TA&G Railway - Pigeon Mountain Tunnel

Pigeon Mountain Tunnel

The Pigeon Mountain tunnel is located in Walker County, Georgia northwest of Lafayette. Today, the tunnel is out of service and the rails have been taken up to a point about a mile north of the north portal in Hedges, Georgia, at the south end of the Chattooga & Chickamauga Railway's west district.
