Chartered in 1866 the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad was originally planned to connect the Western & Atlantic Railroad at Cartersville Georgia to the Selma Rome and Dalton Railroad at Prior Georgia almost on the Alabama state line.By 1870 the railroad had 14 miles (23 km) of 5 ft (1524 mm) broad gauge track connecting Cartersville to Taylorsville Georgia but further growth was apparently impeded by shady financial dealings by then Governor Rufus Bullock Hanniball Kimball and other associates.
