Alabama & Mississippi Rivers |
| The road was chartered in 1850 and
was intended to connect Selma, Alabama with the Mississippi state line.
The Selma to Uniontown portion was completed before the war, but
resources to finish the work were unavailable to the state or railroad.
Because it was a link in providing a cross-Confederacy railroad, it was
made a high-priority project by the Confederate government and rail was
provided by stripping lesser lines. The road was completed to Meridian
in December 1862 -- except for the lack of a bridge over the Tombigbee
River. The gap forced the unloading of cars at Demopolis for a steamboat
ride to McDowell's Bluff and reloading of the cars.
The gap between Selma and Montgomery, not a part of the Alabama &
Mississippi Rivers, but part of the urgently needed trans-Confederacy
line, also remained and was handled with another steamboat ride.
The name was changed to the Selma & Meridian
Railroad in 1864.
