The Southern Alabama Railroad Reporting mark|SUAB is considered a "local railroad" by the AAR. It operated about mi to km|15.9 of track in Alabama. The Southern Alabama railroad operated between Goshen, Alabama to an interchange with CSX at Troy, Alabama.

The railroad was controlled by Richard Abernathy, the owner of several shortlines in the South. The Southern Alabama railroad operated only at Troy, with the remainder of the line to Goshen embargoed. Extensive rehabilitation of the line to Goshen was carried out just after the Conecuh Valley buyout.

Motive Power

Typical of Abernathy's railroad, there was no regularity of motive power. The general mix included a GP30, GP35, GP18, and a handful of switchers. The Southern Alabama railroad did not have a paint scheme of its own, with no locomotives carrying the SUAB reporting marks.
