    Description
    The
    Savannah & Northwestern Railway
    (S&NW) was incorporated in June 1910 as the
    Brinson Railway
    , replacing the original
    Brinson Railway
    chartered in 1906 by George M. Brinson. In 1914, the railroad changed its name to
    Savannah & Northwestern Railway
    , as George Brinson was no longer associated with the company. The
    Brinson Railway
    had assembled through purchase of existing tracks and its own construction a line from Savannah to St. Clair, where it made a connection with the
    Georgia & Florida Railway
    .
    In 1916, the new
    Savannah & Atlanta Railway
    (S&A) completed a connection from the S&NW at St. Clair to the
    Georgia Railroad
    at Warrenton and Camak. The S&NW operated this extension under a traffic agreement until 1917, when it was merged into the S&A. The S&A was acquired in the 1950s by the
    Central of Georgia Railway
    , which was itself acquired in the 1960s by
    Southern Railway
    . Surviving S&NW lines are now part of
    Norfolk Southern
    .
    Items from the S&NW are not often found. I offer
    for auction an unissued capital stock certificate from the period 1906-1914
    . It is
    signed and sealed
    . The
    vignette shows a steamer pulling a consist of passenger cars
    . The certificate is printed on typical stock/bond security paper. This item measures appx 12x8 inches and is printed on typical stock/bond security paper. It is in
    excellent condition
    , in spite of being
    over 100 years old
    . There are no rips or tears, and the only writing/markings are the signatures. It has the customary cancellation punch holes.
    A nice item for any Georgia or Southern Railway railfan.
