Greenville & Newnan Railway Courthouse in Greenville The Greenville Railway Company, chartered May 20, 1905, was organized to build a line north from Greenville to Newnan. Three months later it was sold to the Central of Georgia which completed it to Raymond (23 miles), on the Central's Griffin-Chattanooga line, and opened it for traffic in mid-1906. The new line was an extension of the Central's Columbus-Greenville branch, a narrow-gauge route constructed by the Columbus & Rome Railway in 1885. As part of the project, the Central converted the entire line to standard gauge.   1910 map (64K)   RailGa.com.
