The Ocilla and Irwinville Railroad was incorporated on October 4, 1900 and began operations the same year, operating a 11-mile line between Ocilla, Georgia and Irwinville, Georgia. It had only one locomotive and the railroad was purchased on February 19, 1903 by the Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad. By 1916, the line was abandoned.
Famous quotes containing the word railroad:
“People who make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children, but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
