The primary one is the [[CSX]] [[Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad|P&A Subdivision]], a line formerly owned by the [[Louisville and Nashville Railroad]] that served [[Amtrak]]'s [[Sunset Limited]]. This service formerly went to [[New Orleans]], but in 2005 service was truncated by the extensive damage in the Gulf area due to [[Hurricane Katrina]]. Another is the [[Bay Line Railroad]]: originally the [[Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railway]] main line, this railway runs from Panama City through Campbellton. US 231 was constructed parallel to the railroad. The lines have a junction in [[Cottondale, Florida|Cottondale]]. Other lines within the county were abandoned after restructuring of the railroad industry in the mid to late 20th century. Passenger traffic declined after affordable automobiles became widely available.
