Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis RailwayHistory and Steam
Locomotives Richard E. PrinceRichard E. Prince's long out-of-print
encyclopedic study of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis
Railway, The Dixie Line, with hundreds of vintage photographs,
schematics, maps, and rosters. Railroad buffs, historians, and
casual readers alike will be delighted by the reappearance of
Richard E. Prince's Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway. It
was originally published in 1967, and its reputation as the
foremost work on this railroad is still unchallenged. The
NC&StL Railway originated in 1845 as the Nashville and
Chattanooga RR. Taken over by the Union Army during the Civil War,
it suffered extensive damage from Confederate attack but was
rebuilt and operated by the U.S. Military Railroad for over two
years. Returned to its owners in September 1865, it became the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Ry. in 1873, after absorbing the
Nashville & Northwestern RR. During the next 25 years, it became
known to the public first as the Tennessee Line, then as the
Lookout Mountain Route. In 1890 it gained entrance into Atlanta as
lessee of the state-owned Western & Atlantic RR. Paducah and
Memphis were reached in 1896, when lines of the former Paducah,
Tennessee & Alabama RR were leased from L&N. At its zenith in
the 1920s, it operated approximately 1,259 miles of track, from the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers through Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Alabama, to Atlanta, Georgia. In 1880, to eliminate the threat of
competition that was developing between the two companies, the
Louisville & Nashville RR acquired control of the NC&StL Ry.,
much to the dismay of the citizens of Nashville, and for the next
77 years it operated as a prosperous subsidiary of the Old
Reliable. It was actually absorbed by the L&N organization in
1957 to become part of the Nashville and W&A divisions. But it
will always be remembered by the people of Tennessee and
