Dates:10/17/2012 - 10/17/2012
Album Info:The West Tennessee Railroad ( WTNN ) is a shortline railroad in the southern U.S., connecting Corinth, Ms. to Fulton, Ky. via western Tennessee. The company began operating in 1984 on a part of the former Mobile & Ohio Railroad ( M&O ) main line between Jackson & Kenton, Tn. It significantly expanded operations in 2001 through the lease, from the Norfolk Southern Railway, of the ex M&O south to Corinth & a former main line of the Illinois Central Railroad ( IC ) north to Fulton, as well as a branch from Jackson to Poplar Corner ex Birmingham & Northwestern Railway, acquired by the Gulf Mobile & Northern Railroad in 1924. All of these lines were part of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad ( ICG ) prior to its 1980's program of spin offs, during which Gibson County purchased the Jackson-Kenton line & the Southern Railway acquired the Corinth-Fulton line & Poplar Corner branch. The company is under common control with the South Central Tennessee Railroad & the TennKen Railroad. Its main line is planned to be upgraded as part of the MidAmerica Corridor, an initiative by the Canadian National Railway & Norfolk Southern Railway to improve rail service between Illinois & the Southeast.
