Here is some Standard-Definition "as is" video from my Panasonic Camcorder, shot years ago. You will see action in Downtown Memphis at Kentucky Street, as well as trains going through my hometown of Olive Branch, Mississippi.
NOTE: I found this in a file folder, and am posting it as is...
The late afternoon sun shines on the DPU unit (BNSF 5686) of loaded coal C JRMMHS0 32A as it crosses under the signal bridge at the CN crossing of Broadway.
Westbound intermodal train NS 213 passes through the campus of the University of Memphis with NS engines 7145, 7150 & 7142 for power as it apporaches the Highland Street corssing.
A pair of high hoods lead the Monday afternoon 391 train through the town of Rossville, Tennessee. NS 7067 approaches the east of of the Rossville siding along Railroad Street.
Heading east into Memphis at Kentucly Street, BNSF 5116 and NS 8990 head towards a meet with a westbound BNSF empty coal train on Broadway. The MMEEWX 29 train of the UP can also be seen in the distance.
Crossing over Central Avenue near Milton, CSXT 8067 brings the Q535 train down the mainline of the Canadian National in Memphis. This train is bound for the BNSF and has to traverse the CN to the "A" line to reach the BNSF Thayer South Sub.
Going past the Sunday afternoon railfans at Kentucky Street, UP's MMEEWX 29 heads out of town with UP 4602 on the point. Those new condos are sure making the hangout space tight near the tracks.
