The Mississippi and Schoona Valley Railroad was chartered in 1925 to build a line from Bruce Junction (and a connection with an Illinois Central Railroad (ex-Grenada Railway) line, now abandoned) to Bruce, MS to serve a hardwood mill located there.
The railroad was renamed to the Mississippi and Skuna Valley Railroad, which filed for abandonment of the entire line in 2011. Yalobusha County, Mississippi, has created the Mississippi and Skuna Valley Rail-to-Trail group in order to use the right-of-way for trail use.
