Reviews

Thanks should be given to Cline by all railroad historians for this book. The reader will discover that Alabama has an important place in the development of America's railroad system. --John W. Corns, President, Birmingham Railroad Heritage

Cline's profusely illustrated Alabama Railroads fills an important gap in southern railway history. His survey of Alabama's railroad development will long serve as the standard work on the subject. It is an engaging read, full of southern entrepreneurs in pursuit of profits, their successes and failures in building major railways in the state and many minor ones as well, and an engaging tale of the birth of Birmingham's iron and steel industry. James A. Ward, University of Tennessee-Chattanooga
