Description This was the old Mississippi and Tennessee Railway. That used to run from Memphis, Tennessee to Grenada, Miss. (it actually connected with the Mississippi Central that ran from Canton, Mississippi to Jackson, Tenn.) It later became consolidated with the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley and it became a part of the Illinois Central System. This was once the route of the 'Panama Limited' and the 'City of New Orleans.' In 1995, due to the IC's decision to focus more on the ex-Y&MV route (probably because the ex-Y&MV route was five or ten years newer than the Grenada line, as shown in this photo, and it had a easier grade and a level land.) the C of NO shifted to the Yazoo Sub. When Canadian National merged the IC in 1999, they decided to keep the eastern line open. Currently, the line sees weekly locals and the occasional Nissan train that runs from Memphis to Canton, Miss.

Artist Statement There's not much to say. I'm a freelance photographer from Coldwater, Mississippi. I received my first digital camera from one of my customers' on my dry cleaners route. I have two photography shots. One is dealing with trains And the other dealing with Nature, People and other things. Hope You Enjoy them. But Sometimes I can do better.

In Later 2008. I'm planning to expand new horizons with a new Camera: a Nikon D40. I'm hoping that this collection will work out great for me.
