Taken from the 1926 Central of Georgia official guide |
| Description: |
This is a page from the 1926 station list for the Central of Georgia. Note it shows several "Fruit tracks" and says they lead from various points to a distance up to 6.47 miles away. Were these branches that ran away from the main track into peach groves much the way logging railroads went away from mainlines in an effort to reach stands of trees??? In other words, were there branches of these distances in order to reach the peach crop??? |
