Palmyra Tunnel
Title:  Palmyra Tunnel
Description:  The lone tunnel on R.J. Corman's Memphis Line is this one at Palmyra, Tennessee. The tunnel carries the Memphis Line under the bluff that overlooks the Cumberland River. The L & N lowered the floor of the tunnel in the early 1960's to allow passage of auto racks. They had considered daylighting the bore, but were unable to do so due to a cemetery being located on top of the hill.

Cumberland City Turn
Title:  Cumberland City Turn
Description:  This is my take on a modern version of a J. Parker Lamb photo from 1959 (https://live.staticflickr.com/8200/29912942606_c37790350f_k.jpg). The L & N no longer owns the Memphis line and the majority of the tracks in the Lamb photo are long gone. Operations on the old Tennessee Central were taken over by the Illinois Central following the TC's 1968 bankrupcy. The IC abandoned the line between Edgoten (Ft. Campbell) and Chapmansboro in 1981, though several of the old TC bridges in Clarksville survive as pedestrian bridges.

Cumberland City Turn
Title:  Cumberland City Turn
Description:  The Cumberland City turn passes the site of the old Clarksville freight station. The bridge in the background once carried the Tennessee Central's Western Division over the L & N. The Illinois Central took over operations on this portion of the line following the TC's bankrupcy in 1968 before abandoning the Edgoten (Ft. Campbell) - Chapmansboro section in 1981. Several of the old TC bridges survive in Clarksville and have been coverted to pedestrian bridges.

Cumberland City Turn
Title:  Cumberland City Turn
Description:  The Cumberland City turn approaches the Cumberland River drawbridge at Clarksville. This bridge has an interesting history. In 1906 the locomotive, tender, mail car, and baggage car of a northbound passenger train went into the river when the engineer ran through the open draw. A similar instance occurred in 1947 involving a local freight train that was dropping a cut off cars at the old Clarksville freight depot (which was located on the opposite side of the track from where I am standing).
