Kentucky & Tennessee Short Lines In Color

Hardcover with dust jacket, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 in., Color photographs with captions.

This title documents "traditional" railroads fewer than 100 miles in length serving the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, focusing not only on little-known steam-powered small lines that operated until the 1950s or 1960s, but also other roads surviving into the diesel era. Declining local economies and increased costs led to the 1980s demise of many of these local conventional short lines.

Featured are the Artemus-Jellico, Brimstone, Cadiz, Carrollton, Chattanooga Traction, Corinth & Counce, East Tennessee & Western, North Carolina, Emory River, Flemingsburg & Northern, Frankfort & Cincinnati, Glasgow, Kentucky & Indiana Terminal, Kentucky & Tennessee, Memphis Union Station, Morehead & North Fork, Oneida & Western, Smoky Mountains, the Tennessee and the Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia!
