Brunswick & Western Railroad

On December 19, 1882, the Brunswick and Albany Railroad was reorganized as the Brunswick & Western. It connected Albany and Brunswick over a distance of 171 miles.

Henry B. Plant's Savannah, Florida & Western purchased control of the Brunswick & Western in 1888. Plant became president of the line, with H. S. Haines of Savannah serving as general manager.

In 1889, the railroad operated 23 locomotives, 19 passenger cars, and 333 freight and miscellaneous cars.

The Brunswick & Western was merged into the SF&W in 1901.
