Alabama Southern Railroad Overview
The Alabama Southern Railroad is a class III railroad that operates in the southern United States. The ABS is one of several short line railroads owned by Watco. The railroad operates an 85-mile (137 km) line leased from the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC). It began operating in 2005. The railroad began operating on November 20, 2005 on lines leased from the Kansas City Southern Railway. The line was originally constructed by the Mobile & Ohio Railroad which was purchased through a foreclosure sale by the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad (GM&O) on August 1, 1940. The GM&O merged with the Illinois Central on August 10, 1972, resulting in the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. On March 31, 1986, MidSouth Rail purchased 373 miles (600 km) of track, which included this line, from the Illinois Central Gulf. On January 1, 1994, the Kansas City Southern Railway bought out Midsouth Rail.
