South Georgia Railroad
In 1902, the South Georgia leased the West Coast Railway of Florida (Greenville-to-Perry, Florida) and changed the combined railroads name to South Georgia and West Coast Railway. Soon afterwards
this name was dropped in a reorganization and the railroad was
renamed the South Georgia Railway. In 1904, the lines northern terminus was moved a few miles north
from Heartpine to Adel. The railroad's general offices were in Quitman. In 1971 the South Georgia merged with the Live Oak, Perry and
Gulf Railroad to form the Live Oak, Perry and South Georgia Railway, running from Adel to Perry. It was owned and operated by Southern Railway.
