The Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad, known as the W&T, was an American railroad company chartered in 1883 to build a connection with the Central of Georgia Railroad at Tennille, Georgia, to Wrightsville, Georgia. Construction used convict labor and was completed in 1885, and the line was later expanded to Dublin and eventually Hawkinsville before the company was merged into the Central of Georgia in 1971.
