Biographical/Historical note
Under the general railroad laws of Alabama, the rail line from the Mississippi/Alabama state line to Haleyville, Alabama was chartered on Oct. 12, 1905 as the Alabama Western Railroad Company. It connected to the line chartered by the Mississippi and Alabama Railroad Company (IC 6 M4) to create one line from Corinth, MS to Haleyville. Both lines made agreements with the IC on Apr. 6, 1908 so the IC could operate trains over the tracks.
