{"product_id":"central-of-georgia-railway-jackson-mcquigg-9780738516165","title":"Central of Georgia Railway","description":"Organized in 1833 by Savannah businessmen, the Central of Georgia Railway was chartered by the Georgia Legislature as the Central Rail Road \u0026amp; Canal Company. The line, connecting Savannah to the interior of the state, boosted the coastal city's seaport, which had lost business to Charleston because of the South Carolina Rail Road's inland reach. In 1843, the Central was extended from Savannah to the outskirts of Macon, and after nearly 120 years of successful operation, the Central of Georgia Railway was purchased by Southern Railway. By 1982, it became merely an accounting entry in the books of Norfolk Southern, a major transportation company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jackson McQuigg, Tammy Galloway, Scott McIntosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738516163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738516165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.42w x 0.34d","brand":"Jackson McQuigg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925772632319,"sku":"9780738516165","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_56834562-f01e-4388-abb9-e9de65f23fa0.jpg?v=1681079265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/central-of-georgia-railway-jackson-mcquigg-9780738516165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
