History:
The Tennessee Southern Railroad began operation on former Norfolk Southern track in Florence, Alabama in July of 1988. In February 1989, TSRR commenced operation on the former CSX Transportation track running from just north of Columbia, TN, to Pulaski, TN, on the former Nashville & Decatur line, and from Columbia, TN, to Florence, AL on the former Nashville, Florence & Sheffield line. Although the TSRR came into existence in 1988, its heritage dates back to 1879.
