Rail extension talk could connect Athens to Tennille and beyond
Sandersville and Tennille railroad bought by Jeff A. Irwin and L. B. Holt sparks talk of extending to White Plains and linking with the Georgia railroad to reach Atlanta and the East. The plan would create a direct Athens line to Tennille, easing access to Macon and Savannah and boosting wholesalers, manufacturers, and jobbers in the Classic City.
