Tribute to James Cullen Reverently Halted Railroading Across System
The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis and Western and Atlantic railroads paused all operations for five minutes at noon to honor James Cullen, longtime superintendent of motive power, whose death in Nashville prompted a company wide tribute. Engines stood, bells tolled, and workers paused as Cullen’s service to the lines since 1868 was recalled. He rose from engineer to master mechanic and superintendent of motive power by 1891, serving until his death.
