From the May 5, 1971 edition of The Forest-Blade:
FOR THE FIRST TIME…

LAST TIME AROUND
Dana Cassidy Kent, age four, experienced his first and last train ride on the Nancy Hanks. Son of MR. and Mrs. Dana Kent of Wadley, he was among those passengers riding the Nancy during its last run Friday. He rode the train from Wadley to Macon. A memento of the trip is a cap Dana is wearing which is one of those left over from some 50 years ago, when they were given as souvenirs to the train’s young passengers.
