Pensacola &
Georgia |
The road was chartered in 1856 to
build east from Pensacola. It started construction in Tallahassee and eventually met the west-building Florida,
Atlantic & Gulf Central Railroad at Alligator Town (renamed Lake
City), Florida in December 1860. The road also built west from Tallahassee almost to
Quincy, stopping construction in 1863 at Gee's Turn Out, 4 miles short
of the town. The Confederate
government eventually forced Florida to allow the building of a connection between
this line and the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad in Lawton,
Georgia so that Florida troops and cattle could be moved northward. The
road was built to the Georgia border (using rail removed from the
Florida Railroad), where it met the Georgia section
in March, 1865.
This road controlled the Tallahassee Railroad and operated it in
conjunction with the Pensacola & Georgia.
