The L&N was chartered on March 5, 1850 by the Commonwealth of Kentucky to build a railroad between Louisville, Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee. Construction began in 1853, and the first train operated between the two namesake cities on October 27, 1859.

The L&N was very well known throughout its existence for being both profitable as well as reliable, even garnering the nickname "The Old Reliable" as a result of its consistent operations. In 1971 the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad acquired full ownership of the L&N and by 1982, it was fully absorbed into the Seaboard system.

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad played a crucial role in the development of rail transportation in the Southeast, leaving a lasting impact on the region's economic and transportation history.
