    1. [KYKNOTT] L & N Railroad Information
    2. Tim Ashley
    3. I am interested in any available information on the spur of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad that ran in Knott County to some of the coal mines. The tracks ran right by my grandparents' house in Yellow Creek. I would be interested to know when the trains stopped running to the coal mines. I'm 46 years old and can't really recall if they were still running when I was a kid, though I know for certain the tracks were still there when I was growing up. I would guess the tracks were removed a long time ago. I know the tracks curved around and ran through Vicco, too. If anyone knows which coal mines were serviced by this spur, that would be helpful, as well. Sincerely, Tim Ashley
