On date of valuation it owned and operated, wholly within the State of Alabama, 105.748 miles of single-track, standard-gauge, steam railroad in two separate sections, one of which extends from Sheffield to Parrish, 94.876 miles, and the other from Riverton Junction to Riverton, 10.872 miles. It also owns 51.353 miles of yard tracks, sidings, and coalmine spurs. In addition the carrier jointly owns and uses with other carriers 0.745 mile of yard tracks and sidings. The property was acquired by purchase.

The immediate predecessor of the carrier, from which it acquired all of its property, was the Birmingham, Sheffield and Tennessee River Railway Company, which was incorporated February 26, 1889. The property of this company, as related in the text, after foreclosure sale, was conveyed to the purchasers on November 29, 1895, who, on the same date, conveyed the property to the carrier. The Birmingham, Sheffield and Tennessee River Railway Company was preceded by the Sheffield & Birmingham Coal, Iron & Railway Company, incorporated on February 28, 1887, in order to effect a consolidation of the Sheffield and Birmingham Railway[sic] Company and the Alabama & Tennessee Coal & Iron Company, incorporated, respectively, on March 28, 1884, and May 23, 1882. Of the last two companies, the first named was incorporated under the name of The Birmingham & Tennessee River Railroad Company, its name being subsequently changed to Sheffield and Birmingham Railroad Company.
