Seaboard System was the result of the January, 1983 consolidation of The Family Lines into one railroad. The family tree looks like this: Prior to 1967, Atlantic Coast Line controlled Louisville & Nashville who together jointly operated the Clinchfield and jointly controlled the Georgia Railroad who in turn controlled Atlanta & West Point and Western Railway of Alabama. In 1967, ACL merged with Seaboard Air Line to become Seaboard Coast Line. In 1974, The Family Lines image was adopted on many freight cars for all of the above railroads. The railroads remained separate and The Family Lines was simply a joint marketing image. Then on January 1, of 1983 all of the Family Lines roads were actually merged into Seaboard Coast Line who then changed their name to “Seaboard System.”This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers.
