Luxapalila Valley Railroad (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Luxapalila Valley Railroad is a 38-mile short line freight railroad that operates between Columbus, Mississippi, and Belk, Alabama. The LXVR interchanges with the Columbus & Greenville, Kansas City Southern and Norfolk Southern. Commodities transported include forest products and waste products. The LXVR was acquired by Genesee & Wyoming in 2008. There have been two uses of Columbus and Greenville Railway, both for the same rail line. The first Columbus and Greenville Railway was formed by the sale of the Southern Railway operated Southern Railway in Mississippi, to local interests. It continued independent operations until 1972 when it was bought by the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad.
