SynopsisOrganized in 1833 by Savannah businessmen, the Central of Georgia Railway was chartered by the Georgia Legislature as the Central Rail Road & Canal Company. The line, connecting Savannah to the interior of the state, boosted the coastal city's seaport, which had lost business to Charleston because of the South Carolina Rail Road's inland reach. In 1843, the Central was extended from Savannah to the outskirts of Macon, and after nearly 120 years of successful operation, the Central of Georgia Railway was purchased by Southern Railway. By 1982, it became merely an accounting entry in the books of Norfolk Southern, a major transportation company.

    It didnt apply much to an area of south Georgia I had hoped. A little too much Nancy Hanks and very little about other CofGA. passenger trains operating in GA.

  • Great reference book for the railroad enthusiast

    History of Central of Georgia Railway book has a lot of facts on how and when the rails were laid. I’m trying to get history of area where I have an old Family property and the importance of what that railroad meant to the area.
