This post has a lot of information about the headquarters buildings of L&N. Fortunately, it is a public group so please use the link.
The tall office building is labelled the L&N Building, but the web site given for it by Google is louisvilleky.gov. The freight houses and their tracks are now a parking lot. My kudos to Kentucky State for restoring the office building and giving it a new purpose.

| Tom Bedwell posted This is from a 35mm slide I took in the 1950s in Louisville Union Station. That's the PRR Louisville - Chicago local getting ready to leave for the 300-mile trip north. James McKee Ridgway Jr.: Any chance you can post a real image of your “slide”? This AI stuff is just too strange… [There were quite a few comments about it being AI.] Edward Kwiatkowski shared Kenneth Burris: That looks like one of the passenger sharks. pennsys [is] the only road that had the bigger sharkk. they had A-1-A trucks and a longer body. Keith Pomroy: I never saw a baggage car with that roof detail nor pin-stripe where the letter board would be. Something’s clearly wrong with the photo. James McKee Ridgway Jr.: Keith Pomroy, The AI does some strange stuff with details… Keith Pomroy: James McKee Ridgway Jr. this is alarming. A huge part of the rail fan’s hobby is archival activity. Muddying an historical record rapidly receding from living memory is not acceptable. Peter Jirousek: Would this have taken the Panhandle route into chicago? Alan Buck: Peter Jirousek took the Pennsylvania railroad up through Indianapolis to Logansport, and then the panhandle main the rest of the way to Chicago. Brian Alnutt: Sharks! Competed w/Monon on the route I suppose. Mark Niceley: Those curves on the Monon's South end were fun. It 1847, they went around the hills instead of digging through, to save money. Used to love riding Amtrak's rerouted "Floridian" through there. You won't do it now, unless riding on a Huffy!! |
