In 2019, RJ Corman bought this line from NS, and began operating on it, being the first RJ Corman-owned line in the state of Alabama.

In October, I had managed to get myself a speeding ticket in Childersburg that I had to pay, I made my way back to this area to get it paid. However, since I was in the area, I decided to swing back by this crossing...
