Corporate history.—The carrier was incorporated March 8, 1898, for a term of 101 years, under the general laws of the State of Georgia, for the purpose of acquiring, maintaining, and operating the property formerly owned by The Blue Ridge and Atlantic Railway[sic] Company.

The carrier was in the hands of a permanent receiver from January 27, 1908, to February 24, 1909, when the receiver was discharged, all claims having been settled. An amendment to the carrier's charter dated July 19, 1902, authorized it to issue common and preferred stock in the par value of $250,000 in each class.

The detailed facts as to the development of the fixed physical property will be found in Appendix 2.

The following statement shows facts concerning the incorporation and succession of companies which were predecessors of the carrier:
