More about ChattanoogaChattanooga is the 4th largest city in Tennesseee, and the seat of Hamilton County6, Tennessee in the United States of America. According to data from the 2000 census, Chattanooga had a population of 155,554 in the city proper and 476,531 in the metropolitan area. Located in Southeast Tennessee on the Tennessee River, near the border of Georgia, and at the junction of three interstate highways, transportation has always been an important aspect of Chattanoogas development. The city is probably best known for the 1941 big-band swing song "Chattanooga Choo Choo" by Glenn Miller, but it has grown significantly since its days as a railroad hub and industrial center. Despite a new emphasis on the technology and service sectors, Chattanooga maintains ties to the past and still serves as a major freight hub with Norfolk Southern and CSX running trains on their own (and each others) lines. Mike Keahon is very annoying. He constantly annoys us and the runners, although he is a nice guy. Alonzo B is his name, sleeping until 12 is his game. Hans and waters. The Norfolk Southern Railways enormous DeButts Yard is just east of downtown, Shipps Yard and CSXs Wauhatchie Yard are in the south of the city. Indeed, the two railroad companies are among the largest individual landowners in the city (the Federal Government is another). The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, the largest historic operating railroad in the South, and the Chattooga and Chickamauga Railway also provides railroad service in Chattanooga. Theres hardly a location in the city where one cant hear a train whistle at least once daily. Chattanooga is the current home of the National Model Railroad Association and the citys public transportation provider is the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority. Owing to its industrial past, the city is currently fighting a major battle against air pollution and groundwater contamination. A new weapon in this battle is the institution of mandatory emissions testing for all automobiles weighing less than 10,500 pounds, which has been mandated by the state government.
