- Line south from Mobile Junction was the Brierfield, Blockton [sic] and Birmingham Railway, which became Southern and now NS; Southern had (and presumably NS has) trackage rights to Birmingham
- Lines north from Birmingham and both directions from Woodlawn were the Georgia Pacific Railway, which became Southern and now NS; Southern had (and presumably NS has) trackage rights from Birmingham to Woodlawn; east from Woodlawn may have been joint with the Columbus and Western Railroad → Central of Georgia Railway

Former branches
- Gadsden and Attalla Railroad: Attalla to Gadsden, AGS-owned from 1892 to 1905, but sold to Southern in 1905, retaining AGS trackage rights - this may still be part of NS ([3])
- Woodstock and Blocton Railway: Woodstock to Blocton, AGS bought half interest from L&N in 1909; still jointly owned by CSX and NS, but appears to be abandoned or at least cut back; if the latter only NS still has access
