Georgia Ashburn Sylvester & Camilla

Company History: The GAS&C was formed in 1922 by the Pidcock Lines (or Pidcock Kingdom depending on who you ask) to take over operation of the 50 mile Camilla to Ashburn, Georgia segment of the former Gulf Line Railway, a former subsidiary of Southern Railway that had been cast into receivership. The Pidcock Lines were famous for running single FTA diesels on local freights through the late 1960s. In 1966, Southern Railway bought control of the surviving Pidcock Lines and in 1972 the GAS&C was merged into the Georgia Northern (the most important of the Pidcock Lines.)

Successor/Parent History: Georgia Northern is the most important of the Pidcock Lines.
