@ RoySmith: I thought it better to discuss this here than in the AfC comments :-) Yes, I added one WP:RS for the "Railway" version of the name. That appears to be the legal name of the railroad, at least as authorized. It wasn't uncommon to railroads to use both at various times. It might be worth mentioning that in the article, with appropriate sources. The Mirror Cracked ( talk) 23:49, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
Behind the NY Times paywall, but this short 1932 financial notice refers to "Georgia, Florida, and Alabama Railroad". And this (likewise paywalled) 1955 obituary also calls it, "the Georgia, Florida and Alabama Railroad". I have no clue how much of that is the official company name, and how much is just NY Times house style. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:18, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi @ FloridaArmy: would you care to expand on why you marked "in 1872 the project was abandoned amidst allegations of fraud by Kimball" as dubious? This is direct from the cited source. The Mirror Cracked ( talk) 00:13, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
