The Georgia, Ashburn, Sylvester and Camilla Railway was founded in 1922 and operated a former line of the failed Gulf Line Railway from Ashburn, Georgia to Camilla, Georgia.
The GAS&C was a subsidiary of the Georgia Northern Railway which was purchased by the Southern Railway in 1966 and operated as a subsidiary.
The railroad used steam locomotives until 1948 when it was replaced by a diesel.
A member of the "Pidcock Kingdom" group of railroads,[2] this shortline was known informally by locals as the GAS Line.
