Greene County Railroad In 1907, the Bostwick Railroad constructed a rail line from Bostwick, a small town in northern Morgan County, eastward to Apalachee, a community on the Central of Georgia's Athens-Macon line. Another line from Monroe to Bostwick was built in 1911 by the Greene County Railroad. The following year the Greene County Railroad purchased the Bostwick Railroad, which had entered receivership, and operated the 19 miles of consolidated track under its own name. The railroad's name is odd because none of its tracks ever entered Greene County, which lies a few miles east of Apalachee. Perhaps it was the owners' intention to build such an extension, and the railroad was named with that in mind. A possibly relevant fact is the name of the railroad's president, Forest Greene. The line was abandoned in 1942.
