INTRODUCTION
Most every state can lay claim to one or two railroads that have been historically indigenous to the social and economic background of the areas. Kentucky has its Louisville 8 Nashville. Indiana claims the Monon as its own.
Two Tennessee railroads must share such honors-the pioneer Nashville ES Chattanooga, later to become the Nashville, Chattanooga ES St. Louis: and the lamented Tennessee Central.
