Alabama &
Florida (of Florida) |
The road was chartered by Florida
in 1853 to meet with the road of the same name that was chartered by
Alabama. The first intent was to connect the cotton growing areas near Montgomery, Alabama
with Pensacola, Florida; in the future, it was expected to handle
Alabama coal shipments. Construction began in 1856 and the entire line
to Montgomery was completed in
May 1861. The road's rail was removed by the Confederates after Pensacola was
abandoned in early 1862. Part was used to complete the Alabama & Mississippi Rivers Railroad and to build sidings on the
Mobile & Great Northern Railroad.
More of the road's rail was removed in April 1863 to make repairs to
the Montgomery & West Point Railroad.
The road was still running a train, at Government request, from Pollard
to Milner's Station through at least the end of 1863.
A large number of documents survived the war relating to the removal
and seizure of the road's iron and the seizure of its rolling stock and are probably somewhat representative of the relations between the
roads' whose rails were seized and the Confederate Government.
