Wills Valley

This road was chartered in 1852. Construction began in 1858 and continued until 1862. The road fed a fertile valley into Chattanooga and was a link in what would have been (and was after the war) a Selma to Chattanooga line (on the New York to New Orleans air line). Its rolling stock spent much of the war leased to various other roads.
