The Bainbridge Northeastern Railway was a railway company in southern Georgia that ran 18 miles (29 km) between Swindell Landing and Mount Royal, USA, starting in 1908. [1] It lasted only two years before it was abandoned.
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 70-mile long (110 km) 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 15 miles (24 km) by 1910. [8]
