Three railroad depots ordered for Gossip at the Capitol
The Georgia railroad commission ordered three depots in Gentle, with an option to form a union passenger station if the railroads entering the town chose. The action followed a citizen request for adequate depot facilities and involved a tentative plan to consolidate passenger services. A separate measure approved stock issuance for the Georgia Coast and Piedmont Railroad and denied a larger securities request, while a charter for the Savannah and Southwestern Railroad sought a line from Savannah to Fort Gaines across several southern counties with named incorporators.
