When Jean Ritchie was a young girl, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad had a little passenger train that ran by the mouth of the Slabtown Holler in Viper, Kentucky, where the Ritchie Family lived. When the coal mines shut down, the passenger service along with the coal trains was discontinued. It was one of the first signs of hard times. The L And N Don’t Stop Here Anymore is a reflection of the period. —Jonathan Pickow Recorded on The Cool of the Day by The Düsing Singers (Greenhays Recordings)
