The eastern terminus is Guntersville, Alabama, near the Tennessee River. The parent comnpany of ATN is Omnitrax, a major operator of American and Canadian short lines.

The route is a combination of the remnants three former lines: the Seaboard Air Line Atlanta-Birmingham main line, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad former Mineral Belt line from Birmingham to Gadsden and Talladega, and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. All Businesses in Wellington, Alabama : Amazoncom Yellow Pages. Louis Railway line from Guntersville to Attalla, which once went further north to Huntsville using a car ferry over the Tennessee River. All of these lines eventually fell under the ownership of CSX. CSX and its corporate predecessors abandoned the L&N line south of Wellington, Alabama, where it crossed over the SAL main line; later the SAL line was abandoned from Wellington to Atlanta. The portion of the former L&N line from just north of Attalla (at its junction the NC&StL line) through Oneonta to Birmingham was sold to a quarry owner along the line, who intended to operate it as an independent shortline. Almost all of the line was later abandoned, leaving an L-shaped line from Birmingham to Guntersville. Find cheap flights and hotels at Kayakcom.
