Southern RY family questions

[BoxcabE50]

After a disasterous Zip disk failure, :mad: am trying to rebuild my notes.

I have a million of these. But would like to start with- What date did the Southern gain control of, and when did they absorb the operations of, into The Southern RY:

Atlantic & East Carolina RY

Atlantic & Yadkin RY.

I believe the year 1950 comes into play somewhere. Correct? But I don't know month? Day? I don't see them in an Official guide, so they must have been absorbed?

:D
