Ogeechee Railway The Ogeechee Railway was a Sylvania-based short line railroad that operated former Central of Georgia track from Metter to Statesboro to Dover (29 miles) beginning in 1989, former Savannah and Atlanta and Central of Georgia track from Ardmore to Sylvania (21 miles) beginning in 1989, former Southern Railway and Central of Georgia track from Roberta to Fort Valley beginning in 1991, former Georgia & Florida track from Midville to Oak Park (near Vidalia), and former Southern Railway track from Hawkinsville to Cochran (later abandoned). The Ogeechee's operation of these lines ended in early 2004, when they were transferred to the new Georgia Midland Railroad and the Heart of Georgia Railroad.
