Hawkinsville & Western Railroad A 23-mile rail line from Hawkinsville to Perry was built by the Hawkinsville & Western in 1914. (The grading between Hawkinsville and Grovania, however, may have been completed by the Oconee and Western.) The Ocilla Southern Railroad leased and operated it from 1918 to 1920, when it was abandoned and sold for salvage. 1921 map (87K)   RailGa.com.
