Hello Everyone,
I am Trying to find someone out there who might have some information & history on the CF&W, (Caney Fork & Western), spur, off of the L & N out of Tullahoma to Sparta TN. Here is the link where I have gotten some information-but I would like more ( http://www.cafes.net/wayback/cfw.htm ). If anyone has more, please let me know.
Thanks to everyone in advance.
Carl
Try the L & N Yahoo Group, I’m very sure someone there can point you in the right direction.
Do you have the issue of Trains shown on that link, and during what time period are you looking for more information ?
Carl,
Somehow I missed this thread when you first posted it. How did you become interested in the Caney Fork & Western? I grew up in Manchester and it runs through the middle of town. As far as the history is concerned, the web site you linked to pretty much covers what I know. I still live in the area, and if there is anything in particular that you want to know, I might could find it out. I definitely could help if you have any questions regarding track alignments or current structures or businesses along the line. I could even take pictures if you want me to. Do you have a track plan? I would be very interested in seeing it if you do. If you want to speak to me directly, feel free to email me at the address in my profile.

Hey Robert,
Is it still the L & N that the CF&W connects to there in Tullahoma? I am trying to find that out so I know who to model on the connecting end. To bad it didnt continue on up the mountain to Crossville, then I am sure it would of made it over to me here in NC…CSX territory! LOL…Thank you Sir.
