The General at Union Station

Nashville, TN. June 1962

The General was captured in a raid at Big Shanty (Kennesaw) Georgia by 19 Union Soldiers dressed as civilians. Eight of the soldiers were later captured and hanged as spies.

The General, rescued from the scrap heap arrived in Chattanooga in 1891 and was placed on display in the Union Station there until it was reactivated on April 14, 1962. In this photo the General is pulling Coach 665 carrying relics of the raid.

Area Adjacent to Present Day Nashville Union Station

This station was just North of what is now the Church St. viaduct, on the north side of the yards, i.e. right behind the Baptist Vatican.  It was actually owned by the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, forerunner of the NC&St.L, but was used by L&N, which at that time only had 1 or 2 trains each way between Louisville & Nashville, and by the Nashville & Northwestern, which operated between Nashville and Paris, TN.  The Edgefield & Kentucky may have also used it
 
This station remained in use, until the new station was completed in 1900.  About 1900, the Kayne Ave. yards were assembled, which at that time, and for many more years, were strictly N.C.&St.L, with all L&N freights using Radnor by way of the bypass through Shelby Park.
 
Nowadays, it is a small CSX facility, and a number of intermodal and other run-through trains just change crews on the north leg of the wye, around Charlotte Ave. and continue through to Memphis
