The "Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia Railroad" was created through a reorganization of the Chattanooga Southern Railway in 1911. A few years later, in 1922, the line's name was changed to the Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia Railway and was also known as the "TAG Route". The TAG ran from Chattanooga, Tennessee, through northwest Georgia, and into Gadsden, Alabama. The trackage began at Milepost 1 in Alton Park (Chattanooga) and continued southwest to the southern terminal in Gadsden, some 91.7 miles distant. The TAG was purchased by the Southern Railway in 1971, this line (23 miles of it) is currently being used by the Chattooga and Chickamauga Railway and currently ends at Kensington, Georgia. Nearly all remnants of the line are gone, except for the Pigeon Mountain Tunnel just south of Kensington and the pilings of the Yellow Creek Bridge near Leesburg, Alabama, on Lake Weiss. The steel bridge that crossed Yellow Creek now rests at the former location of the Gadsden terminal. The company still exists as a subsidiary of the Norfolk Southern Corporation.
