Augusta Southern Railroad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Augusta Southern Railroad (AAR reporting marks AUS) was established in 1893 through a reorganization of the Augusta, Gibson and Sandersville Railroad.

The railroad acquired the Sandersville and Tennille Railroad in 1894 and then in 1897 was leased by the South Carolina and Georgia Railroad. The lease ended in 1901 at which time the Southern Railway took control.

The Augusta Southern Railroad went bankrupt in 1919 and was acquired by the Georgia and Florida Railroad who abandoned the line by 1934.
