Sandersville & Tennille Railroad The S&T was chartered in 1875 with the authority to build a railroad from Sandersville to Tennille. The 3.5-mile road opened in October of 1876. In 1894-95, a competing line, the Sandersville Railroad, was constructed between Tennille and Sandersville. The S&T was leased to the Augusta Southern Railroad in 1893 and bought by Augusta Southern in 1894.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
