Specifications for KD Subdivision route, expect upload in a few days
Name of Route: KD Subdivision (kdsubdivision)
Version and Release Date: Version 1, Late December 2020
Description: The former L&N line from Corbin, KY to Knoxville, TN, including
a small portion of the Southern Rwy. (NS) Jellico line. Originally
The L&N used the Southern from Jellico to Knoxville and the short
spur at Saxton is what is left of the original line from Saxton to
Jellico. In 1905, the L&N built their own line from Saxton to
Knoxville but kept the Saxton to Jellico line for some years and
also built a Jellico-Lot line which exists and will be completed
in a future version. From 11/67 to sometime in the early 1990's
Southern, later NS used this line for operation of a unit train
from Arco mine to Jellico to Knoxville to Milledgeville, GA.
This line to Arco will also be in a future version.

Where it can be downloaded: Train Sim Library
Extra information: Any version of the Tsection.dat file will work except that
exit signals may trigger "ignored red light messages" unless
build 38 or (I am told) 44 are used. I have included build
38 in the documentation folder. There is one active coal
loadout at Gatliff, KY otherwise this is essentially a bridge
route. Version 2 & possible 3 are planned which will add the
SR (NS) lines in the area, more coal mines, and extend the
L&N (CSX) mainline to Etowah, TN. In the real world the KD
Subdivision (formerly L&N Division) extended from Corbin, KY to
Etowah, TN. Historic Data provided above.

The route was digitized from UsaPhotomaps and Google Earth by J. H. Sullivan at the
request of Dudley Evans who then created the route and asked Sullivan to edit and
clean it up.
