History

In the grand scheme of railroad history, the 1977 derailment of a freight train in Metuchen was a decidedly minor event.

The Georgia Railroad is one of the more famous routes to operate in Georgia. It is among the first railroads in the state and operated until the 1980s when it merged into the Family Lines System.

The word probably first appeared in 1888, through the first hobos likely emerged in the years after the Civil War.
