          A description of the main collection is at http://ghs.galileo.usg.edu/ghs/view?docId=ead/MS%201362-ead.xml;query=;brand=default

          Descriptions of addenda and subsidiary collections are at http://ghs.galileo.usg.edu/ghs/search?keyword=&title=central+of+georgia&creator=&year=&year-max=&smode=advanced

          Whenever another railroad became part of the Central of Georgia as a result of merger or acquisition, the Central of Georgia usually acquired that railroad's records, so that the records of many smaller railroads are part of the collection.  A general list of the railroads that merged with or that were acquired by the Central of Georgia through the years is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_of_Georgia_Railway

          Where in general is the section of right of way you are dealing with?  I have title abstracts for many of the railroad rights of way in coastal Georgia.
