Augusta and Summerville Railroad

The Augusta and Summerville Railroad (reporting mark AUS) is a railroad in Georgia, United States.

It was chartered in 1866 and operated until 1888 using horses to pull rail cars over a 7-mile route.^[1] Eventually the horses were retired and the A&S ended up operating a 3-mile railroad to provide connections between other railroads.

Between 1897 and 1900, the A&S was sold jointly to the

Georgia Railroad

.

The A&S is currently operated as a switching line jointly owned by CSX Transportation and the Norfolk Southern Railway.^[2]
