Originally chartered on October 24, 1887, the Waycross Air Line Railroad began operations between Waycross, GA to Sessoms, GA in 1890. In 1901, the railroad had extended as far as Fitzgerald, GA at which time its charter was amended for an extension to Birmingham, AL and it was renamed the Atlantic and Birmingham Railway.
