The property of Augusta Union Station Company, hereinafter called the carrier, consists of a passenger station with tracks, train sheds, and other terminal facilities for handling passenger traffic in the city of Augusta, Ga. The owned mileage comprises 0.262 mile of main line and 1.170 mile of yard and sidetracks. Its road thus embraces 1.432 mile of all tracks owned.


Corporate history.—The carrier was incorporated April 17, 1901, under the general laws of the State of Georgia, for the purpose of constructing and operating a railroad located entirely within the city of Augusta, Ga., to connect the tracks of several of the railroads in that city. The organization of the carrier was perfected October 30, 1901. Control of the carrier is vested in the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, the Southern Railway Company, and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company through ownership of practically all of the outstanding capital stock of the carrier. Its principal office is located at Augusta. The detailed facts as to the development of the fixed physical property are given in Appendix 2.
