 The Alabama end of the line began at Pell City, where it connected with what became the Southern Railway , and the narrow gauge Talladega and Cousa Valley Railroad.The line then passed through Broken Arrow, Alabama (which was officially renamed to Coal City around 1883 and then to Wattsville in 1929), and headed east-northeast toward the Georgia state line.Just over it, the E&W passed through Esom Hill, then Cedartown, where it connected with the Rome and Carrollton Railroad.
