Shelby Coal Company |
|||||||
| Little information has been located on
this railroad, though its Superintendent attended a railroad
convention in Augusta, Ga. in December, 1862.
The name may have referred to the County, rather than the exact name of
a company. If so, it was the Alabama Coal Company that was represented. The Shelby Coal Company RR was a spur off the Alabama Coal Company RR. The railroad distance from the mine to the Shelby Iron Works was about also 24 miles. The Shelby Iron Works bought a part interest in the Montevallo Coal Mine Company in 1864, including the railroad to them. |
