Savannah, Augusta & Northern Railway The 39-mile line from Statesboro to Stevens Crossing north of Swainsboro was constructed by the Savannah, Augusta, and Northern Railway. First to be completed was the section from Statesboro to Garfield, in 1908. Grading was complete from Garfield to Louisville in 1909 when the company entered receivership. The railroad was sold in 1910. It was around this time that the final section of tracks was laid from Garfield to Stevens Crossing. In 1911, another local railroad, the Savannah and Statesboro Railway, began operating the line. In 1916, the SA&N was taken over by George M. Brinson’s Midland Railway. 1910 map (32K)   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
