Remarks & Notes 
In 1973, you rarely had to wait long to see railroad action in Opelika. There were lots of local rail customers, Southern and Western Railway of Alabama interchanged daily, and a Southern branch to Roanoke had service six days a week. Today, virtually all of that is gone, and most trains just zip through town, only slowing if they get stabbed at the CSX/NS crossing-at-grade.
