Ocilla & Irwinville Railroad


The O&I built its 10-mile line from Ocilla to Irwinville in 1900. The railroad had one locomotive, one passenger car, and 46 freight cars. It was purchased by the Brunswick and Birmingham in March, 1903.

In 1907, the Fitzgerald, Ocilla, and Broxton Railroad was formed to take over part of the former Ocilla and Valdosta Railroad. Sometime afterwards, the O&I was leased to the FO&B.

The Ocilla-Irwinville line was abandoned in 1915-16.
