      It was Airline…the Seaboard Airline Railroad. The old SAL along with another line with extensive south GA roots, the Atlantic Coast Line, is now part of the CSX system. There were once several railroads with the name “Airline”. The old Atlanta and Richmond Airline RR was a major part of what became the Southern Railway. The Southern itself merged with the Norfolk and Western to become Norfolk Southern.
