The Tennessee Central Railway was founded in 1884 as the Nashville and Knoxville Railroad by Alexander S. Crawford. It was an attempt to open up a rail route from the coal and minerals of East Tennessee to the markets of the midstate, a service which many businessmen felt was not being adequately provided by the existing railroad companies. They also wanted to ship coal and iron ore to the Northeastern US over the Cincinnati Southern Railway, which was leased to the Southern and operated as the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway (CNOTP), through their Cincinnati gateway. The N&K was only completed between Lebanon, where it connected to a Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway branch from Nashville, and Standing Stone (now Monterey).

  • Le Tennessee Central Railway (sigle de l'AAR: TC) était un chemin de fer américain de classe I spécialisé dans le transport de matières premières au Tennessee. Durant toute son existence il fut aux prises avec des difficultés financières car il apparut tardivement et ses concurrents avaient déjà atteint leurs maturité. Le réseau d'une longueur de 399 km, reliait Harriman, Tennessee, à Hopkinsville, Kentucky, à l'ouest en passant par Nashville. (fr)
