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:
“I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can’t say—I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”
—Harriet Tubman (1821–1913)
