Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line Railway

Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line Railway

Originally called the East and West Railroad of Alabama, the Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line Railway was formed when the Seaboard Air Line Railroad purchased the E&W in 1902 and renamed it in 1903. With two additions to the original E&W, the A&BAL did reach both Birmingham, AL and Howells, GA (which is Northwest of Atlanta, GA) by 1904. SAL fully absorbed the A&BAL in 1909.
