The Vidalia depot was torn down to make room for the DOT's widening of the adjacent highway. It will be made one-way and will be parallel to the other one-way making up U.S. HWY 280 through downtown Vidalia. The community wanted this rather than a bypass. <br /> <br />This has made it a bit more difficult for me to arrange trips to Vidalia, as we lost our water source at the old depot. The good news is that Vidalia is very supportive of the SAM SHORTLINE and is working out a new arrangement for us. <br /> <br />Also, I'd like to praise Mr. Cecil Bowden, GM at the GC, and his crews. They are a good bunch of people to work with. I have very much enjoyed working with them in getting together our trips on that end of the line. <br /> <br />Lee <br /> <br />Lee Kinnamon, Chairman <br />Southwest Georgia Railroad Excursion Authority <br /> <br />Chief Conductor <br />SAM SHORTLINE Excursion Train <br /> <br />http://www.samshortline.com <br /> <br />
