- Description:
- Taken along the riverfront of the Memphis terminal. Note the weeds obscuring the tracks causing poor footing and obstructing visibility of debris on the track. The tracks which lead in and out of the Beale Street Freight House of the Illinois Central are frequently blocked by transport trucks. You can see the close clearances in the freight house shown in the rear of the picture.
