Northeast & Southwest Alabama Track

The picture is from a piece of track dug on the Mississippi - Alabama border, just west of Cuba, Ala. The rail is 3 1/4" tall, 3 1/4" across the bottom and 2" across the top. It probably weighed 50 lbs/yard. It was located on a section that General Sherman destroyed in his early 1864 raid from Vicksburg.
