Chetoogeta Mountain Tunnel
The Chetoogeta Mountain Tunnel () refers to two different railroad tunnels passing through Chetoogeta Mountain in northwestern Georgia, USA.
The first tunnel, known as the Western and Atlantic Railroad Tunnel at Tunnel Hill, was completed on May 7, 1850, as part of the construction of the Western & Atlantic Railroad (W & A), the first state road in Georgia. It was the first major railroad tunnel in the South and is 1,447 feet〔(Georgia Railway article-Chetoogeta Mountain Tunnel ). Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage(railga.com), Retrieved 29 March 2011〕/≈0.27 mi or 441 meters in length. It was renovated in 1998-2000 and is now open to the public as a privately owned historic site.〔(Western & Atlantic Railroad Tunnel ). Tunnel Hill Heritage Center, Retrieved 29 March 2011〕
The second tunnel was built from 1926 to 1928 and is 1,557 feet〔(Tunnel Hill, Georgia ), roadsidegeorgia.com. Retrieved 29 March 2011〕/≈0.3 mi or 475 meters long. It is still in use by CSX Transportation, under lease from the Georgia Department of Transportation.〔 It, like the entire W & A subdivision, is a major route between Atlanta and Chattanooga.
The nearby town of Tunnel Hill, Georgia (originally Tunnelsville) was created and named for the first tunnel, and was the supply base for its construction materials and worker housing.〔
