The Georgia Midland Railroad was a shortline railroad that operated several lines in Georgia that it acquired in 2004 from the initial operations of Ogeechee Railway. In 2009 the Georgia Midland was purchased by Pioneer RailCorp from Atlantic Western Transportation Company, the holding company for the Heart of Georgia Railroad. Pioneer renamed the railroad as the Georgia Southern Railway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=AWT Completes Sale of Georgia Midland Railroad )〕 Hauling an average of 5000 carloads per year of aggregate sand, stone, farm products and wood, the Georgia Midland Railroad connected with the Norfolk Southern Railway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 author=Georgia Railroad Association )〕 Initially the Georgia Midland operated three branch lines, all within Georgia, connecting Roberta through Fort Valley to Perry, Dover through Statesboro to Metter, and Ardmore to Sylvania. Subsequently the Ardmore-Sylvania line was returned to Ogeechee Railway, which now operates it. In 2006 the Georgia Midland was named Short Line Railroad of the Year by railroad industry trade journal Railway Age. == Gallery == Image:Georgia Midland tracks 05-14-04 186.jpg| Georgia Midland (GMR) tracks near Midville, Georgia.
