Mobile & Great
Northern |
This road's great name concealed
the fact that it was intended to cover only the 67 miles between a point
on the Tensas River, 22 miles north of Mobile, and the connection with the
Alabama & Florida Railroad at Pollard, Alabama. It was chartered in
1856, track laying began
in March 1861 and the road was completed that November.
Despite its short length, it was a crucial link in the rail route
around the Montgomery to Meridian rail gap.
