Milltown Air Line Railway Engine No. 155 depicted in Lakeland mural. Opened in 1904, the 10-mile Milltown Air Line Railway connected Milltown (now Lakeland) with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad at Naylor. There was also at one time a 2.5 mile branch to the Alapaha River. Around 1912 the line was sold and operated primarily as a logging road. The Official Railway Equipment Register of October, 1917, listed it as having one locomotive and no freight cars. After a brief abandonment in 1928, it reopened as the Lakeland Railroad.
