    Description

    This print is restored from a 1940's postcard of the Louisville & Nashville Humming Bird. The L&N Humming Bird train, inaugurated in 1947, originally ran from Cincinnati, Ohio, to New Orleans, Louisiana, via Louisville, Nashville, Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile. It later connected to Memphis, Tennessee. It was a popular route for its affordability connecting New Orleans to several cities. It was discontinued in 1969.
    The Louisville and Nashville Railroad served the heart of the Southeast from New Orleans and Memphis to Atlanta and the Florida Panhandle. It also extended to St. Louis and later reached Chicago. It was controlled by the Atlantic Coast Line from 1902 until its acquisition by the Seaboard Coast Line in 1982. L&N later merged into the Chessie System and its lines are now part of today's CSX. Two of its best know trains were the Humming Bird and Pan-American that connected Cincinnati to New Orleans and later extended to Pensacola and originated in Chicago.
    This print is restored from the original and printed on gloss cardstock photo paper which is acid-free and with Canon inks that are guaranteed for 100 years without fading.  The prints come in the frame size as specified with solid plastic trim with a glass cover. We package it to minimize the risk of damage. Please note that the watermark is visible only on website photos and it is not placed on our final poster prints.
