Pete, it's East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad

>From Wikipedia:


The ETV&G was created in 1869 with the consolidation of the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=East_Tennessee_and_Virginia_Railroad&action=edit&redlink=1>
which
operated from Knoxville,
Tennessee<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoxville,_Tennessee>
 to Bristol, Tennessee <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol,_Tennessee>,
and the East Tennessee and Georgia
Railroad<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=East_Tennessee_and_Georgia_Railroad&action=edit&redlink=1>
which
operated from Knoxville,
Tennessee<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoxville,_Tennessee>
 to Dalton, Georgia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton,_Georgia>.

The ETV&G absorbed the Georgia Southern
Railroad<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Southern_Railroad> in
1881. The Atlanta Division of the railroad running from
Rome<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome,_Georgia>
 to Atlanta <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta> and on
toMacon<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macon,_Georgia> was
built in 1882 and the Rome and Decatur
Railroad<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rome_and_Decatur_Railroad&action=edit&redlink=1>
was
added in 1890.

In 1895 the ETV&G and the Richmond and Danville
Railroad<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_and_Danville_Railroad>
were
merged to form the Southern
Railway<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Railway_(US)>
