  Historical Sketches
The Western Railway of Alabama had its origins in the Montgomery Rail Road, which was chartered on January 15, 1834, for the purpose of constructing a railroad from Montgomery, on the Alabama River, to West Point, Georgia, on the Chattahoochee River.
The road was sold under foreclosure on July 9, 1842, and reorganized as the Montgomery and West Point Rail Road on February 13, 1843.
At West Point, connection was made with the Atlanta and LaGrange Rail Road (later renamed the Atlanta and West Point Rail Road), an affiliate of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company.

 Alabama Point
When waves are approaching the Alabama coast from the southwest and the longshore sand transport is to the east, sand is free to move off the beaches of western Orange Beach into this area.
However, when waves are approaching the Alabama coast from the southeast and the longshore sand transport is to the west, the sand in this area is partially sheltered by both the rock jetty itself and the shoals around the mouth of Perdido Pass.
These problems are standing water on an unnaturally wide beach, unnaturally high scarps (vertical cliffs) on the beach face that are unsafe for humans and prevent successful sea turtle nesting, and complaints from tourists about the very long walk to the beach.
