From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Americus, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad was a historic railroad in the United States states of Georgia and Alabama.
Originally a narrow gauge railway, it was chartered in 1884 and started operations the next year between Americus and Richland. It eventually operated from Louvale to Abbeville. [1]
In 1888, it changed its name to the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery Railway.
