Does anyone know when the Southern's Atlanta-Birmingham line converted to CTC?

I’ve attached two examples from Card Index ("F-Card”) F-13 that Dave mentioned. Virtually all of the F-Cards for Southern railway freight cars and passenger cars (P-Cards) are in the SRHA

All: SRHA member Dave Queener has done some super work organizing, scanning and using material in the archives. His work spans from the wooden car era to organizing the EMD and ALCo drawings and

The new SRHA scanner is in service at the archives. As expected, it does a superb job on our large drawings (linens and blueprints). I’ve uploaded the full size, full resolution scan for drawing

Generally, Southern Railway did not use sub-division or district names. In the employee timetable for the Birmingham Division, it is simply 'Between Austell and Birmingham - Westbound' or 'Between
