Chattanooga & Durham Railroad Successor to the Chickamauga and Durham Railroad Company, which was sold under foreclosure in October of 1894. The Chickamauga and Durham had constructed the 17-mile line from Chickamauga to the coal mines atop Lookout Mountain in 1892. In 1900 the line was sold again, this time to the Chattanooga, Rome and Southern Railway. A year later the CR&S was acquired by the Central of Georgia, which operated the Durham line for a half-century before abandoning it in 1951. 1897 map (98K)   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage.
