Historical Information
The Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia Railroad was created in 1911 as a reorganization of the failed Chattanooga Southern Railway. Placed in receivership in 1922, the TA&G was purchased and its name changed to the Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia Railway. The 92-mile line spanned from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Gadsden, Alabama and was purchased by the Southern Railway in 1971; a northern portion of the line today (2009) is leased from Norfolk Southern and operated by the Chattooga and Chickamauga Railway.
