Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad

Encyclopedia : A : AT : ATL : Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad

Nicknamed "The Hiawasse Route" for a scenic portion of the railroad along the Hiawassee River, the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern Railroad was chartered in 1896 as a successor to the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad. Most of the AK&N's stock was purchased by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in 1902, which gave the L&N a complete route from Atlanta to Cincinnati.
