At Kingsport alone, the railroad handled more than 150 loads a day. In 1923, Blair & Co. decided to dissolve and dispose of its assets. In a surprising development, the Clinchfield was leased jointly to Atlantic Coast LIne and its controlled affiliate, Louisville & Nashville, for 999 years.
Where was the Golden Spike held for the Clinchfield Railroad?
Mr. Hemphill notes the entire 35-mile extension had cost around $140,000 per mile and a golden spike ceremony was held at Trammel, Virginia, just north of Sandy Ridge, on February 9, 1915 signaling the completion of the 276.9-mile main line between Elkhorn City and Spartanburg.
Why did the Clinchfield train have odd numbers?

What kind of tunnels did the Clinchfield Railroad have?
Caples, an engineer with mining and railroad experience, laid out and then built a magnificent low-grade, high-capacity railroad. Tunnels, steel viaducts, generous fills, and rocky cuts appeared as needed. More than 4 percent (almost 10 miles) of the line was underground in 55 tunnels.
