Caption: December 1925 L&N Timetable for the Cumberland Valley Division
Additional Description: The Pennington Gap stop is shown as Pennington. This 118 mile rail line runs from Corbin Kentucky to Norton Virginia via Cumberland Gap. Trains 21 and 23 originated at Louisville, splitting into two at Corbin with some cars continuing on to Atlanta and others on this timetable to Norton. The return trains 22 and 24 met Louisville-bound cars from Atlanta at Corbin for the return trip. Timetables indicate that passengers had to change trains in Louisville to reach Cincinnati. Stops between Corbin and Louisville are shown on a different timetable. Pennington Gap was a breakfast stop for train No. 21, the overnight train from Louisville. The line continues in service today for coal and freight traffic.
