This railroad used to run between Valdosta & Madison, FL; it had formerly been operated by the Georgia and Florida Railroad, whose predecessor, the Florida Midland and Georgia Railroad, built the line back in the in the 1880s or 1890s, running steady for the first half of the 20th century until The Valdosta Southern Railroad was incorporated in August 1951 and bought the portion from Valdosta south to Madison, Florida, which the G&F had already made plans to abandon. The line was cut back to Clyattville, Georgia in March 1972, leaving this portion abandoned ever since!
