event still lingers. We were blessed by great weather and the biggest 2 day turn out ever. The West Nassau Historical Society really did a great job putting it on. Thanks as well to the Town of Callahan officials, Nassau County Commissioners and the surrounding community for their support. Nothing helps me wind down then railfannning from the US 301 viaduct in Callahan. CSX has cleared a large swathe of underbrush and trees from the tracks leading up to the junction of their two main lines in Florida. Speculation has it that CSX is planning to double track the junction or upgrade the sharp curve that branches off the main line toward Baldwin. Since CSX has sold their track inside the metro Orlando area for a commuter line, they will be diverting a lot of their Southbound freight trains off the main line to Jax onto the line to Baldwin, Ocala toward Tampa.
