Kevin Comer traces the Louisville and Nashville Railroad’s route through south central Kentucky, from its 1850 charter through the obstacles of Muldraugh’s Hill and the Green River to its Civil War-era role as a prize fought over by both armies.
Vintage photographs cover the L&N Main Line, the Memphis Line, the Mammoth Cave Railroad, the Glasgow Railway, and the Portage Railroad, tracing how a regional line grew into a nearly 7,000-mile Southeastern network.
