Midville, Swainsboro & Red Bluff Railroad The Midville, Swainsboro & Red Bluff Railroad, chartered in 1888 by one account, opened a line from Midville, on the Central of Georgia, to Swainsboro sometime before 1890. The line never reached Red Bluff, a place in Montgomery County near the Oconee River (now part of Treutlen County). Maps from the period indicate the line variously as the M&S RR, the S RR, or the G RR. It became the Atlantic & Gulf Short Line sometime around 1905. It was briefly leased to the Augusta and Florida Railway before the Georgia and Florida Railroad bought the Augusta and Florida in 1906. It is now owned by the Georgia Department of Transportation and operated by the Ogeechee Railway. 1892 map (20K) 1893 map (44K) 1897 map (72K)   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage.
