The Savannah and Statesboro Railway began in 1897 through a reorganization of the Cuyler and Woodburn Railroad. By 1899, it operated about 33 miles (53 km) of track between Cuyler and Statesboro, Georgia, United States.

The S&S lasted until 1933 when it was abandoned; a stub at Statesboro became the Statesboro Terminal Company, leased by the Georgia and Florida Railroad until its abandonment in about 1950.
The Midland Railway was founded in 1915 by George M. Brinson. The railroad had planned to build a line from Savannah to Stevens Crossing, Georgia, USA to connect with the Georgia and Florida Railway. By the start of 1916, the railroad had built from Savannah to Statesboro and later purchased the Savannah, Augusta and Northern Railway to complete the line. In 1922 the railroad was facing bankruptcy and the line from Statesboro to Savannah was abandoned the next year. The remainder of the line was reorganized as the Statesboro Northern Railway in 1924.

It was in the process of building from Garfield to Stevens Crossing, Georgia when in went into receivership and was sold to new owners around 1910. Apparently, the line retained the name under the new ownership however the line was being operated by the Savannah and Statesboro Railway from 1911 to 1915.
