Empire and Dublin Railroad

Empire and Dublin Railroad

The Empire and Dublin Railroad was founded in 1888. It began by using a former logging railroad owned by the Empire Lumber Company that ran about 11 miles between Empire, GA and Dublin, GA then rebuilding and extending it to Hawkinsville, GA. The railroad ran into financial trouble and was reorganized as the Oconee and Western Railroad in 1892.
