Elizabethtown and Paducah Railroad

The Elizabethtown and Paducah Railroad was a 19th-century railway company in western Kentucky in the United States. It operated from 1869 to 1873, when it was purchased by the Louisville, Paducah and Southwestern Railroad. ^[1] It later made up part of the Illinois Central network and its former rights-of-way currently form parts of the class-II Paducah and Louisville Railway.

It connected with the Owensboro and Russellville (and subsequently with the L&N network) at Central City in Muhlenberg County.
