Chattooga & Chickamauga Railway A short line railroad operating Chattanooga-to-Hedges, Georgia (19 miles) on the former Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia Railway and Chattanooga-to-Lyerly (49 miles) on the former Central of Georgia Chattanooga Division. The Georgia Department of Transportation purchased the Lyerly branch from Norfolk Southern in 1998 and began working with the C&C to increase freight traffic over the line. The Hedges line remains in NS ownership. The Lyerly branch originally continued south to Rome but Norfolk Southern abandoned this section before leasing the remainder to the C&C.
