Many people have followed Grande Man's photo adventures arounf the mines and rails of Birmingham.
I stumbled across a site with the journals of a Seaboard Railroad supervisor recalling his life and times in throughout the Birmingham area. He discusses the relations between the mines and railroads for the developement of mostly the area east of Birmingham. He also relates the story of John henry's race with a steam driver. Lots of local gossip not in the high school history boooks.
