Forum dedicated to the Seaboard System Railroad and its predecessors, aka The Family Lines System, prior to its operational merger with the Chessie System, forming CSX, in 1982. Predecessors included the Atlantic Coast Line, the West Point Route, the Clinchfield, the Louisville and Nashville, the Seaboard Air Line, and the Seaboard Coast Line.

I am interested in exploring the Clinchfield south of Irwin this Fall and have never been in the area before. Any advice on accessing the Nolichucky River Gorge or The Loops? My railfan partner and I do not mind doing some hiking. Please reply via post or private message. Thanks very much.
Sorry you were unable to get any information; the Clinchfield is a road that intrigues me, though I haven't gotten into it as much as I ought and would like to. I primarily concentrate on the B&O.
As far as other forums are concerned, try looking for a Clinchfield forum in Yahoo, or try http://www.railfan.net
