Railroad History

The state of Georgia established the Gate City Street Railroad Company on September 26, 1879. Movers and shakers such as Laurent DeGive, Levi B. Nelson, Captain Augustus M. Reinhardt and John Stephens founded the company. In 1884, the company constructed a line that began at the Kimball House and went through Pryor, Wheat, and Jackson Streets to Ponce de Leon Springs. The original builders operated the line until selling it in January 1887. In October 1887, the line changed directions to run along Jackon Street to Ponce de Leon Avenue and then to the springs. It also built a branch to Piedmont Park.
