Back in the day they connected with Southern, Louisville & Nashville, Alabama Tennessee & Northern (later part of Frisco) and Gulf Mobile & Ohio. Today, they have 25 customers and move scrap metal, asphalt, chemicals, lumber, biodiesel, ethanol, chlorine, alkalides, pipe, paper, coal, coke, pig iron, containers, grain, seed, fertilizer, cement and rail cars for repair.
