ACL/SAL Trackage

greenspun.com : LUSENET : ACL and SAL Railroads Historical Society : One Thread

Now that we are in the 21 first centry, does anyone have knowledge of how much trackage (mileage wise) remains for the ACL vs. SAL. I realize a lot of trackage has been abandoned on both sides, but who's side has retained the most.

The ACL has the most trackage left on the modern day CSXT according to the tonnage charts of all active lines

I would venture to guess that more ex-SAL trackage exists to this day

ACL lost ALOT of trackage in florida, whereas most SAL is still in use, notable exception SAL coleman-auburndale. The SAL mainline was cut savannah-north of jax, and from norlina-petersburg, whereas the ACL mainline is intact from tampa-richmond

im sure someone here has the exact figures
