Willacoochee & DuPont Railroad In 1915, when the Henderson Lumber Company acquired the Ocilla, Pinebloom, and Valdosta Railway, it ran from Gladys to Shaw’s Still. In 1918, the Willacoochee and DuPont Railroad purchased the line and reportedly abandoned the tracks between Gladys and Willacoochee the following year (or used them only for logging). It continued to operate the eastern section of track from Willacoochee to Shaws Still, but was not able to extend the line past Shaws Still to DuPont. In 1922, this track too was abandoned. The Georgia Railroad Commission Report of 1920 indicated the W&D's former route as: Willacoochee - 0 miles; Hildaven - 3.00; Leliaton - 6.00; Shaws Still - 12.00. 1921 map (122K)   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage.
