Whilst I was driving through Alabama on my way home from Texas (roomettes were sold out on the Crescent and the CL on the days I wanted to travel), I noticed some advertisements for a RR line in the area. It didn't match up with any of the excursion names I've found, and I can't remember the name of it for the life of me (I ran across it about 2 PM, and I was on the road until Pittsburgh).

Well there is the Heart of Dixie Railroad in Calera AL, Huntsville has a small museum that offers rides every other weekend or something like that. I'm trying to think of any others near Birmingham.

I do not know if this will help but old names of passenger and freight lines, before so many lines merged into others were:

Atlantic Coast Line

Birmingham Belt

Birmingham South

Central of Georgia

Frisco (full name, St Louis San Francisco)

Gulf Mobile and Ohio

Illinois Central

Louisville and Nashville

Seaboard

Southern
