Original Columbus and GreenvilleThe first Columbus and Greenville Railway {{Reporting mark|C&G}} was formed by the sale of the Southern Railway operated Southern Railway in Mississippi, to local interests. In January 1952, the CAGY retired its last steam locomotive, Baldwin 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler #304 built in 1904.[1] It continued independent operations until 1972 when it was bought by the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. Present Columbus and GreenvilleThe second Columbus and Greenville Railway {{reporting mark|CAGY}} was founded in 1974 and began operations in 1975 over divested Illinois Central Gulf Railroad trackage across the state of Mississippi. Its terminals, as the name implies, are Columbus and Greenville, Mississippi. In 2001, CAGY suspended service over {{convert|89.5|mi|0}} of track between West Point and Greenwood due to a washout. This action split the line in two. The western section operates between Greenville and Greenwood with an interchange with Canadian National in Greenwood. The eastern section operates the remaining trackage from West Point onwards. The company once specialized in transporting wood and paper products to and from local factories.The company's traffic base has expanded to include bricks, plastic products, feed grains for catfish and swine, finished and raw steel, and biodiesel as well as cotton and rice products. The company runs six trains a day, two between Greenwood and Greenville, two out of Columbus and two at the Severcorr steel mill between Columbus and Artesia. The majority owner of the Columbus and Greenville is CAGY Industries, which also owns the Luxapalila Valley Railroad and the Chattooga and Chickamauga Railway. In June 2008, CAGY Industries was purchased by Genesee & Wyoming Inc. PreservationSeveral pieces of CAGY equipment have been preserved and put on display:
