It is used for about 8% of passenger and rail freight transport, freight transport globally, thanks to its Energy efficiency in transport, energy efficiency and potentially high-speed rail, high speed.Rolling stock on rails generally encounters lower friction, frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, allowing rail cars to be coupled into longer trains. Power is usually provided by Diesel locomotive, diesel or Electric locomotive, electric locomotives.

South Central Tennessee Railroad
The South Central Tennessee Railroad is a shortline railroad in Tennessee founded in 1978. It operates on a single line between the community of Colesburg near Dickson, Tennessee and Hohenwald. The railroad operates entirely on trackage owned by the publicly-owned South Central Tennessee Railroad Authority and is a division of the West Tennessee Railroad. History The railroad was constructed as the Centerville Branch of the Louisville and Nashville (L&N) railroad. The service largely focused on freight, including finished goods, farm products, phosphate, iron ore, and timber products. In its early years, the line also was served by a Monday through Saturday daily round trip passenger train. By the 1970s, the line had deteriorated substantially. Only two trains per week ran the route, and it was in such poor condition that derailments were not uncommon. In 1977, the L&N received permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to abandon the line, with a scheduled closure dat ...

Tennessee, Alabama And Georgia Railway
The Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia Railroad was created through a reorganization of the Chattanooga Southern Railway in 1911. A few years later, in 1922, the line's name was changed to the Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia Railway and was also known as the ''TAG Route''. The TAG ran from Chattanooga, Tennessee, through northwest Georgia, and into Gadsden, Alabama. The trackage began at Milepost 1 in Alton Park (Chattanooga) and continued southwest to the southern terminus in Gadsden, some distant. In 1952, the railroad retired its last steam locomotive. During the 1960s the railroad was owned by Mose and Garrison Siskin who owned the SiskiSteel Company in Chattanooga They used the railroad to move steel products between Siskin Steel and Republic Steel in Gadsden. This made the TAG the only profitable short line railroad in the US during that period. The TAG was purchased by the Southern Railway in 1971. The northernmost ending at Kensington, Georgia were operated by the Chat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tennessee Railway
The Tennessee Railroad was a short line standard gauge (4 ft 8in) common carrier railroad running from Oneida, Tennessee to Fork Mountain, Tennessee. Reorganized in 1973 by the Southern Railway as the Tennessee Railway, it remains a subsidiary of Norfolk Southern. Sold at foreclosure on Valentine’s Day in 1918, the Tennessee Railway never was a financial powerhouse. In 1957, the railroad retired its last steam locomotive. In 1959, the first petition for abandonment was filed, but the coal business picked up and it was withdrawn. In 1973, with the railroad in receivership, the line became part of the Southern Railway. In the years following, Southern upgraded the line with new ties and rail, daylighted the tunnel near Oneida, and streamlined operations to make the line an important feeder for coal traffic. As environmental regulations became stricter, and large low-sulfur coal reserves were discovered in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, coal mining operations in th ...

Cincinnati, New Orleans And Texas Pacific Railway
The Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway (abbreviated: CNO&TP; ) is a railroad that owns the Cincinnati Southern Railway from Cincinnati, Ohio, south to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and leases it to the Norfolk Southern Railway system. The physical assets of the road were initially financed by the city of Cincinnati in the 1870s, and until March 2024 had been owned by the city. It had been the only such long-distance railway owned by a municipality in the United States. The CNO&TP now owns that property and operates one rail line, the Cincinnati Southern Railway, between Cincinnati and Chattanooga. History The line opened completely in 1880, and was financed by the city of Cincinnati. Construction was spurred by a shift of Ohio River shipping, important to the local economy. Fearing the loss of shipping traffic and the local salaries and tax revenue that came with it, the city recognized the need to remain competitive. The Ohio Constitution forbade cities from form ...

Central Of Georgia Railroad
The Central of Georgia Railway started as the Central Rail Road and Canal Company in 1833. As a way to better attract investment capital, the railroad changed its name to Central Rail Road and Banking Company of Georgia. This railroad was constructed to join the Macon and Western Railroad at Macon, Georgia, in the United States, and run to Savannah. This created a rail link from Chattanooga, on the Tennessee River, to seaports on the Atlantic Ocean. It took from 1837 to 1843 to build the railroad from Savannah to the eastern bank of the Ocmulgee River at Macon; a bridge into the city was not built until 1851. The company was purchased by the Southern Railway in 1963, and subsequently became part of Norfolk Southern Railway in 1982. Despite the similarity between the names, neither the Georgia Central Railway or Georgia Railroad have ties with the Central of Georgia Railway. Acquisitions Over the years, this railroad steadily acquired other railroads by either lease or pur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
