| Surveys are being made from Kort
:Valley to Unadilla, it is said, by Sea
‘board engineers with a view of con
necting the Fort Valley lines of the
FSout‘hern with those of the Georgia
Southern at Unadill2, the plans be
}ing to use Southern trackage Atlanta
to Fort Valley, through Unadilla and
ion to Cordele, thence to Albank over
lme G. 8. W. & G, and to the west
coast of Florida. A story sent out of
Fort Valley and used by ihe Associat
‘ed Press runs ag follows: }
FORT VALLEY, Ga., May 6 (P)—A
corps of railroad engineers are sur-;
veying this section with the possibili
ty of connecting Fort Valley with Una
dilla on the Southern railway, a dis
tance of approximatcly 30 miles, it
is reported here today.
The surveys are understood to be |
in progress about four miles from Ft.
Valley where the surveyors have pitch
ed camp.
According to the engineers, the Sea
board Air Line as acquired traffic
privilege from the Southern over their
route into Fort Valley, from which
point the Seahoard will construct
their road to connect with the South
ern again at Unadilla, and continue
ing use of the Southern tracks for 20
miles from Unadilla to Cordele, where
they make connection with their own
road leading south into Florida.
The proposed new route will give
the Seaboard a short route to the |
west coast of Florida and, according
to officials, will be a route whereby
the Seaboard can put their passeng
ers into Florida as suickly as by going
any other route.
The proposed section from Fort Val
ley to Unadilla will traverse a rich
section of Peach, Houston and Dooly
counties, it is said.
