The Americus, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad was a historic, 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad in the state of Georgia in the United States.

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 was reorganized as the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery Railway.
