Sylvania Central Railway The Sylvania Central joined with the Central of Georgia at Rocky Ford (above). Incorporated in 1903 as successor to the Sylvania Railroad, the Sylvania Central was controlled by the Central of Georgia through stock ownership. From 1906 to 1915 the line was leased to the Sylvania and Girard Railroad Company. After the S&G was dissolved on December 1, 1915, the Sylvania Central once again operated the line. Between 1935 and 1944 the line was leased to the Sylvania Railway Company. It was abandoned by the Central of Georgia on March 27, 1954.
