The Illinois Central—Martin, Tennessee

A southbound freight switches a bit and then rolls forward in Martin, Tennessee. When this photograph was made, the Illinois Central had been in Martin for over a hundred years—since 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 earlier—since the late 1850s.
