Previous G&F Operations

This railroad seems to have a confusing heritage since all three shortline holding companies renamed it when they purchased the railroad. I am going to combine all 3 into one article, since they all share the same history, heritage, tracks, etc. with each other. No sense in wasting space with a full history of the lines from the A&G, will simply link to the page. --FrankieG123 (talk) 19:25, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Images still needed

I'm sorry to say that the only image of anything belonging to the Georgia and Florida Railway is this maintenance truck I spotted on US 27 between Perry and Foley, Florida at one of their railroad crossings.

The man who was assigned to drive it told me there wouldn't be any trains coming until a day or two after this was taken. So, if anybody even succeeds in getting images of some G&F locomotives and trains, I'll be glad to accept adding that category to my image of this truck. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:25, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
