====Streetcar====
* In 1898, the Valdosta Street Railway Company secured the right to operate [[tram|streetcars]] on Patterson, Ashley, Toombs, Lee, Hill, Central, Crane and Gordon streets. Valdosta was one of the smallest cities in America to have a street railway system. The streetcar operated in the downtown area between 1899 and 1924. The abandoned tracks were removed in the 1940s to be used as scrap metal for the war effort.<ref>Lowndes County Historical Society and Museum</ref>

====Intercity rail====
For several decades the [[Atlantic Coast Line Railroad|Atlantic Coast Line]] and the [[Southern Railway (U.S.)|Southern Railway]] ran regular passenger trains on a [[Chicago]] to Florida circuit, making stops in Valdosta, albeit at different stations. The Atlantic Coast Line ran the ''[[South Wind (train)|South Wind]]'' through Valdosta, and the Southern operated the ''[[Ponce de Leon (train)|Ponce de Leon]]'' and the ''[[Royal Palm (train)|Royal Palm]]'' through the town.

After [[Amtrak]] assumed passenger rail operations in the United States in 1971 it operated the ''[[Floridian (train, 1971–1979)|Floridian]]'' from Chicago to [[St. Petersburg, Florida|St. Petersburg]] and [[Miami]]. In a group of several train disestablishments in 1979, Amtrak discontinued the ''Floridian'', thus marking the last time that passenger trains served south Georgia (excepting the New York-Florida service in eastern Georgia).
