Georgia Midland Railroad Georgia Midland Railroad was established in March, 2004 to operate four former Ogeechee Railway lines in middle and eastern Georgia: (1) the 15-mile line between Roberta and Fort Valley, (once Southern Railway), (2) the 13-mile line between Fort Valley and Perry (once Central of Georgia), (3) the 29-mile line between Dover and Metter (once Central of Georgia), and (4) the 21-mile line between Ardmore and Sylvania (once Central of Georgia). Ogeechee Railway had leased these four lines from the Georgia Department of Transportation, along with the 42-mile line between Midville and Vidalia. The Midville-Vidalia line became operated by Heart of Georgia Railroad.  Georgia Midland Railroad was owned by Atlantic Western Transportation of Americus, Georgia, until early 2010 when AWT sold it to Georgia Southern Railway.
