Description
The
Fernwood, Columbia & Gulf Railroad Company
(FC&G) was a
Mississippi short line
. Organized in 1906 as the
Fernwood & Gulf Railroad
(F&G), the narrow-gauge line was
owned by and served one of the South's largest lumber mills
at Fernwood, Mississippi. It
connected with the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad
(NOGN, later, part of the
Illinois Central
). The
narrow-gauge line was replaced with a standard gauge line in 1910
as operations grew. After obtaining operating rights from the NOGN, the F
&G extended its operations to Columbia, Mississippi and was renamed the FC&G
. In 1972, the FC&G
became a part of the newly-formed Illinois Central Gulf Railroad
(ICG), which
abandoned most of the line
shortly thereafter.
The FC&G
provided limited passenger service, first with coaches and later a Brill rail-bus
.
For auction is an employee pass from the FC&G for the year 1930
