The railroad was completed in 1861 just in time for the Civil War. L\u0026amp;N, unlike most southern lines, thanks to providing transportation for the Federal Army during the Civil War, survived the war with money available for expansion. Thus L\u0026amp;N acquired a number of southern railroads that would provide the L\u0026amp;N with track extending south from Louisville to Pensacola, Florida; Mobile, Alabama; and New Orleans, Louisiana. L\u0026amp;N's Kentucky track was served by fifteen yards: Madisonville, Owensboro (Doyle), Bowling Green, Skilman, Louisville (Strawberry), Latonia, DeCoursey, Paris, Lexington, Winchester (Patio), Corbin, Ravenna, Hazard (Crawford), Loyall, and Harlan. Within the following pages we will journey over the L\u0026amp;N in Kentucky via postcards, but our journey routes will not always follow direct L\u0026amp;N train routing.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50334292508946,"sku":"9781387727803","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_220be34d-d221-44e8-a5a7-89a2c520372b.jpg?v=1727887662","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-l-n-railroad-in-kentucky-as-seen-through-postcards","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
