The Alabama & Mississippi Railroad was incorporated by the owners of the Vinegar Bend Lumber Co. on March 10, 1902, and leased the mainline of the Vinegar Bend Lumber Co. running southwest from Vinegar Bend, Alabama. This line was extended to Leakesville, Miss., county seat of Greene Co. later that year. On July 1, 1915, the A&M leased the Pascagoula, Moss Point & Northern Railroad running north from Pascagoula to Evanston, a distance of 42 miles. The gap between Leakesville and Evanston was completed just in time for the July 1916 hurricane.  Beginning in 1916 the railroad operated at a loss and on September 7, 1920 filed a petition with the I. C. C. for abandonment of the complete line. In March 1921, before the case was heard, the U. S. District Court appointed R. V. Taylor as receiver for the railroad. On June 28, 1921, the entire line was ordered sold by the Federal Court. The northern portion from Vinegar Bend to Leakesville was leased to the Mississippi & Alabama Railroad in October 1922 and the southern portion from Pascagoula to Evanston was sold to the Mississippi Export Railroad on April 17, 1923. The central portion from Leakesville to Evanston was abandoned.
