West Point. Of course at various stages or times it reached different points as it was being constructed to Atlanta. It was subsequently merged with the West Point Rail Road which was still in the direction of Atlanta, and Mr. Pollard became President of the merged company known as the Montgomery and West Point Railroad Company. He served in this capacity from February 13, 1834, to September 1, 1870. Later these properties became associated with the Western Railroad of Alabama. Mr. Pollard became President of that Corporation on September 28, 1860, and served in that capacity until April 1, 1874. As you of course know these properties went into bankruptcy and a receiver was appointed, and the receiver operated the properties. Mr. Pollard served as receiver of the Western Railroad of Alabama from April 1, 1874, until May 31, 1875, at which time it was reorganized.

These properties, both the Montgomery and West Point Railroad Company and the Western Railroad of Alabama are now operated jointly with the Georgia Railroad as one railroad. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company jointly own these properties but they are operated as a separate railroad with headquarters in Atlanta.

If you desire any further information concerning these properties please let me know.

With kindest regards and best wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Prime F. Osborn
