Georgia Southwestern & Gulf Railroad


This 35-mile line between Cordele and Albany was built in 1891 by the Albany, Florida, and Northern Railway. In 1895, the line became the Albany and Northern Railway and, in 1910, the Georgia, Southwestern, and Gulf.

A 155-mile extension from Albany to St. Andrews, Fla. was planned, but it was never built.

In 1939, the GSW&G came under the control of the Georgia Northern Railway. The company was dissolved in 1942, but the line continued operation under its earlier name, Albany and Northern Railway. It was abandoned in 1977.

The Warwick depot stood alongside the GSW&G and its successor, Albany & Northern, before it was moved to its present site on Hwy. 300.
