North Western Railroad of Alabama |
|
This road was completed in the late 1850's and connected New Bern, Alabama to the Alabama & Mississippi Rivers RR. The intention was to extend the road 10 more miles to the north to Greensboro, but work had not started when the war came. The region was extremely productive, but the soil would not support wagon travel for half of each year. | |
