The '''Cumberland Valley Subdivision''' ( '''CV Subdivision''') is a [[railroad]] line owned and operated by the CSX Railroad ([[CSX Transportation]]) in the [[U.S. state]]s of [[Kentucky]] and [[Virginia]]. The line runs from [[Corbin, Kentucky]], east to [[Big Stone Gap, Virginia]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030120053534/http://www.trainweb.org/csxtimetables/Appalachian/CV.html CSX Timetables: CV Subdivision]</ref> along a former [[Louisville and Nashville Railroad]] line.
At its west end, the [[CC Subdivision]] heads north to [[Cincinnati, Ohio]], and the [[KD Subdivision]] heads south to [[Etowah, Tennessee]]. The east end is at an [[Interchange (freight rail)|interchange]] with the [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] [[Appalachia District]], where CSX trains can proceed south to the [[Kingsport Subdivision]] at [[Frisco, Tennessee]], via [[trackage rights]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/CV-CV_Sub|title = CV-CV Sub - the RadioReference Wiki}}</ref><ref>[http://www.multimodalways.org/docs/railroads/companies/CSX/CSX%20ETTs/CSX%20Huntington%20Div%20West%20ETT%20%231%201-1-2005.pdf CSX Huntington West Division Timetable]</ref>
==History==
===1886-1910: Construction of the original main to Norton===
In 1886, the [[Louisville and Nashville Railroad]] (L&N) began to work toward a route into the [[Eastern Kentucky Coalfield]]. Work from [[Corbin, Kentucky]] commenced on April 29, reaching the town of [[Pineville, Kentucky]] in 1888.<ref name="Trains">{{cite magazine|last=Flanary|first=Ron|date=July 2021|title='The Old Reliable' Lays Steel Into the Cumberlands|url=https://www.trains.com/trn/magazine/archive-access/trains-july-2021/|magazine=[[Trains (magazine)|Trains]]|location=Waukesha, WI|publisher=[[Kalmbach Media]]|volume=81|issue=7|pages=14-15}}</ref> The following year, the line was completed to [[Middlesboro, Kentucky]]. The line would reach into [[Southwest Virginia]] through a tunnel under the [[Cumberland Gap]] on September 1, 1889. The route was extended up the [[Poor Valley]] to [[Big Stone Gap, Virginia]] on April 15, 1891, then to a place called Intermont, Virginia (now [[Appalachia, Virginia|Appalachia]]) where it connected with the Atlantic and Ohio (later [[Southern Railway (U.S.)|Southern Railway]]). The route was completed to [[Norton, Virginia]] (then Prince's Flat) on May 15, 1891, completing a connection with the [[Norfolk and Western Railway]] (N&W).<ref name="BCH">{{cite book|last1=Fuson|first1=Henry Harvey|last2=Scott|first2=John M.|date=30 August 1939|title=History of Bell County Kentucky|volume=II|pages=23-25}}</ref><ref name="WnH"/>
====Middlesboro Belt Line====
Paralleling development of the L&N in Bell County was the building of a rail network in and around the town of [[Middlesboro, Kentucky]]. In 1886, the '''Middlesborough Belt Rail Road''' (MBRR) was constructed, encircling the town and running up Bennett's Fork to the southwest. The L&N would purchase the shortline on November 4, 1896.<ref>{{cite book|editor-last1=Mayes|editor-first1=Clyde|editor-last2=Mayes|editor-first2=Catherine|title=Railroad Ties from Knoxville, Tennessee to Middlesboro, Kentucky|date=May 2007|page=6}}</ref>
===1910-1930: Into Harlan County===
The present CV main from Pineville into [[Harlan County, Kentucky]] began life in 1910 as the '''Wasioto and Black Mountain Railroad.''' Constructed by local businessman T.J. Asher, the line departed the CV mainline near [[Wasioto, Kentucky]] and ran up the [[Cumberland River]] to [[Tejay, Kentucky]].<ref name="BCH"/> Shortly after its construction, the L&N would purchase Asher's railroad and extend it further up the river valley, arriving at [[Harlan, Kentucky]] in 1911. The L&N would follow up its Harlan County arrival with branches up the three forks of the river: Poor, Clover, and Martin. The L&N's Harlan County service would be enhanced in 1921 with the construction of a 17-track yard at [[Loyall, Kentucky]].<ref name="Trains"/>
The 1920s were a boom period for the Cumberland Valley Division of the L&N Railroad. As many as twenty-seven daily passenger trains would stop at the station in Middlesboro in 1921.<ref name="MidSta"><ref>{{cite book|editor-last1=Mayes|editor-first1=Clyde|editor-last2=Mayes|editor-first2=Catherine|title=Railroad Ties from Knoxville, Tennessee to Middlesboro, Kentucky|date=May 2007|page=26}}</ref>
===1930-1986: Expansion and the Switchback===
Further progress was made in 1930, when L&N completed what was then the Martin's Fork Branch and constructed a 6,244-foot tunnel under the [[Cumberland Mountains|Cumberland Mountain]] at [[Hagan, Virginia]]. Original plans called for an extension to connect with the Carolina, Clinchfield, and Ohio Railway (better known as the [[Clinchfield Railroad]]). However, plans were scrapped due to financial uncertainty, and the L&N decided instead to connect the new tunnel to the existing Middlesboro–Norton mainline via a [[Zig zag (railway)|switchback]].<ref name="WnH"/> To compensate for the lack of a connection to the Clinchfield, the L&N would obtain trackage rights over the Interstate from Norton to reach the railroad.
By 1939, there were at least eight separate branches constructed in Bell County, including one at [[Fourmmile, Kentucky|Fourmile]]; one up Straight Creek from [[Pineville, Kentucky|Pineville]]; one that ran up [[Clear Creek (Kentucky)|Clear Creek]] to [[Chenoa, Kentucky|Chenoa]]; a branch up Puckett Creek at [[Blackmont, Kentucky|Blackmont]]; and another up Bennett's Fork in Middlesboro.<ref>{{cite book|last=Fuson|first=Henry Harvey|date=30 August 1939|title=History of Bell County Kentucky|volume=I|page=10}}</ref>
The L&N would replace the [[Double-track railway|double-tracked]] portion of the line between Corbin and Harlan Junction with [[centralized traffic control]] (CTC) in 1956.
===1986-present: Big Stone Gap Connection to present===
In early 1986, now-owner [[CSX Transportation]] constructed a new bridge and a connection to the [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] (ex-[[Southern Railway (U.S.)|Southern Railway]]) at [[Big Stone Gap, Virginia]], utilizing that railroad's [[Appalachian District]] as a new route to the Clinchfield main. The original route to Norton would eventually be abandoned.<ref name="Trains"/>

In 1923, the L&N and the [[Atlantic Coast Line Railroad]] (ACL) entered into a joint agreement to begin operating the [[Clinchfield Railroad|Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railroad]] (CC&O). With the new agreement, plans were made to connect the Cumberland Valley Division with the CC&O mainline at Spears Ferry, Virginia, just west of [[Gate City, Virginia|Gate City]]. Plans were made to build the connection from the end of the L&N line in [[Chevrolet, Kentucky]], under [[Cumberland Mountain]], and on towards Spears Ferry. Construction on the connection began in October 1927. All told, 13.6 miles of track were constructed, along with a 6,244-foot tunnel under the mountain.

<p>In 1923, the L&N and the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Atlantic_Coast_Line_Railroad" title="Atlantic Coast Line Railroad">Atlantic Coast Line Railroad</a> (ACL) entered into a joint agreement to begin operating the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Clinchfield_Railroad" title="Clinchfield Railroad">Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railroad</a> (CC&O). With the new agreement, plans were made to connect the Cumberland Valley Division with the CC&O mainline at Spears Ferry, Virginia, just west of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Gate_City,_Virginia" title="Gate City, Virginia">Gate City</a>. Plans were made to build the connection from the end of the L&N line in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Chevrolet,_Kentucky" title="Chevrolet, Kentucky">Chevrolet, Kentucky</a>, under <a href="/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Cumberland_Mountain&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Cumberland Mountain (page does not exist)">Cumberland Mountain</a>, and on towards Spears Ferry. Construction on the connection began in October 1927. All told, 13.6 miles of track were constructed, along with a 6,244-foot tunnel under the mountain. The Harlan-Hagans route was opened on ODecember 1, 1930, at a cost of $5.3 million.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHayes2007106_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHayes2007106-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Further plans for the CC&O Connection were scrapped due to financial uncertainty, and the L&N opted to leave the switchback in place.
