The Central Railroad of Georgia backs a long proposed Atlanta to Baltimore route to outpace rivals. Baltimore merchants are being courted as $2,000,000 loan funds the project, with Baltimore already investing $1,000,000 in Valley Branch assets. The plan would extend from Roanoke to Asheville, then to Waynesville and Atlanta, cutting distance by about 200 miles and using light grades to reduce costs. The Georgia Central aims to reach the North, hoping loan funds ensure construction.
