Planned route found on 1917 map. Strongly considered but never went past the talking stage. aka Asheville & Northern Railroad.

Chartered as the Asheville & Northern Railroad, but found on several maps as the Asheville & Tennessee Rairload, no track was ever laid, and no rolling stock was ever purchased. The holding company simply owned a franchise which allowed the construction of a possible line between Asheville and the NC/TN State Line. It never went any further than being chartered.
