History


Main articles: Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railroad and Abbeville–Grimes Railway Company

The company's main line between Panama City and Dothan was constructed in 1906–1908 by the Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railroad (ASAB).[2] The Abbeville branch was constructed in 1887–1893 by the Alabama Midland Railway and came under the control of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1902.[3]CSX Transportation, eventual successor to the ACL, sold the line to the Abbeville–Grimes Railway Company (AG) in 1989.[4] This company was merged with the Bay Line Railroad on June 26, 1996.[5]


The Stone Container Corporation had owned the ASAB since 1987.[6][page needed] Effective January 1, 1994, it sold the assets of the railroad to Rail Management Corporation, which created the new Bay Line Railroad company to operate it.[7]Genesee & Wyoming acquired all the assets of Rail Management on June 1, 2005, including the Bay Line Railroad.[8]
