Suburban station of Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis and Louisville and Nashville station located just north of Central Ave. on South Cooper Street. This track side view shows the steps to Cooper Street. The stairs are partially blocked by the girders of the Union Railway bridge on the left. The Union Railway tracks changed to this aligned in 1952. During the days of passenger service, this was a flagstop with a yellow painted, open, wooden shelter reached by a second set of stairs. These latter stairs were on the north side of the tracks, east side of Cooper Street. 1967 L&N Timetable showing Lenox Station
