In October 1882, the French Broad and Atlantic was consolidated with the Atlantic and French Broad Valley Railroad Company (of North Carolina), the Morristown, Cumberland Gap and Ohio Railroad, the Morristown and Carolina Railroad, and the Cumberland Railway to form the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railway.[2]
