The Chattahoochee Industrial Railroad (CIRR) is based in Cedar Springs, Georgia, and operates more than 15 miles of track between Hilton and Saffold, Georgia. CIRR connects with CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern. The railroad serves Georgia-Pacific's Cedar Springs containerboard mill, which is one of the company's largest and lowest-cost containerboard facilities. In 2004, CIRR hauled 22,770 carloads, including pulp and paper (70 percent), coal (13 percent), forest products (7 percent), metals (5 percent), and chemicals (4 percent).
