Alcorn County lies at the crossroads of two major rail lines — the Norfolk Southern and Kansas City Southern — and is the terminus of a third, Redmont Railway, connecting Corinth with Red Bay, Alabama.  Businesses and industries are well served by these lines and the convenience of a marshalling yard located in Corinth.
