Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad

Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad

Chartered in 1883, the Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad was founded to build a line from a connection with the Central of Georgia Railroad at Tennille, GA to Wrightsville, GA. In 1886, the W&T merged with the Dublin and Wrightsville Railroad and gained a through line to Dublin, GA. Ten years later the line was extended to Hawkinsville, GA through a purchase of a branch of the Oconee and Western Railroad. Then in 1907, the W&T acquired the Dublin and Southwestern Railroad which ran from Dublin to Eastman, GA. Service West of Dublin ended in 1941 through abandonment of two branch lines. The remainder of the W&T was merged into the Central of Georgia around 1971.
