Atlantic Coast Line Railroad

The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad was a major American freight and passenger railroad company that operated along the southeastern U.S. from the late 19th century until its merger with the Seaboard Air Line in 1967. It served important ports and cities, facilitating the movement of goods—like agricultural products, manufactured goods, and raw materials—and passengers across the Atlantic Coastal region. Known for its efficient network, the ACL played a key role in regional commerce and transportation development during its years of operation. Its legacy continues through parts of the modern freight rail infrastructure and regional history.
