The Bainbridge Northeastern Railway was a railway company in southern Georgia that ran Шаблон:Convert between Swindell Landing and Mount Royal, USA, starting in 1908.[1] It lasted only two years before it was abandoned.

History

The railroad company was chartered on September 7, 1907, and incorporated on September 14, 1907, in Atlanta with a capital stock of $200,000 to build a Шаблон:Convert line from Bainbridge, Georgia, across the Florida panhandle to the Gulf of Mexico.[2][3][4][5] One of the main incorporators, E. Swindell, also owned a logging railroad called the Georgia Eastern Railway, that was intended to be purchased by Bainbridge Northeastern.[1]

The Bainbridge Northeastern entered receivership in May 1908 because the company was, as its receiver put it, "... so intimately connected with the affairs of E. Swindell & Co." although the ownership of the railroad's infrastructure was still unclear.[6] The appointed receiver was J.M. Wilkinson, who was third vice president of the Georgia and Florida Railway.[7]

The line was built out to about Шаблон:Convert by 1910.[8]
