Blakely Southern Railroad Chartered in 1911 and constructed in 1911-12, the Blakely Southern may have had the shortest existence of any railroad in Georgia history. After entering receivership, its charter was annulled on September 21, 1914 and the line was abandoned the same year. The 22-mile railway ran from Blakely to a connection with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad at Jakin. Equipment consisted of one locomotive, one freight car, and one passenger car. 1915 Map (45K)   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
