FRA Info: Crossing Inventory Report for CSX RR, Demonbreun Street, PDF
Description: The CSX main right through Nashville is busy enough for any railfan, and it's relatively accessible; but
the high cost of food and lodging, and the lack of anything scenic from what I can see are enough to turn me off.
That said, there is much in Downtown Nashville for the urban tourist to enjoy. The town really revolves around music
and especially the Country Music scene.
