HISTORY:
The Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway was formed in 1997 to acquire the rail line from Pensacola, FL to Kimbrough, AL from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF). In 2003, BNSF also sold their rail line from Kimbrough, AL to Columbus, MS to Alabama & Gulf Coast Ry, in addition to an isolated section of former Alabama Tennessee & Northern RR line near Mobile, AL. As a part of this deal, Alabama & Gulf Coast Ry gained trackage rights on the BNSF line between Columbus, MS and Amory, MS, and on Norfolk Southern RR between Kimbrough, and Mobile, AL. The Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway was owned by States Rail, Inc., a shortline holding company. This company was sold to RailAmerica in 2002, which was then acquired by Genesee & Wyoming in late 2012
