Louisville and Nashville Railroad Jellico Expansion Records, 1900-1902

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1
From the Collection:

This collection consists of a booklet, correspondence, and geographical maps of the Tuckahoe Iron Property and Industrial Site, located in East Tennessee. These materials are dated from the early 1900s through 1902 and relate to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company's attempt to expand from La Follett, Tennessee to Jellico, Tennessee. In the correspondence, civil engineer Robert Habersham Elliott discusses ownership of different lengths of railroad and pieces of land by county. To complete the project, he states that it will be necessary to "regularly condemn the right of way." The maps display the potential areas for expansion using a geographical map of the Tuckahoe Iron Property. The Tuckahoe property is comprised of over 7,000 acres in Knox, Sevier, and Jefferson counties in Tennessee.
