Alabama Coal Company |
|||||||||||||
| Little information has been located on
this railroad. The Alabama Coal Company sold 119 tons of coal to the
Government in March and July of 1863. It was sold and the name changed to the Montevallo Coal Mining Company in
1863 and used by that company and the Shelby Iron Works. The Mobile
& Selma mine was also on this road. This is the road referred to as
"The Coal Road" in correspondence. It joins the Alabama &
Tennessee River RR two miles below Montevallo.
This does not appear to be part of the Alabama Arms Manufacturing Company. (see and see) |
