The Western Railway of Alabama (WRA) also seen as "WofA"[1] was created as the Western Railroad of Alabama by the owners of the Montgomery & West Point Railroad (M&WP) in 1860.
When the line was constructed in 1870, the M&WP was merged into the WRA, creating a line from Selma to West Point, Georgia.
Although it was partially owned by the Central of Georgia around the turn from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, it did not end up being owned by Norfolk Southern when that company came into existence due to the merger of the CofG's parent, the Southern Railway, and the Norfolk & Western Railway.
The WRA still sees regular freight service.
