The Louisville and Nashville Railroad (reporting mark LN), commonly called the L&N, was a Class I railroad that operated freight and passenger services in the southeast United States. Chartered by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1850, the road grew into one of the great success stories of American business. Operating under one name continuously for 132 years, it survived civil war and economic depression and several waves of social and technological change. Under Milton H. Smith, president of the company for 30 years, the L&N grew from a road with less than three hundred miles (480 km) of track to a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system serving fourteen states. As one of the premier Southern railroads, the L&N extended its reach far beyond its namesake cities, stretching to St. Louis, Memphis, Atla

rdfs:comment	Die Louisville and Nashville Railroad (LN, L&N) war eine Class-I-Bahngesellschaft in den Vereinigten Staaten mit Sitz in Louisville (Kentucky). Sie wurde 1850 in Kentucky gegründet und betrieb ein umfangreiches Eisenbahnnetz in Kentucky, Tennessee und Alabama und erreichte auch die umliegenden Bundesstaaten mit einzelnen Strecken. Die wichtigsten Hauptstrecken verliefen von Cincinnati über Louisville, Nashville und Birmingham nach New Orleans, von Cincinnati über Knoxville nach Atlanta, von St. Louis und Chicago über Nashville nach Atlanta sowie von Nashville nach Memphis. 1982 fusionierte die L&N mit der Seaboard Coast Line Railroad zur Seaboard System Railroad, die ihrerseits später in der CSX Transportation aufging.

Společnost byla založena roku 1850 státem Kentucky a v průběhu let se stala jedním ze symbolů rozkvětu amerického podnikání. Za 132 let své existence nezměnila jméno, přečkalaobčanskou válku, hospodářskou krizi ve 20. letech i další otřesy způsobené sociálními změnami a vývojem techniky. Pod vedením, který stál v čele společnosti v letech 1891–1921, se rozsah její sítě zvětšil z necelých 300 mil kolejí na 6000 mil v třinácti státech. Zdaleka tak přesáhla oblast vymezenou dvěma městy v jejím názvu a její tratě dosáhly až do St. Louis, Memphisu, Atlanty a New Orleans.
