Brunswick and Albany Railroad

Organized in 1869, the Brunswick and Albany Railroad was created to take over operation of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad which was a casualty of the civil war. Apparently the Confederate States of America took portions of the B&F rail line for use in other more strategic lines. By May of 1869, the B&A had reopened tracks between Brunswick, GA and a connection with the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad at Tebeauville, Georgia. The B&A went bankrupt in 1872 after a bond was nullified by the Georgia General Assembly. It was reorganized in 1882 and was then named the Brunswick and Western Railroad.
