Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain Railway

The Chatanooga and Lookout Mountain Railway is a historic railroad that operated in the southeastern United States.
The company was chartered in 1887 and began operations in 1889, running from Chattanooga, Tennessee to the Lookout Inn, a hotel at the summit of Lookout Mountain, Georgia.
The railroad was apparently not a financial success as it was abandoned in 1899. This line should not be confused with the modern Lookout Mountain Incline Railway, a heritage railroad that operates nearby.
