Over the years, forests gave way to farms, and the A & R changed as well, becoming a vital agricultural link to the outside world. It brought in fertilizers, grain, seed and farm equipment and took cotton, tobacco, grain, watermelons and peaches to market.
Today, the A & R continues to adapt to changing times. It provides quality, responsive rail service at competitive rates to the growing number of Fortune 500 manufacturing companies attracted to the region because of its highly favorable business climate.
While many things have changed for the A & R over the past 100 years, two things have been constant. The A & R continues to be owned and operated by the Blue family, and their emphasis remains on first class personal service.
