HISTORY:
The Gibson County Railroad Authority purchased the former GM&O rail line from Jackson, TN to Kenton, TN from the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad in August 1984 and formed the West Tennessee Railroad to operate this line. In June 1988, Norfolk Southern RR purchased the railroad from Haleyville, AL through Corinth, MS and Jackson, TN to Fulton, KY from Illinois Central Gulf RR. In August 2001, the segment from Corinth to Fulton was leased to West Tennessee Railroad.
