Alabama & Tennessee River

Company History: The ATN was born in 2004 when CSX leased their line between Birmingham and Guntersville, Alabama (the latter is on the Tennessee River) to the OmniTrax group of shortlines. The ATN serves about 36 customers. The route is made up of segments of the former Seaboard Air Line, Louisville & Nashville, and Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis. In total, the ATN is 120 miles long. Although their image is a little on the modest side (as of this writing, just one locomotive actually wears the official ATN paint scheme,) trains as long as 165 cars operate on this line.
