Album Info:The Alabama & Florida Railway is a shortline owned by Pioneer Rail Corporation, and operates between Andalusia, Opp, and Samson Alabama. The trackage is ex L&N, ex SBD, ex CSX. The A&F interchanges with Gulf & Ohio's Three Notch Railroad in Andalusia. There is track continuing on to Geneva Ala., but it is overgrown at the current time. All of my photos are from the Pioneer Rail Corp ownership era.
