Description ▲
The West Point Route consisted of the Western Railway of Alabama and the Atlanta & West Point Railroad, operating in Georgia and Alabama. Once considered by David Morgan of Trains magazine to be the "All American Railroad", but not selected because of its short 225-mile length, it had full-blown passenger and freight operations. Controlled by Atlantic Coast Line with Southern, forwarding such trains as the Piedmont Limited and The Crescent. This book gives a detailed, cogent, and well-documented history of this well-known but little understood operation.
