The Marietta and North Georgia Railway was created in 1887 out of a consolidation of the Georgia and North Carolina Railroad that ran from Marietta to Ellijay in the north Georgia mountains and on to Murphy, North Carolina. In 1890, it became part of a route from Atlanta to Knoxville. The railway was later succeeded by the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railway, and in 1902, it was acquired by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. - Local Identifier:
