Perhaps, it is a matter of local pride as the NC&StL was a predessor road of the L&N, and now the CSX. 

Though this may appear as nit picking considering the topic, but NC&StL and L&N were more correctly competitors. Sure NC&StL was first in Nashville (1848-50), but L&N, which started in 1850 (Louisville) had completed track to Nashville by 1859, about the same time NC&StL finished track to Chattanooga.

And yes, I can see Nashville enthusiasts take pride in the NC&StL. I firmly support the enthusiasm for the restoration of #576. Art, thanks for the updates!

(BTW, L&N and NC&StL are the only two railroads that I model in O-Gauge [year:1954])
