NOT ALL SHORT LINES ARE SHORT

摘要

When railroad historians hear the name "Georgia & Florida Railway," they may be reminded of the small railroad company that served eastern and southeastern Georgia, with short mileage in Florida, from 1906 until Southern Railway absorbed it in the 1960s. Today's Georgia & Florida serves some of the same areas as the original but has no connection with the predecessor road. The Georgia & Florida (GFRR) is a short line road that is part of the OmniTRAX group. Three lines emanate from Albany,Ga.-one runs south to Thomasville, another to Moultrie and on to Adel, and one to Sylvester. The line from Adel runs south through Quitman, down to Greenville, Fla., and further south to Perry and Foley. The GFRR also interchanges with CSX and Norfolk Southern.
