I don't know for sure but I assume the RR company (and therefore possibly the gauge also) changed at the State line. Hence, the Atlanta and West Point Railroad AND the Montgomery and West Point Railroad. No, I don't think this is a trivial point. The non-standardization of gauge in the South was a severe hindrance to RR efficiency and therefore the overall war effort.
