L&N to Corbin, Kentucky

L&N to Corbin, Kentucky

The former Louisville and Nashville RR mainline from Cincinnati to Corbin, Kentucky was constructed in the late 1850's by the Kentucky Central Railroad. Playing a significant role in supplying and moving troops during the Civil War, it later became an important coal route for the L&N. Today, the line sees substantial traffic, although coal has become less important a commodity on the line north of Winchester, replaced with general merchandise, automotive, and intermodal. Today the line is known a the CC Subdivision of the CSX Huntington West Division.
