The route was originally constructed over several years (between 1880-1901) as the Pensacola & Selma Railroad and quickly became a part of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad network. The original line proceeded north from the current terminus at Corduroy to
Selma, Alabama . That portion of the line was abandoned by the
Seaboard System prior to the merger with CSX in 1986. There was also a L&N branch that went to Camden from a junction just northeast of Corduroy that was abandoned prior to the merger into the Seaboard System in 1982.
The ALAB also owns a couple of miles of the former Manistee & Rapton Railroad west of Monroeton. The remainder of the Manistee & Rapton Railroad is abandoned.
