L&N Old Reliable: General's Ribbon VHS

[@jonfromstearns]

I love it that “My Old Kentucky Home” was played at the intro. At least they got that right. Cumberland Falls is actually in McCreary County, which is Southern Railway (now Norfolk Southern) territory. It has a Whitley County address. The old L&N freight and passenger depot in downtown Williamsburg still stands. CSX doesn’t run very many trains through the area any longer.

"CSX doesn’t run very many trains through the area any longer." I know CSX lost traffic on the CV and EK Subs from mines closing. But you mentioned WIlliamsburg, that's on the CC Sub. So traffic on that line has fallen, too?

Whoa! Where did you get this? I know there have been L&N tribute videos, I'm thinking mainly the one released by Herron Rail, but I have not known of this. Nice! Thanks for putting this up!

An engineer I used to work with had a bunch of old VHS that I digitized for him. This was one of them.

​@nearzine I really enjoyed watching this! Great job 😎 I grew up living close to the L&N RR and my Grandmother lived close in Franklin Tennessee. Thankfully the Williamson County Historical Society partnered with L&N and saved the Workers House on 3rd Avenue in Franklin. Thanks again for this video!

what a nice video... this was when travel by rail was really the only option... but oh what a NICE option

7:38 That's the Henderson Bridge over the ohio river between Evansville, IN and Henderson, KY. 2.3 miles long because of the floodplains it runs over.

R.I.P. to the old reliable L&N, from steam to diesel, many thanks to a railroad that made it in the history books, just like all the others.😌👏👏👏👍👍✌️
