The Louisville and Nashville Railroad (reporting mark LN), commonly called the L&N, was a Class I railroad that operated freight and passenger services in the southeast United States. Chartered by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1850, the road grew into one of the great success stories of American business. Operating under one name continuously for 132 years, it survived civil war and economic depression and several waves of social and technological change. Under Milton H. Smith, president of the company for 30 years, the L&N grew from a road with less than three hundred miles (480 km) of track to a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system serving fourteen states. As one of the premier Southern railroads, the L&N extended its reach far beyond its namesake cities, stretching to St. Louis, Memphis, Atla

dbo:abstract
  • Louisville and Nashville Railroad byla železnice třídy I (klasifikace železnic v USA) provozující nákladní i osobní dopravu na jihovýchodě Spojených států. Společnost byla založena roku 1850 státem Kentucky a v průběhu let se stala jedním ze symbolů rozkvětu amerického podnikání. Za 132 let své existence nezměnila jméno, přečkalaobčanskou válku, hospodářskou krizi ve 20. letech i další otřesy způsobené sociálními změnami a vývojem techniky. Pod vedením, který stál v čele společnosti v letech 1891–1921, se rozsah její sítě zvětšil z necelých 300 mil kolejí na 6000 mil v třinácti státech. Zdaleka tak přesáhla oblast vymezenou dvěma městy v jejím názvu a její tratě dosáhly až do St. Louis, Memphisu, Atlanty a New Orleans. Po celou dobu existence se jednalo o ekonomicky stabilní společnost provozující osobní i nákladní dopravu způsobem, kterým si vysloužila přezdívku "The Old Reliable (Stará spolehlivá)." (cs)
  • Die Louisville and Nashville Railroad (LN, L&N) war eine Class-I-Bahngesellschaft in den Vereinigten Staaten mit Sitz in Louisville (Kentucky). Sie wurde 1850 in Kentucky gegründet und betrieb ein umfangreiches Eisenbahnnetz in Kentucky, Tennessee und Alabama und erreichte auch die umliegenden Bundesstaaten mit einzelnen Strecken. Die wichtigsten Hauptstrecken verliefen von Cincinnati über Louisville, Nashville und Birmingham nach New Orleans, von Cincinnati über Knoxville nach Atlanta, von St. Louis und Chicago über Nashville nach Atlanta sowie von Nashville nach Memphis. 1982 fusionierte die L&N mit der Seaboard Coast Line Railroad zur Seaboard System Railroad, die ihrerseits später in der CSX Transportation aufging.

  • La compagnie de chemin de fer Louisville and Nashville Railroad ou L&N était une compagnie ferroviaire qui opéra en tant que transporteur de marchandises et de passagers dans le sud-est des États-Unis entre 1850 et 1982 lorsqu'elle fusionne avec le Seaboard Air Line Railroad pour créer le Seaboard System Railroad. Officialisée par l'État du Kentucky en 1850, la compagnie était une des plus anciennes compagnies des États-Unis. Elle avait survécu à la guerre de Sécession, à la crise financière de 1929 et à différentes évolutions technologiques et sociales. Il s'agissait de la première compagnie ferroviaire à s'étendre dans le sud du pays et disposait d'un réseau de plus de 11 250 km. (fr)

As one of the premier Southern railroads, the L&N extended its reach far beyond its namesake cities, stretching to St. Louis, Memphis, Atlanta, and New Orleans. The railroad was economically strong throughout its lifetime, operating freight and passenger trains in a manner that earned it the nickname, "The Old Reliable." Growth of the railroad continued until its purchase and the tumultuous rail consolidations of the 1980s which led to continual successors. By the end of 1970, L&N operated 6,063 miles (9,757 km) of road on 10,051 miles (16,176 km) of track, not including the Carrollton Railroad. In 1971 the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, successor to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, purchased the remainder of the L&N shares it did not already own, and the company became a subsidiary. By 1982 the railroad industry was consolidating quickly, and the Seaboard Coast Line absorbed the Louisville & Nashville Railroad entirely. Then in 1986, the Seaboard System merged with the C&O and B&O (known as the Chessie System) and the combined company became CSX Transportation (CSX), which now owns and operates all of the former Louisville and Nashville lines.

  • La Louisville and Nashville Railroad (segnaletica LN), comunemente chiamata L&N, era una ferrovia di classe I che gestiva servizi di trasporto merci e passeggeri nel sud-est degli Stati Uniti d'America. Istituita dal Commonwealth del Kentucky nel 1850, il percorso divenne una delle grandi storie di successo degli affari americani. Operando sotto un unico nome ininterrottamente per 132 anni, sopravvisse alla guerra civile, alla depressione economica e a diverse ondate di cambiamenti sociali e tecnologici. Sotto la guida di , presidente dell'azienda da trent'anni, la L&N crebbe da un percorso con meno di trecento miglia (480 km) di binari a un sistema di 6.000 miglia (9.700 km) che serviva quattordici stati. Essendo una delle principali ferrovie del Sud, la L&N estese la sua portata ben oltre le sue città omonime, estendendosi a St. Louis, Memphis, Atlanta e New Orleans. La ferrovia era economicamente forte per tutta la sua durata, operando sia treni merci che treni passeggeri in un modo che gli è valso il soprannome "il vecchio affidabile" (The Old Reliable). La crescita della ferrovia continuò fino al suo acquisto e ai tumultuosi consolidamenti ferroviari degli anni 1980 che portarono a continui successori. Alla fine del 1970, la L&N operava 6.063 miglia (9.757 km) di percorso su 10.051 miglia (16.176 km) di binari, esclusa la Carrollton Railroad. Nel 1971 la , successore della , acquistò il resto delle azioni della L&N che non possedeva già e la società divenne una sussidiaria. Nel 1982 l'industria ferroviaria si stava consolidando rapidamente e la Seaboard Coast Line assorbì interamente la Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Poi, nel 1986, il Seaboard System si fuse con la C&O e la B&O e il nuovo sistema unito era noto come Chessie System. Subito dopo la compagnia unita divenne CSX Transportation (CSX), che ora possiede e gestisce tutte le precedenti linee della Louisville and Nashville. (it)
