Sixty-five percent of Nashville, Tennessee, voters approved the $3.1 billion Choose How You Move transportation referendum on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Following the Civil War, the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville Railroad was in near ruins.

Standing on 10th Street in downtown Clarksville, it’s hard to imagine that this was once a bustling transportation hub around the turn of the 20th century. Passenger trains no longer pass through the city and freights trains are seldom seen. But, the tracks are there and they are still in use. The old depot, known by locals as the L&N Station, still stands, but it no longer serves weary travelers stepping off a train from Louisville, or passenger ready to being a trip.
