The Atlanta Railroads, Their History and Their Story.

This beautiful documentary covers the phenomenal history of the railroad capitol of the south.  A city 'born of the railroad', Atlanta's history is traced from its beginnings as a terminus for the state owned Western & Atlantic.

We continue with the development and growth of many lines such as the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis; the Louisville & Nashville; the Southern; the Central of Georgia; the Atlantic Coast Line; the Seaboard Air Line; and the Georgia Railroad (to name just a few).  Most of these lines merged to form the CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads and you will see their modern operations through a city handling 200 trains per day.

The story is told in documentary fashion ( similar to the critically acclaimed Civil War series seen on PBS). Noted Atlanta historians Franklin M. Garret and Col. Jim Bogle provide a unique look into a rich railroad history as shown through rare film and unpublished photos from numerous collections.

 Professional narration is provided by Hollywood and TV actor Dan Chandler.
