	Louisville and Nashville Railroad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Louisville and Nashville Railroad (AAR reporting mark LN) was a Class I railroad that operated freight and passenger services in the southeast United States.
		Railroads were much interested in coal, of course, as all locomotives were steam-powered, and wood-burning models had been found to be unsatisfactory.
		By 1982, the rail industry was consolidating fast, and Seaboard System Railroad, successor to Seaboard Coast Line, absorbed the Louisville and Nashville entirely and withdrew its name from the market at the end of that year.
