Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway

In 1886 the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway (GC&N) was founded and planned on building a railroad from Monroe, North Carolina, to Atlanta, Georgia, USA. By 1892 the railroad had almost completed its original plan when a court injunction halted its progress into Atlanta. As a result, the GC&N developed the Seaboard Air Line Belt Railroad (SALB). The SALB ran about 8 miles (13 km) from Belt Junction, Georgia, (near Emory University), west to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway for which the GC&N had trackage rights into Atlanta. In 1898 the railroad acquired the Loganville and Lawrenceville Railroad. In 1901 the GC&N was formally merged into the Seaboard Air Line Railway.
