Description

While most railroads in North America experienced periods of "boom or bust", there is some justification in saying that the Georgia & Florida Railway never experienced a true "boom". The G&F was plagued with financial constraints throughout its history. Indeed, had it not been for its dedicated officers and employees, the Georgia & Florida might well have been abandoned early on. As an example, its agents were well respected for their ability to secure every car load possible from shippers who might otherwise have dispatched their goods via any number of shorter, faster routes. Likewise, it was a family oriented road with sons following fathers and grandfathers in train, maintenance of way and other services. Where larger roads could boast of heavy ballasted right-of-ways, modern motive power and high speed trains, the Georgia & Florida offered personal service.
