The Frisco gained control over the AT&N in 1948; the AT&N had gone bankrupt in 1934. The legal shell of the AT&N may not have gone away until 1971.

Tombigbee Valley RR 1904-1913, Souwilpa, Ala., to the Tombigbee River at Nannahubba, Ala., 72 miles. Became part of the Alabama Tennessee & Northern RR which, in 1971, went into the FRISCO(SL-SF). Thus the TV was part of the line of the AT&N from Mobile to Reform, Ala.
