Waycross Air Line Railroad
To T:DYK/P5
- ... that the route of the former Waycross Air Line Railroad is now an important CSX Transportation line? Source: Storey, Steve; Ray, David; McDaniel, Matt (November 2018). Historic Railroads of Georgia: A Historic Context Study and Evaluation of Georgia's Historic Railroads Appendix A: Atlanta, Birmingham & Coast Railroad (PDF) (Report). pp. 3–12.
- "The former ABC, including the original route of its progenitor, the Waycross Air Line, has become the longest and thus principal piece of CSX’s main through-route from Jacksonville, Florida to Atlanta and points beyond, and thus from the south Atlantic coast to the nation’s interior. As such, numerous sections of the ABC trunk line now feature double-tracked segments, and much of its length now utilizes concrete rail ties, to better withstand the heavy traffic volume."

@Trainsandotherthings: New enough but falls short by about 200 characters readable prose (1059 * 5 = 5295, and I'm getting 5064). Hook fact checks out and is cited. QPQ present. Just give me about 240 characters readable prose and this will be passable. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:20, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie: Oops! I thought I was over the limit for a 5x expansion, but seems I wasn't. I've added some more to the article now so it should be over the limit (DYK tool says 5532 characters). Trainsandotherthings (talk) 00:58, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
