Georgia Southwestern & Gulf RailroadThis 35-mile line between Cordele and Albany was built in 1891 by the Albany, Florida, & Northern Railway. In 1895, the line became the Albany & Northern Railway and, in 1910, the Georgia Southwestern & 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 & Northern Railway. It was abandoned in 1977.
