Eastern Railroad Discussion > Paris, KY.

Good Morning, I was visiting my son in Lexington, KY. the past few days and took a drive up to Paris to check out TTI. Not much going on. Could someone tell me the name of the CSX branch that goes through Paris?
Thanks, John

John,

The CSX line is the CC Sub to Corbin. It was once the primary L&N Mainline between Cincy and points south, but with the serious cratering of eastern Kentucky coal, CSX has been gradually reducing it's prominence as a through route in favor of the line via Nashville.

Thank you Mike.
