Rail
Service in Stewart County
The City of Dover has never seen the reality of a
railroad; however, Stewart County has. The Louisville and
Nashville Railroad ran through the extreme southeastern portion of
Stewart County through Cumberland City. The railroad was actually
constructed back in the 1860s and served as a major line through the
turn of the century. However, rail transportation began to slow
and eventually stopped in the 1970s. The tracks were pulled in
Houston County, forever changing the railroad history in the area.
And then, in 1997, after 19 years of nothing on the rails, R.J. Corman
literally saved the abandoned railroad line. An 18-mile portion of
the railroad still existed in Cumberland City that connected with a main
line in Clarksville, TN. R.J. Corman Railroad Company refurbished
the tracks and on October 12, 1999, the first train rolled down the
tracks.
