M & B Railroad
For 63 years (1909-1972) the Marianna and Blountstown Railroad was Calhoun County's link to the railroads and commerce of the nation. Sometimes known as the "Many Bumps" or "Meat and Bread" the M&B had a significant impact on the lives of Calhoun Countians
Until 1929, before automible travel was common-place. the M&B provided passenger service. Farmers used the railroad to ship a wide array of agricultural products. In the early years logging spur lines extended into remote areas of the county and millions of board feet of long-leaf pine lumber were shipped from local sawmills. The M&B also carried mail, manufactured goods and building products.
During its operation, the 29-mile-long line was Florida's shortest railroad. Until 1938 it ran 16 miles farther south to Scotts Ferry. Steam lovomotive No. 444 was in operation when the M&B's first diesel engine arrived in 1947 and rests today on the exact location of the M&B road bed.
