Central of Georgia Railway Historical Society President Allen Tuten presented a program at the Bloomingdale History Museum in Bloomingdale, Ga. (west of Savannah) on Sunday, October 12, 2014.

The program, entitled “The Central of Georgia Railway and Related Lines: Trackage, Facilities, and Industries in Savannah, Ga.,” covered the history of the CofGa and its impact on the Savannah area. A number of vintage photographs and maps from the Society’s collection were used, showing the various trackage, facilities, and industries on both the Central of Georgia and the Savannah & Atlanta Railway in Savannah.

Following the presentation, several attendees took an optional walking tour on the Bloomingdale Rail Trail to the site of the CofGa station. There were approximately 30 people in attendance.
