Atlanta and Florida Railway

Atlanta and Florida Railway

In July 1886, the Atlanta and Florida Railway was chartered as the Atlanta and Hawkinsville Railroad to connect Atlanta and Hawkinsville. The Atlanta and Florida "Railroad" name was instituted in 1887 and the railroad began operation in November, 1888, running 105 miles from Atlanta, GA to Fort Valley, GA. The company was reorganized as the Atlanta and Florida "Railway" in 1893, and the property was sold to the Southern Railway in 1895.
