Interesting, I've often thought about an Amtrak trip. We can pick one up in Denmark, SC which is only an hour away.Amtrak runs from your area to the Savannah area. A train ticket, a car rental, and a couple of nights in beautiful Waycross Ga could get you that boat ride Pappy mentioned. I have taken the boat tour also. It’s a good trip. I suggest the cooler months if you are considering it.
Looking at options to Waycross, Savannah might be the best option, they will bring a rental car to you. Jesup has a station but you'd probably have to work out something with Enterprise. They might would deliver you a car. It's only 38 miles from Waycross.
Like Redbow's wife, I wouldn't want to take a train ride now, even if they are operating. I know my wife wouldn't. Maybe about February would be nice.
Someone also mentioned that Rental places in Jacksonville, Florida would deliver you a rental car to the station. Waycross is an hour and a half from Jacksonville. Folkston is only 45 minutes to the train station. The station is north of Jax and on US1 to Folkston. The swamp park there is nice. They have an old homestead.
