MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Memphis Central Station, on the southwest corner of South Main and G.E. Patterson since 1914, in its heyday, hosting more than 50 trains a day filled with passengers.
It’s only a small part of Memphis’ railway history but inside that same building is a little museum that could and does tell the bigger story.
”Our whole focus is telling the Memphis railroad history story, we’re unique in that we focus locally because there’s so much detail,” said Memphis Railroad & Trolley Museum President Mike Fleming.
