GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate a remarkable route through Tennessee with this Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt. Building the 150-mile line between Nashville and Chattanooga took nine years, and Cowan Tunnel became a defining feat along the way. From its early beginnings to the Dixie Line era and its eventual place in a wider rail network, the railway left a lasting mark on regional travel. A considered choice for railway collectors and history enthusiasts.
The Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad was chartered in Nashville on December 11, 1845, and organized in 1848. Its first locomotive arrived in 1850, and the first train ran to Antioch the following spring. After nine years of construction across difficult terrain, the 150-mile line between Nashville and Chattanooga was completed; Cowan Tunnel was a notable engineering feature. The railway served Tennessee and extended into Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia. During the Civil War, its tracks and bridges were repeatedly damaged and repaired. The company acquired several connecting railroads after the war and was reincorporated as the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway in 1873, although its tracks did not reach St. Louis. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad gained control in 1880, while the two companies continued to operate separately until their 1957 merger. The railway ended steam operations in 1953. Its successor corporate history continued through the Seaboard System, renamed CSX Transportation in 1986. CSX continues to use the original route between Nashville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta; other sections, including the route to Hickman, were abandoned.
