The Central of Georgia Railway Historical Society will not be having a spring meeting in 2023.
We had begun planning for a meeting, but had to cancel those plans due to some last-minute logistical issues.
We will announce plans for our fall meeting soon.
The October–December 2022 issue of The Right Way, the Central of Georgia Railway Historical Society’s official publication, was mailed to members on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.
Articles include:
Membership expiration is based on the last issue that a member is to receive. A one year membership in the Central of Georgia Railway Historical Society always includes four issues of The Right Way (regardless of the publication date). This ensures that each member receives the full benefit of their membership.

We’ve learned that some copies of the last issue of The Right Way (April–June 2022, Vol. 26, No. 2) have blank pages on the inside front and rear covers (pages 2 and 15). Those pages should, obviously, have printing on them.
If your copy has those blank pages, please let us know at allen@cofga.org and we’ll mail a replacement copy.
We don’t know how many issues were mailed with that defect, but hopefully, we have enough extra copies for everyone who needs one.

The fall membership meeting of the Central of Georgia Railway Historical Society, Inc., has been scheduled for Saturday, November 6, 2021. It will include visits to various railroad sites in the Stillmore, Ga., area, as well as a dedication ceremony for the Society’s flat car and a membership meeting (including elections for Board of Directors) in Savannah, Ga. (Note: Details were included in the July-Sept issue of The Right Way.)
We’ll meet at 9:00 a.m. that morning in Stillmore, Ga., and will spend the morning visiting sites related to the three railroads that served Stillmore —Stillmore Air Line (became part of the Wadley Southern), Bruton & Pineora (became part of the Central of Georgia), and the Millen & Southwestern (became part of the Georgia & Florida).
We’ll then leave for Savannah (about an hour’s drive).
The dedication ceremony for the Society’s 1925 CofGa flat car will be held in the Passenger Car Shop at the Georgia State Railroad Museum in Savannah around 2:00 p.m. Members will have the opportunity to see the Museum’s other CofGa equipment at this time, including caboose X59 that recently arrived.
While at the Museum for the dedication, we’ll have our annual business meeting, which will include elections for Board of Directors.
There is no cost to attend, but members should register in advance by sending an e-mail to allen@cofga.org. Please be sure to note how many will
be in your group, and include an e-mail or telephone number to contact you should there be a need to cancel or alter our plans.
Note that wearing masks and social distancing will be encouraged! Anyone feeling sick that day should not attend!
