Warren Stephens General Very interesting picture. This is in the Alton Park community where the TAG had their yard and shops. The building in the background is the Chattanooga Glass Company which made the hourglass bottles for Coke. All of Chattanooga's railroads came to Alton Park to switch. CofG came over on their industrial belt, the Southern came via their subsidiary the Chattanooga Belt Railway and the NC&StL/L&N came over on their industrial beltline which they called the "Alton Park extension". It was not uncommon to see several railroads trying to switch around one another. 1/4/2014 1:27:05 PM
