Description
The Gainesville Midland Train Pulled By Engine 209
The history of Georgia is closely tied with its railroads which serviced livery stables,
cotton warehouses as well as motor inns and poultry industries.
Running forty-one miles across the rolling Northeast Georgia countryside, the Gainesville Midland Railroad, 1904-1959, was a bridge line between the business tracks of the Southern
Railway at Gainesville, Georgia, the broiler capital of the world, and the Georgia
Railroad and Seaboard Air Line at Athens, Georgia.
The last of the Georgia railroad short lines to run altogether on steam, the
Gainesville Midland and Engine 209 held fast to their ancient ways as late as 1957.
