Gulf Line Railway

Created as a subsidiary of the Southern Railway, the Gulf Line Railway was created in 1907 through a merger and lease of several smaller railroads in Georgia. These railroads included the Hawkinsville and Florida Southern Railway (leased), which ran from Hawkinsville, GA to Worth, GA, the Flint River and Gulf Railway (purchased), which ran from Ashburn, GA to Sylvester, GA, and trackage rights on the Georgia Southern and Florida Railway between Ashburn and Worth. The Gulf Line built new track from Sylvester to Camilla, GA in 1908. In 1913, after a reorganization, the Gulf Line was purchased and absorbed by the Hawkinsville and Florida Southern Railway.
