Your twenty-two mile, one hour journey will be powered by the only restored Louisville & Nashville steam locomotive, #152, on selected weekends and holidays. Built in 1905, it powered passenger trains over these rails, the L&N's Lebanon Branch, when it was a major artery through central Kentucky. On other days, first generation diesels provide locomotive power for the authentic coaches on our rails.
