Overview
The Covington & Macon Railroad was founded in 1885 and started operations in 1887, connecting Macon and Hillsboro in Jasper County. It ultimately stretched 102 miles, reaching Athens in December 1888. However, it went bankrupt and was sold at a public auction in 1891. It was then reorganized as the Macon & Northern Railroad.
