This was once the Capitol of Georgia.

Plant Harlee closedin April 2015 and demolition of tall tower took place in 2016. Georgia Railroad tracks still in place but only customer on the whole branch is a quarry in Sparta. Per a conversation early in 2017, Charles Brown, the author of Railroads in Milledgeville, says there is talk that the tracks from Sparta to Milledgeville may be removed.

Also, forgot to add, the Georgia RR Milledgeville depot burned a few years ago.

The rest of Plant Harlee was demolished in early fall of 2017.

The line is still in place between Sparta and Milly, but horribly overgrown with vegetation. A tornado went through a couple of years ago near the hospital damaging a couple of the CSX crossings in town, and remain as such to this day.
