The Anniston and Atlantic Railroad was a 53-mile 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge railroad built between Anniston and Sylacauga, Alabama via Talladega and Murphy.
The line was built to haul timber, charcoal and iron ore to Anniston, where it could be transferred to the standard-gauge Southern Railway.
To this, the L&N added the Shelby Iron Company's railroad to create the Alabama Mineral Railroad.
The A&A's narrow-gauge track was converted to standard gauge later that year.
Much of the right-of-way still exists as part of the CSX Corporation's trackage in the area.
