Milepost ANB 780 just south of the siding at Woodland, GA, on the busy CSX Fitzgerald sub represents miles from Richmond, VA, in the old Atlantic Coast Line scheme of things. But what is the significance of the "248" number cast in the back of the concrete milepost? That's probably the mileage from Brunswick, GA on the original line constructed by the AB&A (Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic) Railroad in about 1906. |
