It was sold under foreclosure (1886) and reorganized as the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway Company. The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway Company was controlled by the Richmond Terminal Company from 1887 to 1892 and purchased by the Southern Railway Company in 1896. The line is now part of the Norfolk Southern.
