THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!!!THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!!!

GEORGIA’S RAILROADSGEORGIA’S RAILROADS Georgia's first railroad tracks were laid in the mid-1830s on routes leading from Athens, Augusta, Macon, and Savannah.

THE EARLY YEARS : THE CENTRAL RAILWAY Construction began in December The Central Rail Road of Georgia eventually became the Central of Georgia Railway, a 190-mile line across the Coastal Plain to Macon.

IMAGERY

GEORGIA RAILROAD COMPANYGEORGIA RAILROAD COMPANY chartered to a group of Athens businessmen in 1833 for the purpose of building a railroad from Augusta west into the interior of the state. In 1835 the charter was amended to allow banking operations, and the name was changed to Georgia Railroad and Banking Company.

WESTERN ATLANTICWESTERN ATLANTIC A rail link that would open Georgia to the trade of the Tennessee and Ohio valleys State-owned Western and Atlantic Railroad established by the state legislature in 1836 and completed in 1851, connected with Chattanooga, Tennessee

W&A This 137-mile line between Atlanta and Chattanooga was built in 1841–50 by the State of Georgia at a cost of almost five million dollars. Surveys for the line began in 1837, and the first train ran from Marthasville (Atlanta) to Marietta on December 23, 1842.

W&A roundhouse and offices in Atlanta.

WESTERN ATLANTIC CONT.WESTERN ATLANTIC CONT. W&A's southern end was at Terminus (later Atlanta), where it joined the Georgia Railroad from Augusta and the Macon and Western from Macon. In 1854 a fourth rail line, the Atlanta and LaGrange Railroad, entered Atlanta from the southwest, and soon the city became a rail hub for the entire South.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF ATLBRIEF OVERVIEW OF ATL This track ran from Chattanooga, Tennessee to a small hub called “Terminus,” which means “end of the line.” Terminus changed its name in 1843, to Marthasville, after the former governor Wilson Lumpkin’s daughter. Its name was changed again in 1845 to Atlanta, which many claim was simply a feminization of the name Atlantic. Due to the invention of the railroad, Atlanta became the first major American city to be built on a location without a navigable river.

MOVIE QUESTIONSMOVIE QUESTIONS Why and how did trains change economics in Georgia? What type of engine was originally designed for the trains? In what ways did society change when the trains were introduced? Closure: should society depend on trains as a form of transportation or should they be left in the past?
