Atmore is the state's official Rail Welcome Center and is known as
Alabama's Whistle Stop.  Rail service, to both major ports of Pensacola, Florida
and Mobile, Alabama is provided by CSX and Alabama Gulf
Coast Railway. Hope you make a stop in Atmore soon.

October 24th, that's the date to be in Atmore, Alabama as residents turn back their clocks to 1866 when their community was named Williams Station - just a supply stop along the Mobile & Great Northern railroad.  It was a simpler time, when life revolved around the railroads and folks marked time by the sound of the steam engines chugging through town or the whistle of the local lumber mill. We hope you'll join us in Atmore for this regional festival that promises a fun day of family entertainment.   An easy one hour drive from Mobile, Pensacola and Baldwin County, Williams Station Day is packed with great venues to fit every taste.  For the young and young at heart we offer an old fashioned sampling of southern heritage seasoned with the blues, arts and crafts, cane milling and railroad memorabilia.
