I live in Prattville and work in Montgomery.
If you aren't already a member, go to
www.alrails.com and join the alrails email list. It covers all things Alabama railroading, and there are several folks from the local area that are members.
ALso, if you use ATCSMon, I run a server for the Montgomery area at atcsmontgomery.dyndns.org, ports 4800 and 4801. It covers the south end of the S&NA South sub and the north end of the M&M sub.
Take care,
Warren
