Chickamauga & Durham Railroad
The Chickamauga and Durham Railroad, chartered in 1889 as the Chattanooga & Gulf Railroad, built a rail line from Chickamauga, Georgia, to the mining town of Durham, high atop Lookout Mountain. The 17-mile route was completed in 1892. After foreclosure in 1894, it was reorganized as the Chattanooga and Durham Railroad.
In the 1894 edition of The Official Railway List, the Chickamauga and Durham reported operating 18 miles of railroad with 2 locomotives.
