The Douglas, Augusta and Gulf Railway was created as a subsidiary of the Georgia and Florida Railway to consolidate lines of several smaller railroads. It started in 1905 by acquiring the Barrows Bluff, GA to Douglas, GA line that was from the Wadley and Mt. Vernon Railroad. The next year it bought the Pinebloom, GA to Nashville, GA section of the Ocilla, Pinebloom, and Valdosta Railway. Shortly afterward it took control of the Broxton, GA to Hazlehurst, GA branch of the Ocilla and Valdosta Railroad. From there, the DA&G built a new line from Douglas to Garrant, GA giving the railroad a line from Hazelhurst to Nashville. The DA&G was absorbed by the G&F in 1907.
