HISTORY OF THIS RAILROAD IS BELOW:The Southern Railway (reporting mark SOU) (also known as Southern Railway Company) was a US class 1 railroad that was based in the Southern United States. It was the product of nearly 150 predecessor lines that were combined, reorganized and recombined beginning in the 1830s, formally becoming the Southern Railway in 1894.At the end of 1970 Southern operated 6,026 miles of railroad, not including its Class I subsidiaries AGS (ALABAMA GREAT SOUTHERN,) CofG (CENTRAL OF GEORGIA), S&A (SAVANNAH & ATLANTA), CNOTP (CINCINNATI, NEW ORLEANS & TEXAS PACIFIC), GS&F (GEORGIA SOUTHERN & FLORIDA) and twelve Class II subsidiaries. The railroad joined forces with the Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W) in 1982 to form the Norfolk Southern Corporation. The Norfolk Southern Corporation was created in response to the creation of the CSX Corporation (its rail system was later transformed to CSX Transportation in 1986). The Southern Railway was renamed Norfolk Southern Railway in 1990 and continued under that name ever since. Seven years later in 1997 the railroad absorbed the Norfolk and Western Railway, ending the Norfolk and Western's existence as an independent railroad.
