- Raleigh_and_Augusta_Air_Line_Railroad abstract "The Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad was a North Carolina railroad that operated in the second half of the 19th century.The Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad traces its history back to the early 1850s, when the line was chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly as the Chatham Railroad in February 1851. It changed its name to the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad in 1871, and was chartered by the South Carolina General Assembly in February 1878.In 1871, the Chatham Railroad was reorganized as the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad. The carrier's goal was to build a line from Raleigh to Augusta, Georgia, through Columbia, South Carolina. However, it never progressed past the North Carolina-South Carolina state line, where it met the Palmetto Railroad.The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad controlled the Raleigh and Augusta Air-Line Railroad, owning most of its stock. By this time, the Raleigh and Augusta stretched from Raleigh, North Carolina, toward Hamlet, North Carolina. Later, the Raleigh and Gaston, and Raleigh and Augusta both fell on hard times during the Panic of 1873, and John M. Robinson, president of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, acquired financial control of both carriers, becoming president of all three railroads in 1875.By 1881, the Seaboard and Roanoke, the Raleigh and Gaston, and others were operating as a coordinated system under the Seaboard Air-Line System name for marketing purposes, combining the nicknames of the two principal roads.By 1883, the Raleigh and Augusta was operating nearly 100 miles (160 kilometres) of track between Raleigh and Hamlet.In November 1899, stockholders of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad considered the consolidation of the Raleigh and Gaston with the following other roads:Raleigh and Augusta Air Line RailroadDurham and Northern RailwayRoanoke and Tar River RailroadSeaboard and Roanoke RailroadLouisburg RailroadCarolina Central RailroadPalmetto RailroadChesterfield and Kershaw RailroadGeorgia, Carolina and Northern RailwaySeaboard Air Line Belt RailroadGeorgia and Alabama RailroadFlorida Central and Peninsular RailroadGeorgia and Alabama Terminal CompanyLogansville and Lawrenceville RailroadRichmond, Petersburg and Carolina RailroadPittsboro RailroadSouthbound RailroadThe resulting company became known as the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. The Raleigh and Augusta Air Line was merged into the Seaboard in November 1901.".
