Upson County Railroad Company was the successor to the Thomaston and Barnesville Railroad Company, which was originally established on December 23, 1839, by an act of the Georgia General Assembly.
In 1856, the Thomaston and Barnesville Railroad completed a rail line spanning between Thomaston, Georgia and Barnesville, Georgia.
Following a legislative revision on December 6, 1860, the company adopted the name Upson County Railroad. By 1869, majority stock ownership transferred control to the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia.
The railroad suffered destruction during the American Civil War, but reconstruction was completed in 1870. Starting that year, its operations were overseen by the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia.
On February 2, 1914, ownership of Upson County Railroad was transferred to the Central of Georgia Railway Company.
