Georgia Railroad Commission to Hear Dismantling Case
The Georgia railroad commission will conduct a public hearing for the Hawkinsville and Florida Southern railroad to seek permission to dismantle and tear up its line. The inquiry, requested by the ICC, aims to let affected residents speak within the state rather than travel to Washington. The hearing date is pending, likely late July, as the railroad has 60 days to submit replies to the ICC questionnaire.
