Three connecting short lines in southwest Georgia — the Georgia Northern; Albany & Northern; and Georgia, Ashburn, Sylvester & Camilla — were known as the “Pidcock Kingdom” owing to their onetime control by C. W. Pidcock. By 1968, when GN SW8 No. 13 ambled north with a freight on the GAS&C, they were all under the Southern Railway umbrella.
