The AOE (American Orient Express) rolls East through Alexander City, AL on its Antebellum South Tour on the NS CofGa line. This tour runs from New Orleans to Washington, D.C. and Visa Versa. This tour for 2006 only runs from D.C. to Savannah, GA and back, presumably because of the destruction that Katrina made to the Gulf Coast and the New Orleans area. Maybe the tour will resume normal operations for 2007.
