The Cherokee Railroad is an historic railroad that operated in the U.S. state of Georgia.
It was organized in 1870 to take over operations from the failing
narrow gauge. Unfortunately, the financial problems for the line continued and it was eventually sold to the Cherokee Iron Company in 1879. The Cherokee Iron Company then leased the Cherokee Railroad's lines to the East and West Railroad of Alabama who, in 1886, purchased the line outright and then merged it into its own operations.[1]
