In 1906, the Central of Georgia created the Wadley Southern Railway by merging the Wadley & Mount Vernon Railroad and the Stillmore Air Line Railway. The new Wadley Southern operated a 53-mile line from Wadley to Collins (the former Stillmore Air Line) and a 37-mile line from Wadley to Rockledge (the former W&MV).
