The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway started life 1851, but was controlled by L&N for most of it's existence until the merged into L&N (1957).  Known as a bridge carrier through it's 735 mile route in the south - it was the original Dixie Line railway before L&N adopted the motto. NC&St.L field a variety of passenger trains with heavyweight & lightweight equipment mixed together like it's parent road L&N.  Classic named trains were:  The Dixie Flyer, Dixie Limited, The Dixieland, The Georgian (Nashville to Atlanta), City of Memphis (Nashville to Memphis). NC&St.L No. 960 heavyweight baggage-express car became L&N 1355 sometime after the merged into L&N.
