Description
by Terry L. Coats (Author), H. C. Hill (Photographer), Robert Bell (Photographer)
The history of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway spanned 112 years. Its infancy sprang from an era when railroading replaced foot, horseback, the wagon, and the flatboat as the primary means of transporting goods. Its demise ushered in the era of Sputnik and the first space explorations.
There was an allure to the depots of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway. A station on the NC&St.L was a busy, noisy, and fascinating place. People and trains would come and go as baggage, mail, and freight moved back-and-forth between platforms and trains. Travelers hurried to make their way to their departing trains or to make connections between trains on which they had just arrived and those going on to farther destinations.
- Over 325 pages; 600+ photographs, illustration, and drawings
