The line had originally been built around 1890 by the Albany, Florida and Northern Railway (AF&N). The AF&N was leased then to the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery Railway (SA&M) in 1892. In 1895, the SA&M went bankrupt and the AF&N was then reorganized into the Albany and Northern Railway. In 1910, the Georgia, Southwestern and Gulf Railroad (GS&G) leased the A&N with the goal of opening a line from Cordele to the Gulf Coast. The GS&G ran into financial trouble and was dissolved in 1942 at which time the A&N ran independently again. The Southern Railway acquired the A&N and Georgia Northern Railway in 1966, and merged the former into the latter on December 31, 1971. {{DEFAULTSORT:Albany Northern Railway}}{{US-rail-transport-stub}}{{GeorgiaUS-transport-stub}} 4 : Defunct Georgia (U.S. state) railroads|Predecessors of the Southern Railway (U.S.)|Railway companies established in 1895|Railway companies disestablished in 1971 |
