St. Marys Railroad
| SM 4025 on Cajon Pass, CA, April 20th 2002. |
Organized
in 1924 as the successor to the Atlantic, Waycross & Northern Railroad,
this 11-mile short line runs from the coastal town of St. Marys to Kingsland.
A 3-mile branch also connects the line to Kings Bay submarine base. In
1940, the railroad was purchased by Gilman Paper Company to service the
new Kraft paper mill it was constructing at St. Marys. (Gilman Paper was
sold in 1999 to Mexico-based Grupo Industrial Durango, which recently
announced the closing of the St. Marys mill).
