Hawkinsville and Florida Southern Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hawkinsville and Florida Southern Railway was founded in 1889 and by 1901 was operating 43 miles of track from Hawkinsville, GA to Worth, GA where it connected with the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad. It also operated a 15 mile line between Davisville, GA and Fitzgerald, GA. In 1907, a portion of the H&FS was leased to the Gulf Line Railway However, in 1913, the H&FS took over operations and fully absorbed the Gulf Line resulting in a line from Hawkinsville to Camilla, GA. In 1922, the H&FS went bankrupt. The section from Camilla to Ashburn, GA was purchased by the Georgia, Ashburn, Sylvester and Camilla Railway but no buyers could be found for the remainder of the system and it was abandoned by 1923.
