Louisville, New Albany and Corydon Railroad

The Louisville, New Albany and Corydon Railroad was a short line railway (reporting mark LNAC) that operated for over 100 years in Harrison County, Indiana between Corydon Junction and Corydon, a distance of 7.7 miles (12.39 km).^[1] It was sold to its main customer, Lucas Oil, on May 25, 2006. The line is now known as Lucas Oil Rail Line.^[2]

The LNAC was first established as the Louisville, New Albany and Corydon Railway in 1881, for the purpose of connecting Corydon to the main Louisville-St. Louis line of the then Louisville, New Albany and St. Louis Railway (later acquired by the Southern Railway) that ran a few miles north of town. After construction was completed, the line was opened for business in 1883.^[3] In 1887, the company was reorganized as the Louisville, New Albany and Corydon Railroad, a name it kept under various owners for well over a century, until 2006.
