Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1886 the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway was founded and planned on building a railroad from Monroe, NC to Atlanta, GA. By 1892 the railroad had almost completed its original plan when a court injunction halted its progress into Atlanta. As a result, the GC&N developed the Seaboard Air Line Belt Railroad. The SALB ran about eight miles from Belt Junction, GA, (near Emory University), west to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway for which the GC&N had trackage rights into Atlanta. In 1898 the railroad acquired the Loganville and Lawrenceville Railroad. In 1901 the GC&N was formally merged into the Seaboard Air Line Railroad.
