INTRODUCTION
Of the older railroads in the South, the Georgia Road and the West Point Route are among the most historic. This volume is presented to tell the story of the steam locomotives on these railroads and to give a brief history of each road with emphasis on the part played in the War of 1861-1865. We feel it particularly appropriate that this book should appear during the celebration of the centennial of that great war.
Numerous reference works were consulted in obtaining data for this book. Histories of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company by both Mary G. Cumming and Joseph B. Cumming provided much information. History of the West Point Route by J. Arch Avary, Jr., and Marshall L. Bowie was also very helpful.
