Anyone know of the railroad referred to below?

Gen. Polk
Demopolis

"both General Johnston and myself agree that a change of boundary should be made. The Tennessee River is the natural boundary on the north of that part of this department lying in Alabama. The strip of country between the river and the present boundary extends too far west for General Johnston’s supervision, and shuts me off from my proper barrier on the north. The proposition on which we united (see application sent up through General Pillow) was to turn from the Alabama and Georgia line down the Coosa to the point where the Jacksonville and Guntersville Railroad crossed that stream, thence along that road to Guntersville at the bend of Tennessee River. I now suggest the southern boundary of Cherokee County from the Alabama line to Gadsden, thence along the railroad to Guntersville. It is important that action on this subject should be had without delay" .
