This route use to cover 157 miles of track from Chattanooga, TN, to Carrollton, GA, which includes a few other lines which was adjacent to the CR&S. The Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus Railroad was purchased Central of Georgia in 1901. Today what's left of the Chattanooga, Rome & Southern is split in town, the northern most section of the route id owned and operated by Norfolk Southern which served industries throughout the Rossville, Clifton Hill area, and connect with the old TAG Railroad, and portion of the N&C branch via of Alton Park.
