Etowah |
|||
| The road was chartered in 1847. It
was a very short line that connected
the Etowah Iron Works with the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The road owned no rolling stock and was serviced by the
W&A. Its rail was loaned from the Western & Atlantic when the
road was built and was removed by Sherman's troops in 1864. The line
was never rebuilt.
The W&A Annual Reports list the Etowah Station as though it were a Western & Atlantic property. The quantity of iron bar and casting shipped from this station make it clear that it is the one serving the Etowah Iron Works. No mention is made of rolling stock or track. An 1862 report from the Georgia House makes it clear that the road was run and equipped by the W&A. |
