This series consists of photographs of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad's facilities in Birmingham, Alabama. These photographs were submitted to the Commission as Employees' Exhibit 32, are referred to by the letter O in testimony, and were taken by L.A. Dubose. Mr. Dubose was employed as a locomotive fireman and engineer by the Louisville and Nashville in the Birmingham Mineral Subdivision; he was also a member of Local 751 of the BLF&E. The L&N was a class I railroad that operated freight and passenger services in the southeast United States, operating as far north as Cincinnati and St. Louis, and as far south as New Orleans and Pensacola. The photographs in this series document the yards around Birmingham, primarily Boyles and Bessemer Yards. This series also documents various industries served by the L&N as well as the Birmingham Terminal Station, which was torn down in 1969.
