On August 5, 1913, its charter was amended changing its name to the Oneida & Western Railroad Company and authorizing the construction of a railroad from Oneida, Tenn., to Albany, Ky., instead of between the points mentioned in the original charter as shown above. The date of organization of the carrier was November 4, 1912.
