First of all this is a fantastic article. Very informative and easy to follow. I've been a fan of some of the music about the L&N which brought me to the article. Some people may not know that the L&N has been the subject of numerous American songwriters and performers for decades and several of the songs provide a a glimpse into American history and the L&N's influence on people who were touched by it in some way. Here's a sample of some songs:
Stories about the L&N can be found in blues, folk and country music. June Carter gets my vote. Anyhow, I think this material is well worth adding to the article. I'll try and dig up more and get better details, I'll let you guys who have been working this article figure out how best to add it. Ideas? Mr Christopher 04:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore was written by dulcimer player Jean Ritchie. Another cover version is by Michelle Shocked (where I first heard about the L&N).

"Jeremiah Boyle was chartered by the state as President of the railroad after the war, under the title of Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad Company." I have to query whether this is exactly true. The sources linked seem to indicate that this was a separate railroad company, which was acquired by the L&N after the Panic of 1873. Since General Boyle's death date is given as 1871, it does not appear that he could have had any connection to the L&N. RivGuySC 22:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
