👍 I grew up on the L&N in eastern Kentucky and had family that worked at the old DeCoursey Yard.
My great grandfather Charlie Moore & his son, my great uncle James Moore both drove for the L&N. My great grandfather retired in the 1930s ! My uncle Jim, 1970s, both out of Evansville at the Howell yard👍🏻
Nice plug for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Historical Society. I don't know how long the L&NHIS has been in existence but the Chicago & North Western Historical Society was founded in 1973. Anyone interested in the Chicago & North Western Historical Society or any of the railroad that CNW acquired can check out www.cnwhs.org for more information.
My father worked for the L&N. He was a official for almost 20 years. I was born in Louisville in 1960. I have so many memories as a kid of going to general office buildings on weekends sometimes with my dad.
i live in louisville and i see the l&n coaches all the time I wish I could've seen a steamer around here
Who is the person with no soul that gave this video a thumbs down? What a maroon!
Great job, been a member off and on since the 90's.
dixieflyer500 Haters ‘gonna hate. Thanks so much for your kind remarks! I really appreciate it. L&NHS is such a great organization!
Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Very impressive and informative. Thank you everyone for your time 😀
Great job Drayton.
Many men in my family tree laid ties for this railroad. They were so proud to work for L&N.
Five generations of my family worked on the L&N. I wish my father had followed in steps of our family. Perhaps I could have worked on the RR.

Man you sure do put together some cool stuff. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for this
Brantley Hester Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for watching!
Superb job, man. I’d never heard of the L&NHS before this, so I have a feeling this video will do some good for the society.
Need address again
Although I don’t know him personally, Mr. Flanary is hands down my favorite railroad historian he’s always had great photos of steam power(not just l&n) and he just seems like the nicest guy.
Excellent Video. 🇮🇳
Taslim Chaudhry Thanks for watching!
A Big Emma is a newbuild I can get behind.
And use one of the original tenders! since there are 2 big emma tenders left!
@@raymondleggs5508 really?
@@CoalChrome yes they are at Kentucky rail museum in the fleet of cars and locos they have just sitting, they even have a small 2 foot gauge tank loco in pieces.
Great job! As someone is fond of saying, these old predecessor roads are history worth remembering. When I was a tyke, my grandfather was an REA agent on the Rock Island. I grew up meeting the train with him every afternoon, EVERY afternoon. Thus my affliction for railroads.
In this part of the world back then, there was the Rock, the Frisco, The Missouri Pacific and the KCS. The Rock died a hard death, most of the tracks now bike trails. Frisco became an integral part of BNSF, MoPac was absorbed by UP. But KCS is still a class 1 all by itself, it does not get much attention. The only class 1 to have never merged or sold anything.
Aged like milk...
Also not for nothing, CP and UP are both the original operating entities that built their respective transcontinental railways.
You omitted to mention, that the L&N went defunct, back in 1982. There's a song about the L&N, on Johnny Cash's, 'Silver' album, released in 1979. It's the very first track (pun intended there, somewhere😉).
I loved this! Very nice work, Drayton.
My grandfather worked for the Louisville and Nashville RR.
Thank you.
Thank you !
Nice video. Both my grandfather and uncle were employees of the L&N. Grandfather dispatched from Etowah, TN to Corbin, KY. My uncle dispatched from Etowah, TN to Atlanta. Somewhere are photos of me at age 8 on a locomotive in the Etowah, maintenance yard. (That was 1971).
Great video, very interesting and educational. Thank you for putting this together!
J H Thanks so much for watching!
I have a few diesel builder plates from l&n , but one of my prized possession is paper... An l&n section man track workers anual passes of 1 worker from the 20's-50's with his retiree pass from the 1960s
I grew up on the line from Lebanon Junction to Stanford Ky my memory is from Lebanon Ky and St Mary's Kentucky it ran behind my parents house
Thank you. You answered my questions by accident.
Very well put together video, as always.
I have come to admire the L&N RR even though I model the Northern Pacific. I'd like to add a couple freight cars from this impressive road.
I found one of the hand forged L&N railroad spikes
The railroad spike is 5 inches long
My Great-grandfather worked on this RR in it’s conception.
This railroad is right behind my house
I have an old L&N railroad spike that’s from Boston Kentucky and the Kentucky railway museum gave it to me I was on the train when I asked for the railroad spike
great vid. great research
By 1969, The Evansville/Atlanta, "Georgian" had been downgraded to just a numbered train - no longer carried a train name.
Questions: When did the last numbered passenger train (formerly called The Georgian) leave Atlanta Union Station on its northbound run?
#2: what was the motive power, how many cars and passengers did it carry on its final run?
3:55 HEY its 152 my favorite locomotive
Be neat if they could build a model layout of Henderson, KY from the 1950s or 1960s.
I found one of the original Louisville and Nashville railroad spike from the 1850s yesterday
Really? How fascinating

Sehr gut
Is the Louisville & Nashville Historical Society still in operation. I have not seen a magazine since 2012?
would 1992 be steamed again for the L&N.
does anybody know what song that is that's used in the beginning
Looking for the book shown in the video “ the history of the L&N railroad. I think my father was named after James Ripley Guthrie. Raised in Pairs TN.
The models look huge for HO scale. They use lots of human figures. I thought is might be S scale. I looked up the models on the L & N Railroad Historical Society and their main railroad scale was HO unless mentioned otherwise and there was no S or O scale mentioned, so my guess is they use a lot of HO scale human figures and the layout photograph BIG.
Thanks for the video! We live up near Portland, TN and have the old L&N main line that runs through town.
Question - Do you by chance subscribe to Shawn James' "Self Reliance" channel? Because he uses the same music to intro his videos. We had just finished watching one of his videos and then started watching this one and I had to do a double-check that I clicked on the right video! :-)
I found another l&n railroad spike
i would like to gett the 1863 muldraug hill plot map at one time i had one, can i get a copy of one
