All Aboard the Man O’ War
About this episode
The episode explores the history and significance of the Man O’ War train service in mid-century Georgia.
All Aboard Man O’ War is a ride back into mid-century Georgia, when Pine Mountain was still Chipley and the Central of Georgia Railway’s streamlined Man O’ War carried passengers between Columbus and Atlanta in air-conditioned comfort. We’ll talk opening day in 1947, what made the train feel “fancy,” and the best detail of all: the Man O’ War’s birthday celebrations—complete with cake and photo-worthy pageantry. Photos mentioned in the episode will be posted on the Pine Mountain, Then and Now Facebook page.
