Biographical History

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company was a railroad that served the southeastern part of the United States.

From the description of Employee Pass, 1899 March 4. (Filson Historical Society, The). WorldCat record id: 49251564

Chartered in 1850 and also known as the L & N Railroad and Old Reliable. It was a small regional railroad until after the Civil War when it underwent expansion into a major Midwestern and Southern area railroad stretching from Louisville, to Atlanta, to Louisiana and northward to Chicago. The railroad played a major role in the rise of Southern industry. The growth of the steel industry and the development of the eastern Kentucky coal fields were in fact dependent upon the services and financial support of the railroads. Since the 1960s it has undergone a series of mergers until finally becoming part of the CSX Transportation system.

From the description of Records 1829-1981 (University of Louisville). WorldCat record id: 20373833

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad was a major transportation company connecting Louisville with the south.

From the description of Broadside, 1884 May 21. (Filson Historical Society, The). WorldCat record id: 49251406

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Co. (L&N Railroad) was chartered by the Ky. legislature in 1850. The company began operations in Ala. in 1871. It completed its first road in the state from Decatur to Montgomery through Birmingham in 1872. By 1920 the company operated 1,998 miles of tracks in Ala. From 1880 until 1900 the railroad purchased many of the state's smaller companies including the Southern Alabama Railway Co., the New Orleans and Mobile Railroad, the Nashville, Florence, and Sheffield Railroad, and the Alabama Mineral Railroad. The systems of short lines and branches of the L&N formed the core of the most important transportation method in the state during the late nineteenth century.

From the description of Records, 1827-1966. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 145409932
