Multiple localities with their respective clerks have signed and notarized this large mortgage which was signed by the president, Milton H. Smith and the secretary of the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad. The P&A was a company incorporated by an act of the Florida Legislature on March 4, 1881, to run from Pensacola to the Apalachicola River near Chattahoochee, a distance of about 160 miles (260 km). No railroad had ever been built across the sparsely populated panhandle of Florida, which left Pensacola isolated from the rest of the state. Once the P&A was created, De Funiak was named president of the new road, and Chipley became its vice president and general superintendent. On May 9, 1881, the L&N obtained control of the P&A by purchasing the majority of its $3 million worth of capital stock and all of its bonds, also valued at $3 million. Historic railroad document for the serious Florida railroad collector. ��������������������������������� Est. $140-280 Georgia 674 674 Central of Georgia Railway Co., 1912 Specimen Bond Georgia. $1,000 Specimen 5% Series A General and Refunding Mortgage Coupon Bond, Black print on green border and under tint, Men working on tracks with locomotive approaching behind, Specimen overprints and POC’s, VF-XF condition, Stamp over face stating holder needs to pay income tax for bond, ABNC. ���������������������������������������������������� Est. $75-150
