| Jim Pearson Photography posted Southbound Intermodal at Nashville, Tennessee CSX Q025-20 approaches Kayne Avenue, as it passes the old L&N Depot in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on its way south on the Nashville Terminal Subdivision on January 20th, 2021. Tech Info: Nikon D800, RAW, Sigma 24-70 @70mm f/4, 1/1250, ISO 400. Had a biz trip there once. Sat in my car waiting for some traffic to flow by to take pictures reading a newspaper. I could see the homeless in the train shed move about. A CSX employee comes by and tells me to get off the property, I complied. I returned to NY and read how the train shed was burned down. Just maybe that employee should have paid more attention to the train shed activity. The old train station in the background is a boutique hotel now...absolutely gorgeous inside!! Colleen Hayden Yep, I've stayed the night there before.Jim Pearson Photography Thanks for including the former depot in the shot. It is always nice to learn of another depot that has been preserved. Any interior shots from your stay? |

| Ron Flanary posted From the L&N Railroad Historical Society archives: This is an early '60s image of a southbound solid automobile rack train passing Nashville Union Station. Could you imagine carrying new autos in the open like this today? By the time they reached their destination, nothing would be left but the frames and owner's manuals. Bob Freitag shared |
