Georgia Northeastern Railroad Overview
The Georgia Northeastern Railroad operates over 100 miles of track from the town of Elizabeth, Georgia (just north of downtown Marietta) to McCaysville, Georgia. Goods hauled are mostly timber, grain, poultry, and marble products. The stretch of track between Whitestone and Blue Ridge currently has no customers and is only used for occasional equipment moves for GNRR subsidiary the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. Blue Ridge Scenic operates tourist trains north of Blue Ridge to McCaysville, with this stretch also not having any existing customers.
GNRR interchanges with CSX at Elizabeth, Georgia.
