Piedmont Air-Line A marketing name used in the 1870s to early 1890s by the Richmond & Danville Railroad and several other railroads under its control. In Georgia, these were the Atlanta & Richmond Air Line Railway and its successor, the Atlanta & Charlotte Air Line Railway. The new Southern Railway took over these lines in 1894 and continued to use the Piedmont Air-Line name for a time. 1875 advertisement (292K) 1885 advertisement (438K) 1888 map (360K) From: E. Y.
