The Tennessee and PacificRailroad was a 19th century United States American company that operated a rail line from Lebanon, Tennessee , to Nashville, Tennessee . The state of Tennessee chartered the railroad on May 24, 1866. The original plans were to build a line from Knoxville, Tennessee Knoxville eastward through Lebanon, Nashville, and Memphis, Tennessee Memphis to Jackson, Mississippi , where it would interconnect with westward leading railroads to the Pacific Coast . Hauling coal from the nearby Cumberland Mountains to western markets was an important intended source of operation income, as well as from passenger service and produce and freight hauls. Among the early investors and executives was former Confederate States Army Confederate general George Maney , who would serve for nine years as the president of the Tennessee & Pacific, starting in 1868 when he succeeded the late James Dunwoody Brownson DeBow James D. B. DeBow , the well known publisher of DeBow s Review . Plagued by difficulties in raising enough financing, the company finally began construction in June 1869 of the 29 mile line between Lebanon and Nashville. Funds were generated to commission the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works to manufacture two 4 4 0 locomotive s for the new T&P, which were delivered in 1870.
