Kentucky & Tennessee Shortlines in Color -- Hardcover, 128 Pages

Kentucky & Tennessee Shortlines in Color from Morning Sun Books is a treasure trove of large color images of rarely photographed railroads. This book features traditional railroads with fewer than 100 miles of track serving Kentucky and Tennessee, focusing not only on little-known steam-powered small lines that operated until the 1950s or 1960s, but also other roads surviving into the diesel era. Declining local economies and increased costs led to the 1980s demise of many of these local conventional shortlines. Featuring Artemus-Jellico, Brimstone, Cadiz, Carrollton, Chattanooga Traction, Corinth & Counce, East Tennessee & Western North Carolina (Tweetsie), Emory River, Flemingsburg & Northern, Frankfort & Cincinnati, Glasgow, Kentucky & Indiana Terminal, Kentucky & Tennessee, Memphis Union Station, Morehead & North Fork, Oneida & Western, Smoky Mountains, Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia (TAG Route), and Tennessee. Kentucky & Tennessee Shortlines in Color is one of many Morning Sun books that include shortlines and regional railroads. Hardcover, 128 pages.
