Athens Freight Lines Bring Southward Link to Sea Ports
Athens gains through running schedules and sleeping cars to Albany and Savannah via Georgia lines. Richmond and Danville Georgia system chief Gabbett plans through trains with Air Line at Lula, connecting Athens to the North and to Savannah and Albany, placing the city on a major trunk line toward the sea. The Georgia, Carolina and Northern completion would offer northern links rivaling any Southern city, save Westward routes. Much can be forgiven for Col Livingston's stance against the third party movement. his position strengthens within Georgia and signals a tempered rival dynamic with Governor Northen.
