The Midville, Swainsboro and Red Bluff Railroad was chartered in 1888. It began operations on a line between Midville and Swainsboro, Georgia, U.S., sometime before 1890. It apparently never reached Red Bluff and was noted on some documents as the Midville and Swainsboro Railroad.[ citation needed] Locally it was referred to informally as "Jesse Thompson's Road". [1]
The railroad became the Atlantic and Gulf Short Line Railroad in 1900, [2] which went into receivership in 1903 after failing to complete an extension from Augusta, Georgia, to St. Andrews Bay, Florida. [1] It was eventually sold to the Georgia and Florida Railway in 1907. [2]
