Brinson Railroad

Brinson Railroad

The Brinson Railroad was a U.S. railroad, chartered in 1906 and named after and owned by George M. Brinson, a businessman who had earlier built the Stillmore Air Line Railway. The line was originally planned to run from Savannah, GA to Sylvania, GA and had completed from Savannah to Newington, GA by 1909. Around this time the Brinson took over the Savannah Valley Railroad and merged its lines into the Brinson. By 1914, Mr. Brinson had left the company and the railroad was renamed the Savannah and Northwestern Railway.
