Pine Mountain, Then and Now

All Aboard the Man O’ War


Listen Later

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.
