[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] Bill: as a born Tennessean with relatives all over the state, and a long gone before my time relative that worked for the NC&StL out of Decherd, I thought I knew a lot about the old NC, but I had never before heard of the Dixiana. David: Railroads sometimes do re-milepost lines to the consternation and confusion of the engineering and maintenance people from that point on. In fact, L&N did re-milepost their main south of Calera Alabama and all branches out of the Birmingham area due to the massive line straightening between Nashville, birmingham and Calera AL that occurred in the 1910 to 1914 era. The Valuation maps showed both. A much more modern day re-mileposting was done by ICRR on the line between Jackson MS and Mobile AL Simply put, the ex GM&N mileposting out of Mobile was continued northwest from Beaumont MS on the ex B&HS to Hattiesburg and then the ex G&SI to Jackson. I think this actually reversed the direction of mileposting on the B&HS. [/QB][/QUOTE]
