History
Upon its creation in 1989 as a division of the South Carolina Central Railroad the Georgia Southwestern railroad operated over two lines making junction at Richland. The first ran 130.7 miles (210.3 km) from Rhine west through Richland and Omaha, Georgia before crossing over the Chattahoochee River and terminating at Mahrt, Alabama. A second line originated at Columbus and traveled south through Cusseta and Richland before ending at Bainbridge, Georgia, 127.9 miles (205.8 km). Both routes were sold by CSX on July 5, 1989.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
