Martin, Tennessee
The southbound Fulton, Kentucky, to Martin, Tennessee, local can be seen these three shots. In the first it is north of Martin at Old Sawmill Road. The next two images show it in Martin proper.
When this photograph was made, the Illinois Central had been in Martin for over a hundred yearsāsince the early 1870s. One can see an interlocking behind the train: this was the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway, which had been in this town even earlierāsince just prior to the Civil War.
Three images by Richard Koenig; taken March 23rd 1976.
