    Description
    The
    Fernwood, Columbia & Gulf Railroad Company
    (FC&G) was a
    Mississippi short line
    . Organized in 1906 as the
    Fernwood & Gulf Railroad
    (F&G), the narrow-gauge line was
    owned by and served one of the South's largest lumber mills
    at Fernwood, Mississippi. It
    connected with the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad
    (NOGN, later, part of the
    Illinois Central
    ). The
    narrow-gauge line was replaced with a standard gauge line in 1910
    as operations grew. After obtaining operating rights from the NOGN, the F
    &G extended its operations to Columbia, Mississippi and was renamed the FC&G
    . In 1972, the FC&G
    became a part of the newly-formed Illinois Central Gulf Railroad
    (ICG), which
    abandoned most of the line
    shortly thereafter.
    The FC&G
    provided limited passenger service, first with coaches and later a Brill rail-bus
    .
    For auction is an employee pass from the FC&G for the year 1930
    . The pass is unused. It measures appx 4 x 2 1/2 inches and is printed on medium-weight paperstock. This item is in
    excellent condition
    , with no rips, tears, writing, markings or folds. It is stored and will be shipped in a hard-side plastic collector's sleeve.
    A great collectible for the fan of Mississippi railroads or short-line lumber rails.
