The Louisville & Nashville Railroad was chartered by the state of Kentucky in 1850 and grew into one of the largest operators in the south with over 6,000 miles of track in 14 states. Unlike many other railroads, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad was fiscally strong throughout its history and earned the nickname "Old Reliable."
