Railroad History

The Seaboard Air Line Belt Railroad began after a court barred the Georgia, Carolina & Northern Railway, building toward Atlanta from Monroe, North Carolina, from building into Atlanta in 1892. The belt line was chartered in 1892 to build an eight-mile-long line between the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway (the Western & Atlantic Railroad) at Howells and Belt Junction, Georgia, located near Emory University. The Georgia, Carolina & Northern used Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis tracks to enter Atlanta.
