The Western Railway of Alabama was a pocket size Class 1 railroad linking Selma and Montgomery, Alabama with West Point just over the Georgia border where they connected with their sister road Atlanta & West Point. The two roads together were referred to as "The West Point Route" and were closely affiliated with the Georgia Railroad. All three were controlled jointly by L&N and SCL. As such, Western of Alabama was one of the "Family Lines."  In 1983, all of the Family Lines roads were merged to form Seaboard System. Traffic was relatively heavy and the route continues today to be an important line in the CSX system. This run features three all-new road numbers.
