1t has been said that the railroads
made Atlanta.
In the beginning, the place was
known as Marthasville The rail-
roads sought terminus, and Deca
tur which was thriving town, the
county seat Of DeKalb County, was
decided upon as the proper place.
But the good folks of Decatur
baked. They didn't want their SUM
bers disturbed by the snorting of To-
comotives. They We're positive in
their position not to let the railroads
come into town. and so the railroads
had to stay out.
Marthasville was not so particular.
In fact there was so littleN of the
place that a protest, had one been
forthcoming, probably could not be
heard At any rate, the railroad came
to Marthasville, and the name of the
place was changed to Terminus, A
roundhouse was built, and other
buildings necessary to the operation
of a railway were erected. Then the
train hands had to have homes, and
these were built.
Railroads Aid to Business.
In the course of time merchants and
business men generally, recognizing
the value of the railroad as an aid to
business. built warehouses. Strang-
ers were attracted to the place be-
cause of its nourishing condition.
They tarried. became citizens, became
inoculated with the Atlanta Spirit"
and the town grew and grew
other railroads came, and to-day
Atlanta is a great railroad center, no
less than seven big systems running
lines into it. These roads are the
Louisville & Nashville, operating as
the n. c. and ST. L., over the line of
the Western and Atlantic Estate
Road, which is under lease; the
Southern Railway the Seaboard Air
Line, the Georgia Railroad. the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, At
lanta and West Point, and the Central
Of Georgia.
The Southern is a consolidation OF
a number Of smaller roads. One OF
the first to be taken over by that
system was the Richmond and Dan
vile, which was operated from At
lanta toward Washington Another
important link was the East Tennes-
