Suspension, Alabama

Suspension is a ghost town in Bullock County, Alabama, United States.

The Mobile and Girard Railroad incorporated in 1849 and began laying a track southwest from Phenix City, Alabama.

By 1852–53, the grading of the railroad bed had been completed to Union Springs, located 9 mi (14 km) southwest of the settlement, however, by 1858 the laying of track had only been completed to a location known as "Stewarts Mill" because extensive excavations were required to complete the track from Stewarts Mill to Union Springs.

[4][5] Because the track laying was temporarily suspended at Stewarts Mill, the location became known as "Suspension".

[4] Bullock County Road 40 crosses the now-abandoned railway at Suspension, though nothing remains of the settlement.
